qrack bug?

[=peg=]

I may have found another little glitch in qrack (build 1590).

I noticed that if i push my movement keys for a very short amount of time i move in the exact opposite direction! it seems to me that when u push a movent button (in any direction) u start to move in the opposite direction first for a very short moment..

I'm not sure weather anyone else has noticed this but i tried it on proquake and no such thing there.. at first i thought it had to do with my wireless keyboard but even with a non-wireless KB this happens.. playing online or off line makes no difference..

Most of the time this is not a problem tho but on some occasions i believe this glitch kept me from moving at all so i had to re-push the forward button.. which is just not what u need during an intense duell on aerowalk

(btw this "bug" also screws up tetris on "the hub" couse it makes ur blocks go the wrong direction sometimes)

ok i found out that this issue was somehow caused by the "always run on-by-default" feature of qrack.. while allways run was marked "on" in the menu, doing a +speed it made movement reverse in all directions(!).. marking always run "off" and doing a +speed fixed the problem..

actually this is due to setting cl_forwardspeed etc to an extremely high value (thanx to rocketguy for pointing this out) so the problem is easily fixed.. still i think it shouldn't behave like this tho (allthough making use of this 'bug' comes in handy for making a nice 180 degrees turn script )

//quick 180 degrees turn
alias turn1 "cl_yawspeed 25920;+right;wait;-right" //25920 = 180 deg at 72 fps
alias turn2 "cl_yawspeed 51840;+right;wait;-right"
alias +speedbug "cl_forwardspeed 999999;cl_backspeed 999999;+speed" //reverses movement
alias -speedbug "cl_forwardspeed 999;cl_backspeed 999;-speed"
alias +180turn "turn1;+speedbug"
alias -180turn "turn2;-speedbug"

hehe clever,

What I did with +speed was make it a toggle that is effected by cl_forwardspeed etc. Basically, if your forwardspeed is set less than 320, like 240 then when u use the +speed key your speed is doubled (up to max speed the server will allow) if its set < 400 then +speed will divide your runspeed.

So, if you use ALWAYSRUN on, then +speed will act like a slowdown, if alwaysrun is off then +speed will act like a sprint key (default).

If you have played Tomb Raider, or Halflife2 then this is exact same behavior

peace.

well i havent but thanx for making this clear! I had cl_whateverdirectionspeed set to some high value (20000 or something) just to make sure it was allways maxed out but aperently that resulted in some weird behaviour
