Re: Physics model

SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

: The ability to turn and change direction in midair (air
: control) is native to Unreal Tournament, and is in
: effect in Marathon:Resurrection, just as in Marathon.
Marathon air control is *much* different than UT air control. In Marathon, you go in whatever direction you're facing at the same velocity. So you could jump off a cliff, turn a 180, and come back to the cliff at the same velocity you took off with.
Unfortunately, it's near impossible to get this physics to work in UT for internet play. It makes you jump around as if you had 2 second ping and every other packet was being lost. Not exactly desirable for multiplayer.
