Title: OpenArena Android Touchscreen Control Questions Post by: mod_mongerer on February 27, 2019, 10:53:39 AM Hi All,
Another question for the community. :) I like OpenArena on Android very much, and it doesn't crash with my custom Q3A maps, like QIII4A does. However, regarding the touchscreen control scheme, is there a way to disable the "double-tap D-pad to jump" function? I always find myself jumping when I don't want to. Also, how about the "automatically rotate 180 degrees if you turn fast" function? Again, I find myself doing that when I don't want to. To delve further, is there a configuration file that I can edit to make the game physics more like Q3A? Thanks for any and all suggestions!

Maybe setting 125hz physics instead of accurate physics... or setting timescale 1 to have the standard game speed (hard with touchscreen controls). Although using the console in the android port isn't exactly comfortable.... iirc pelya put a sort of speed slider to set timescale in the GUI...

I dont exactly know how to explain it, but you'll ge used to it eventually. Its actually even made playing Open Arena on android easier having that feature since i can kinda automatically pan and stop the screen by swiping hard opposite when i see a someone to frag.
Then again i've only ever done this against bots, and mot against nightmare or any difficulty of that bracket ^_^; Title: Re: OpenArena Android Touchscreen Control Questions Post by: mod_mongerer on February 28, 2019, 03:17:39 AM All good ideas. The suggestions to speed up the game worked. Thanks. As far as swiping, I actually found an option in the menu which allows you to disable the swipe 180 degrees feature. Now the only thing I still need is the option to disable jump on double-tapping the D-Pad. I couldn't find an option for that. Perhaps there's a config file I can manually edit to accomplish this? Thanks again.

Code: /set j_androidJoystickJumpTime 0 I'll add this to settings menu in the next update. If there ever will be an update, because I'm lazy. Title: Re: OpenArena Android Touchscreen Control Questions Post by: mod_mongerer on March 12, 2019, 03:44:17 AM Thanks!
