Idea+question about multiplayer

[anonymous]

Using the stylus to look (stylus -) and the 5-way navigator to walk and shoot generally works really well compared to before Metaview added stylus look. Although it is still hard to jump without repositioning one's hands. I looked up how Metroid Prime: Hunters solves this problem and it uses a double tap of the screen to jump. I was hoping that the next release could include this functionality to perfect the ZQuake controls.

With the multiplayer, I have only been able to connect my Palm to a local computer over wifi and vise-versa. I was wondering whether this feature also enables internet mulitplayer. I receive the following when I try to connect to a server over the internet:

CL_SENDMOVE: LOST SERVER CONNECTION (repeated many times)
NOT FOUND COM1
UNKNOWN COMMAND "COM1"
TRYING...
STILL TRYING...
STILL TRYING...
(one more line here, disappears before I can read it)

I appreciate any help. Thanks.

Interesting idea, will need to implement it, right: If you have stylus enabled, double tap is jump.

About the MP over internet: Don't know yet, haven't tried it for ages. But you would need a Quake1 server, the network code in Quake Arena is different as far as I know.

Thanks Metaview! I'm looking forward to it.
