B872 - Nice spectator camera + arrows lag fix

This build hopefully (we need to test with this release) fixes the choppiness of arrows and other projectiles. It also should improve performance significantly when there’s lots of arrow rain action.

SPEC CAM INSTRUCTIONS
Use mouse cursor or WASD to move it around
Left Click - to change view to first teammate to the left

Right Click - to change view to first teammate to the right

Changes 870-872

[removed] dinghy damage (again, hopefully correct)
[re-added] minimap (but wont show for maps smaller than 128 width)
[fixed] archer camera twitching on triple arrow shot
[modified] some significant delta sending changes/improvements/fixes
[modified] smoothed and fixed singelplayer issues
[modified] projectiles don't use box2d bullet physics
[fixed] camera not set in the middle on join game
[fixed] snapping when team member near edge of map

Have fun!

Ahh the mini-map is back and spectator is fixed :)

 

Awwwww.

I loved this bug. It gave me a clear indication when I had a triple shot ready when zoomed all the way out. Oh well. I do like the other fixes.

 

I can't wait for "[added]CTF" keep up the good work devs. Also was the whole clicking as a builder to mine was faster than holding down a glitch. If so

 

No it wasn't a glitch but they got rid of it, assuming it was a little too much for some players to spamm the click button and tiresome...

 

I'd rather use the drill than click mouse button really fast until my finger becomes stiff, glad it was removed.

 

Removing it didn't make your finger better. Not doing it makes your finger better. Thats is not a good reason to remove it. I hate that its gone. Its one of those little mechanics that help, but not everyone knows. I wish the game had more of those. Then it would actually add some skill to the game.

 

So your saying players that get a sore finger doing this little mechanic should stop doing it; doesn't that exclude them from this little mechanic?

The skill of messing with the game or looking through the logs and finding a little mechanics is most likely going to spread and eventually eveyone knows...

 

I really don't under stand the looking through logs thing, sorry. Also the sore finger thing. Come on it can't be that bad. I still spam click and nothing. If it hurts your finger that bad I guess you will have to be excluded than. You know what they say "no pain no gain"(joke :))

 

Skills in mashing your mouse faster, what the fuck?

 

Its not the clicking its the knowledge. Also it wasn't fast clicking, There was a timing that could do it the best, but that is not relevant.
