hi,

first of all: nice game.

second: truly, er, unconventional controls. however, editing control.txt fixes that mostly.
The only thing that still sucks is the camera control. since it doesn't follow your character you apparently have to control it manually.
right now i put the camera control mode on the middle mouse button which helps a bit, but i'd like to have the camera control mode permanently activated, so that every mouse movement moves the camera.

is that possible ?

cherrs!

Welcome to the forums (and the game itself)! Have a cookie!

The camera controls aren't really changeable outside of what you already know how to do.
I think they could be better, too, but they're not that bad.
Also, it SHOULD follow your character. Just not the direction it's facing. But that's probably what you meant.

You could always use 7 and 9 keypad keys. (unless you changed them)

well, since mouse movement is grabbed anyway and - for some reason - used for character movement, i thought you could just assign it to something that makes sense.

In the video options menu you can change a few camera modes. (Autoturn functions). See if that fixes what you wanted.

In 2.6.1 you might have to do this manually in setup.txt

There's no autoturning the camera in 2.22. (It's very old)

The auto camera has been in egoboo since the beginning, but it was disabled for a while because people did not like it.

That's why I duct taped the mouse back then XD
