do you plan to add mouse support?
we got mice with lots of buttons now, very responsive, and acurate. Uncomperable to the old two button ball mouse the original dos game used.
It's totally uncomparable comfort when compared to any most expensive joystick.
check how it works in boosted edition. it's magnificent control and precision.

Is this what you're looking for?

no, this is mode: absolute.
which is just a joystick emulation using a mouse.

dos game also allows real mouse mode: relative.

I'm reluctant to implement the relative mode because of two factors: It jitters with framerate changes, and it lets you move faster than joystick/keyboard controls, which throws the multiplayer balance off.

what does "mouse flip" do?

Guessing based upon ancient experience, but would expect it flips the Y axis.

>It jitters with framerate changes
So how do other mouse only games like duke nukem forever handle that?


>and it lets you move faster than joystick/keyboard controls, which throws the multiplayer balance off
gamepad and joystick gives obvious advantage over keyboard
joystick has obvious advantage over gamepad
with mouse it is not that easy - i would rather say it is two different strategies even when compared to keyboard
cause mouse doesn't allow dogfight - sitting on a tail and making barrels
other thing is nobody forces anybody to use a joystick
also everybody has a mouse, but not everybody has a joystick
