Revert to non-HD style controls in Eufloria HD

(1/3) > >>

Jonimoose:
I ended up with a copy of both Eufloria HD thanks to the latest Humble Bundle 4 for Android and I look the looks of the "HD" versions graphics updates but I was wondering if there was a way to use the mouse controls from the Original game in the HD version. The new controls require much more clicking and feel a heck of a lot less fluid than the controls from the original game. I understand the reasons for the change with the need to support touch screens and the like, but on PC the old controls felt much smoother.

Would this be possible as a mod perhaps, and if so I'd be willing to look into making it myself if pointed to the proper documentation.

I loved the original game and would love to be able to play the updated version but the new control scheme just bugs the heck out of me and makes my game play feel much much slower.

EDIT: It seems the second post in the Suggestions thread covers just about everything I had to say. I'll leave this post just to help others who might be searching the forum with the same thought.

Bonobo:
Yes! Too much clickety-click gives me RSI.

For example: PLEASE let me just pluck off flowers and Laser Mines as it was before … why force me to click somewhere else?

For example: PLEASE let me right-click to send of a scout seedling to an asteroid as it was before … why force me to click somewhere else?

Rudolf:
yep we know. :-)

Just to reiteratee, the HIB build is  a pre-release build, as in, we have yet to launch HD PC formally. So far this is what we had time for, and we will definitely make the controls more streamlined for the official release.

Please compile a list of things like this so we have a lot of feedback to work with.
As always we love you guys/gals and listen carefully to feedback.

Plucking: you can use a pluck gesture as you can on touch. Left click the flower and move the mouse slightly.

Scouting: left click-drag to a target asteroid as usual then tap the right button to send a scout. The targeting circle will still exist but a scout will be sent. Left click another asteroid the right click again - scout.

Also, what rudolf said! This is a beta to get compatibility issues out the way and to get feedback on things like controls. We knew previous advanced users would want some of those original controls but we couldn't get them in  the beta. Also to give mac and Linux owners a go :)

Bonobo:
Yeah, I know ot’s a pre-release.

But …

I thought that’s what we’re doing here?

Where else should I post this stuff?

And thanks, sillytuna, great to know! Must immediately check this with the last Skirmish Arena, and then I’m through w/ all levels in Eufloria HD, I think the fastest I’ve ever been in Dyson/Eufloria.
