Bulwark Evolution: Falconeer Chronicles News

Hi everyone,

As the continuing process of improving the controls I've uploaded a fairly experimental update.

Basically when building on the ground there has mostly been a cursor (faintly)visible. I added this cursor when people were reporting troubles with the controls. But with the addition of the wasd camera panning and other changes I wonder if this is still the right choice. As a user who enjoyed the old system reported it muddies the water a bit. Neither becoming a proper cursor based interface nor the streamlined system it was.

So as an experiment I've hidden the cursor again (only when in the 'buildline' on the ground). I think it is a good option cuz the buildline interface becomes less cluttered and more precises as your eyes aren't focusing on the cursor itself.

That said offcourse you can turn it back on, there is a new setting in the settings menu "hide cursor on ground" just disable that and it should be as it was before today.


Some other changes also.

1. Opening a captain/commander menu or activating an encounter now requires either right click or doubleclick (to prevent accidental openings)
   
2. The surveyor deadzone has been reduced a bit,, so it's a bit more responsive when clicking nearby
   

I'm turning the hiding on by default , just to see what the response is.,. so please let me know what you think.

Cheerio

I've put in a new setting that allows the cursor behavior to revert to how it was some time ago.

If you now

-set orbit to wasd in the controller menu
-set surveyor camera tracking to disabled in settings
-set cursor follows ground to disabled in settings

then you should be reasonably close with how the game controlled a few months ago.
Seems there are fans of the original controls and am happy to provide for them too.

I will in the future make some sort of choice menu so people can select between some presets old and new, something along those lines, for now its throwing some switchtes in various places.. Will consolidate that also at some point

Whatever flavour of gaming you fancy. We have you covered in the Wired Productions Summer Sale 2023!

Seemed the new WASD panning wasn't turned on for first time users.
Offcourse that solves nobodies issues. ;) So this patch is to remedy this.

If you already have the game installed you will need to reset your mouse controls or manually set panning to wasd (or arrow keys if you prefer) in the controller menu.

Remember you can rebind nearly all buttons in that menu as well. (always could)

default keybindings have changed once more.

floor up = R
floor down = L

demolish = v

that is all ;)


ooh als when switching between towers the ground floor will be default selected or the previously selected floor . So if you skip between different command towers the previous height should stay selected.

let me know if anything broke ;)
