I would like to vote to keep the limit. The sniper rifle is such a powerful weapon, that it needs an artificial limit such as this to make it a bit more fair. Also, in real life, laser scopes have a limited range that is much smaller than the range of the bullet. If I'm not mistaken, Worms has a limited laser scope too, though that is important of a reason than the first one. > >> It is possible changing one single line of code.

I think what he is saying here is that the up and down movement is jerky, and it is very hard to make it line up with a specific target point. Moving small increments is very hard. This is simply part of the game however, and not something inherit in the sniper rifle. If I remember correctly, artificially lowering your frame rate allows you to aim better. I like the idea of using shift to make smaller movements. kyle _______________________________________________ Wormux-dev mailing list Wormux-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wormux-dev
