Wamdoodle posted:a lot late but you weren't kidding It's true. The Dusk community is great. I really hope CTF and TDM and custom game modes come soon because the only thing I really want out of dusk is an online presence strong enough to let me jump on and frag whenever I feel like it without having to rally people on Discord, and Duskmatch alone hasn't had the legs to make that happen. I also wish it didn't take so long for audio to load when booting the game but hey--aside from those two things Dusk is

I am now reminded of the absolute banger of a single player FPS that is Resistance 3. You want to carry eight thousand freak rear end guns (selected through a radial menu)? You want to collect health packs? You want scripted set pieces and intense fire fights? You want to watch Insomniac Games just crib essentially the entire gameplay setup and journey from Half-Life 2? Yeah you do. It's great.

This made me want to go back and play Shadow Warrior '97 again I remember playing through Wanton Destruction on the easier difficulty, and it was still a pain to finish. The sounds those ninja replacements make are burned into my brain. I noticed he mentioned Deadly Kiss at the end. Is that still being worked on?

I don't mind radial menus, but I really liked Doom16's. I would generally use the numbers or the mouse wheel, but sometimes it was useful to bring up the radial menu to give yourself a moment to think about which weapon to use for the current situation. It slowed time down just enough to let you think, but not so much that you could take a lot of time. I got really excited thinking this was going to be an alternate HUD for a (probably very early in development) source port. It looks ok though.

Hey, I like using number keys for weapons but you know what? In games with lots of weapons/powers/whatever? I'll take a radial menu any day, gently caress it. It's just convenient, even with mouse and keyboard.

The console port of HL2 had a good system I’ve rarely seen anywhere else- the weapons were put in stacks on the dpad. So to e.g. pick the crossbow you’d press down 3 times quickly.

Yeah the issue I always have with number keys is anything that's not mapped to the numbers 1-5 might as well not have a binding because it gets awkward trying to reach over there from WASD without looking at the keyboard.

Weapon wheel chat: Undying uses wheels for weapons and spells but also individual keys so it has the best. I usually bind my favourite stuff around WSAD and mouse buttons and then Q and E as wheels for selecting the rest.

One of Dusk’s major sins is putting the rocket launcher on 9. 9! Also the SSG and dual shotties didn’t need to be on different binds.

Doom 2 for xb360 does this, but it just isn't quick enough on ultra violence for me. I much preferred the weapon wheel from new doom on my xbox. Especially when it also gives you a last weapon button so you can hotswap between 2.

Turin Turambar posted:Cliking on '6' in Doom 2 to get the PG with the hands on WASD is also not instantaneous How so? On a controller, I think that the ideal setup would be to hold LB and then press Up/Down/Left/Right/A/B/Y/X to pick a weapon. Double tap LB to switch to previous weapon.

And that's why the number keys beyond a certain point are awful for weapon selection. Doubling up similar weapons and spreading them around the WASD keys is fast and more comfortable.

One of the things that absolutely blew my mind about Half-Life was the binding of multiple weapons to a single number key. Thief and SS2 let you do something similar by letting you bind the same key to multiple things with modifiers, so, e.g., '1' could be the wrench, laser rapier, or crystal shard depending on which modifiers I pressed. 90s Cringe Rock posted:Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri had a cool in-game UI. Hell yes it did. (And it was mostly a refinement of System Shock's, plus some reskinning to make it "the HUD projected by your battlesuit" rather than "the HUD written directly onto your optic nerve by your cybernetics".)
