Haha that swoop is hilarious, gonna play around with it a bit this evening.

Just wanted to congratulate you on your progress with the flying mod crypto. It comes close to perfection. I can't honestly say much anymore, maybe only that you can't aim past a certain point when aiming up. Maybe if you'd want to add more things, diving down and grabbing enemies would be cool. Fly...

Oh yes, like the pterodactyl in primal carnage, grab targets and drop them at great heights.

The precision flying is going much better with the new version. It's also relatively easy to take down ground targets while flying with the rat throwing knife. I was encountering so much awesome things that I decided to make a video.

I made that mistake again after all this time lol .

Yes better actually and less confusing for new users since the glide was basically only a fixed vertical aimed "dive" (which is now actually the glide"). The flying feels great, it's starting to get really awesome. I think it's no longer necessary to use the jump animation when flappi...

Awesome, I feel like the flying mod opened the door to many flying characters being made. Besides how is the phantom rabbit going? That one looked unique and interesting as well. the phantom is going very well, i am working on more animations and am very close to releasing some new movement animati...

A squirrel, yes that's one the other few flying mammals besides the bat. Well he can't keep flying, more like gliding. Maybe it could be modded in that certain animals can only glide, not flap.

... :) You should definitely try the version of the mod that came out right around the same time as my video (it came out while I was uploading, so my video technically came out afterwards, but not enough to use the latest control scheme) - It allows you to use just RMB 90% of the time, because tha...

Nice video Anton, that are some nice flying skills. But I had problems when flying at high speeds through the towers. You go so fast that you can't get your altitude right in time. In the heat of that moment I sometimes got confused with the shared buttons and I didn't manage to get my altitude righ...

Hey Horridius, what about making hotspots that react when you fly through? And perhaps putting them into the air together with simple ring-shaped meshes? I don't have any real ideas for tomorrow, that sounds like something that wouldn't be too hard to put together. Maybe but I was more thinking to ...

Personally I find using space better and now we can leg kick again. I fixed the animations for the bat by commenting out that one line of code and tried to switch gliding to right click (like in the first versions) and diving to left click while holding right click. I got gliding working but broke d...

Hmm yes that can cause some confusion. Maybe flapping should go to space (doesn't matter if right click or not). Then right click gliding and left click while holding right click to dive. That way you could still do an easy leg cannon.

Looks good but the control scheme is starting to get a bit complex now (not to understand but while playing). I would say to bring back gliding to Right click, flapping to left click while holding right click (so that way we can still easily do a leg cannon) and dive to space while holding right cli...
