Hi.
I have seen the auto walking bug on my computer as well. It can happen if the screen resolution is set wrong, or if some other software is trying to minimize Swamp. Then Swamp starts to act weird and  the mouse and keyboard starts to act weird as well. It might be an update to Windows 10 which conflicts with Visual Basic, I don't know.

this stamina thing really sucks, i can only swing my ax like 4 times at normal speed before the speed drops and I have to stop which is way too few times in my opinion. I am playing a level 23 character. But 4 swings basically renders the point of the melee weapons pretty damn useless because you are pretty much forced to take a hit. Please make it so that the melee weapon swings cost less stamina, so that maybe you could swing it like 7 or 8 times without it slowing down. I don't mind the other stamina changes but this is just horrible. Another thing about forcing us to use guns is that they're loud, and now that you've also put the shields on the stamina system you can't rely on them to block attacks, so you have to risk your armor being broken and your clothes bloodied, so you have just made the game a whole lot harder for the newbies. You can also make the stamina have a greater effect on higher levels who have probably invested more points into speed and who could get away better. But this is really just bad news for newbies.

Or, just put back melee the way it used to be, and don't charge us skill points to have it the way it used to be. lol
Just my two little old cents..

While I do agree I wonder what Aprone's thought are?  May I suggested a very small update or even a testing server to test melee and see it's effects.  This Melee debate is almost amusing LOL like watching presidential debates in the UNITED States.

I do still very much like the game, the only stresser I have is Melee since ammo is very short in HC, and crates not counting sometime.  Have you given anymore thought to using quest credits for some sort of store, like buying a reset or fort owners could set up a store of ammo for sail?

oh I agree that you shouldn't be able to run around with just a shield and do everything, but not being able to really use your melee weapons effectively is just a drastic nerf. That's why I am pushing for  a modest increase in the number of swings you can make before you run out of stamina; I think the system is probably good apart from that. I think that each time your shield blocks you should lose some stamina too and it should recover fairly quickly. THis would let you easily block 1 or 2 zombies attacking you with a shield but if you were mobbed by like a half dozen, then your stamina wouldn't be able to recover fast enough and your block would soon fail against all of the concentrated attacks, so you'd want to get out of there.

I just want to be able to threaten zombies with my melee weapons. Right now I have to walk up to them, and then start attacking when I hear my character get hurt, which just sucks. Sighted players don't have this issue because they can see exactly when their character is in range and then attack first. I know because I know of someone who was able to run a mission without a shield by just luring the zombies to chase after him, and staying just barely out of their range to complete his mission. That was of course efore deathbringer zombies were added, but it's just to illustrate that they had an advantage because they could actually see the range of the zombies. That's a drastic case, but now, he also has that advantage when loot  hunting on the main maps. I do believe your melee weapons do have a slight range advantage, maybe of 1 tile, allowing you to attack first, and now because of this stamina change, that advantage might as well not be there.

Well it is good to here from you aprone, you have been missed! while we are throwing ideas and changes I would like to bring up forts. The idea of owning forts and defending them is great until you actually have to do it especially the way things are now. For one when you lowered the food to attack to allow lower players to be able to attack i don't think it was for seen that people would exploit this by making side chars specifically for that purpose. As forts are now it is pointless to fortify them since all one has to do to bring it down is have a bunch of side chars all go in there and take off the armor and just sit there until somebody comes back online. You don't even have to fight any more to bring down a fort. We can thank buzz and rocky's clan for exploiting this for us . raiders could take care of these chars but currently they don't work the way they should. So currently the attacking clan will win every time as it is now no matter what the defending clan does. If you look at the forts right now we have a bunch of them empty cause a peace deal didn't work since all it takes is for somebody to be friends to some body else that a clan don't like to get attacked and of course its impossible to defend a fort. well hopefully this could be looked at for the future.

The other thing about this is that now that we have to use guns, a lot more zombies are attracted. And if we continue to use melee but slower, we get hit more, which means that we get bloody clothes which attracts more zombies. THe zombies were made harder during the time when melee weapons could be used without penalty. So now swarms are a lot harder to deal with, especially at lower levels when you don't have enough points to increase your blocking, sneaking, speed, etc. So if you are going to keep this change then I think that at least at lower level, zombie swarms shouldn't be so inescapable. It pretty much blocks off the access to maps like sub2 unless you are fortunate enough to find a vulcan minigun or something that can clear out a huge swarm of zombies. Missions are also drastically harder , and missions are the main source of people's levels. So now a new player needs help from oen of the super overleveled people to complete missions that will actually let them catch up. I also doubt that with this change, people would be at nearly as high of a level as they are, because they would have not felt safe running a mission with 180 death bringer zombies solo. So The damage has already been done no matter how you spin it.

@jayde
yes. it's possible to play with only your keyboard. you'll have to play around with the keyconfic but it's indeed possible.
i won't say the game has an actual storry, but you can read some small storry thingys in the different safe zones.

Hi all.
@jaide:
You can use this one. I myself just made it, because I'm quite silly with my huge trackpad and I prefer the keyboard overall.

Keep in mind that you got to remove the dash and the copia thing in order for the file to work well with the game.
Take care.
Mike.

I'm probably being dence, it wouldn't be the first time, but I can't find the link for the vote.

also Aprone, as people regularly ask for mirror links to download swamp I wonder if it would be an idea to post the download links I have put on here for my ftp on your website as a secondary as depending on where people are in the world etc they are often able to get a good download result if it fails from your main links.

just a thunk.

ah thanks. lol didn't think of logging in to check that. so yes I was being dence.
