This post will be updated later...

Oooo...That's Gnarly.

Cracka your good at this stuff keepin ppl at this project... (trust me his ethods are awesome) and with an helping hand with this you'll definitnly finish this

-Av3n

im guessing by the full public release that you never sent me the private beta tester one -.- anyway sounds great

Thanks Iron_Warrior and Av3n. Nice to hear that my effort to keep this project interesting and anticipating is working well and affective.

My goal is to give everyone a taste of the Closed Beta eventually. It's just your job to be patient and wait for your time to come when I send you an e-mail with a download link to the Closed Beta. No need to go hostile because you did not recieve a beta yet. Besides, the beta I handed out is very out-dated compared to what we have now. If you get accepted to the Closed Beta team soon, then you'll be in even more luck than the others!
~Craka_J

as i said the reason i am so "hostile" is because I WAS ACCEPTED and have waited over a month and a half with no hint of any testing coming at all

The progress goes fast for a couple days, then slow, then fast, then slow. So it's impossible to make proper plans. The earliest a Closed Beta will be released is probably next week. Though I have a feeling it'll be the weekend after. No later.
Sorry for the confusion and inconveniance our lack of information provided may have caused for you.

I hope by Movement with arrow keys have been adjusted to work more smoothly You really mean Movement with arrow keys is actually useable.

Anyways, great job from what I've seen of the old beta...the terrain is incredible. If you look at the high points of what you've got done it's amazing.

I agree with iron_warrior, the key movement in the beta was pretty poor to say the least. I gave up quick, although I have played maps with a decent key movement, so I know you guys can get it right!

Anyways, this is awesome, been waiting for a good update, thanks Craka!

Count that the movement key system also adjusts the camera as well

-Av3n

Well HappyTauren said he's working on the arrow key movement in JASS and making it better. I'll explain more of it later as it develops.
~Craka_J

HT made a map with a keyboard movement system where u could run around (also backwards) totally smoothly.

Yes. That's the one I am talking about. Though I think he improved it even more since then.

Does it still use the Arrow Keys? I know when using GUI they have a slight delay, but whether this happens in JASS too I do not know.

Running backwards would be pretty amazing, I'd have to say.
