Slowing down the walking

[SherlockTAS - MSW]

I have to ask because I just started playing the first Avernum game today.

 

Is there some sort of way to slow down the character walking to one block at a time instead of two?

 

I prefered the walking the way it was in the Exile Trillogy.

Edit: Uh I see what you mean, your using the mouse right? thats quite annoying, I use the number pad unless I want my party to "run", it offers much more control, have a practice with it and you'll get used to the directions hopefully.

I think I've hit upon something. I used my right mouse button instead of the left out of curiosity and found that the characters started moving one step at a time instead of two.

 

Not sure though if this works with anyone else's mouse.

I have no idea what you're talking about, but I assume that's because I use the keyboard and a Mac.

I'm using a two-button mouse (on a Mac), and the PCs move one space at a time with left or right click. I don't normally use the mouse, as find the arrow keys to be more convenient.

Mine have always walked one step. But then again I've always used left click. Who knows......

Go to File Menu, then Preferences, and set Game Speed to something lower if single-space movement still proves trippy.

You can just click with the left button of the mouse but you have to stay clicking every time

Yeah, I'm on a Windows and my right mouse button makes there be only one step. Quite useful, usually. I hate walking 2 spaces at once.

I use a laptop Computer, which has NO number pad. Any suggestions?

It's kinda hard to look for secret passages moving two at a time . . .

Can they not update Avernum 1 to use Avernum 2's mouse scheme? Man, it is sooo much better. Left click works as it should (one click, one step. Hold it down and zooom! Off ya go and no more barrel-pushing, door-opening annoyances!). Right click brings up the talk/look command (that's right, it intuits which one you want!). Seriously... it should be updated.

They could, but Spiderweb has never done something like this before. Apparently Jeff's code is something of a mess, so changing one little bit here could throw off the balance in three other places that he doesn't expect.

I agree Lochmacher, I like A2's walking system much better than A1's.

Oh, freak, I thought I was the only one annoyed by the "two step" annoyance from A1. Setting the speed lower didn't seem to work for me, and I just need to have it higher anyway, for everything else (got a lot of work to do killing those Imperial Slugs)!

 

It would be REALLY cool if Mr. Vogel would release updates to the engines and bugs and stuff for registered users of his games. I would be on this site, like, eight times as much as I already am. Which isn't that much, actually. Sorry guys...
