[Vote] Default Mantle Roll

[Daft Mugi]

 

All right y'all. We need some good ole data instead of 28 pages of -- well, you know.

The "mantle roll" is the amount the view rolls or tilts during a mantle.

So, if you could be so kind as to:

• Launch TDM 2.12 Beta
• Go to Settings -> Gameplay
• Set "View: Mantle Roll" to:
  • 1.0 and test in game (100% of original mantle roll)
  • 0.5 and test in game (50% of original mantle roll)
  • 0.1 and test in game (10% of original mantle roll)
• Finally, vote for your preferred setting.

The increased mantle speed changed the feel a bit and perhaps the mantle roll would feel better tweaked some to match it.

(Edit: To clarify, this is about a potentially different default mantle roll value. The "View: Mantle Roll" slider in the settings will remain, regardless.)

This thread is for your click-ity click vote on the poll at the top of this page.

All constructive comments about the increased mantle speed in 2.12 are welcome on its own, wonderful thread:

This is not true.

0.5 is alright. I voted for 1.0 mostly because I'm used to seeing it, but with the new mantling speed I'll probably change it to 0.75. Having the option to customize it is great, everyone can set their preferred value.

I like 0.85 to 0.9 so I guess for me is not a big difference playing it with 1.0.

How would it look like with 2.0 or 3.0? Just curious.

Well, it looks quite funny. The view rolls more than 180 degrees, turning the player into some kind of unnatural monster of sorts.

The cvar to set this is "pm_mantle_roll_mod", and its value has been capped at 1.0 in order to keep the player within the human range. No exorcist needed.

Today could very well be the birth of the "Run & Roll" mechanic (I am serious).

In before fan mission where Garrett becomes Jack the dizzy Ripper under some vile necomancer's spell.
