New to Armagetron

Post by Wookie »

Hey I am new to this forum I played this 2 years ago and have finally got myself this game I have always loved it, and it is alot faster than wat I remember it, but I try to do quick turns but no matter how fast I try and press the keys I always turn and and hit a wall, ( this is wen I am close to a wall). Is there a way to change this so my guy can react quicker or make it so I can actually to very quick turns, I used to be able to on the old one.

If you're already double-binding, then I suggest checking cycle_delay. The default changed, iirc, from 0.04 to 0.1. It's possible the default has always been 0.1 and it was just more common to lower it, but 0.1 is pretty common on servers right now.

In game, you have to press the console key (which you can configure in System Setup > Misc Stuff > Global Keyboard Configuration) and type:

Code: Select all

cycle_delay 0.04
Perhaps you also want to adjust the 'rubber' from its default, that case you type:

Code: Select all

cycle_rubber 5
There's a list of console commands here -> http://wiki.armagetronad.net/index.php/Console_Commands
