Weapon and psionic keys

• Number keys pick weapons is now called Weapon and psionic keys, your choice is kept
• It is no longer experimental
• Each weapon and each psionic power takes two keys on the launcher's Controls page, under the setting
• At first a weapon has its number and the same number on the keypad
• The powers have no keys at first
• A key shows the game's weapon list or psionics list for a second, and the game plays on
• The key of the weapon or power already in hand shows no list
• Blast's key still picks it once the game turns it into TeraBlast
• With the setting off the game chooses weapons as it always did

The keys on the launcher's Controls page, here with keys given to the powers:

Setting the keys:

• Click a key and press the new one, Delete takes a key away
• A key an action has cannot go to a weapon or a power, and theirs cannot go to an action
• The note says who has the key, and Take it moves it there: the other gets your old key, or none
• Two weapons or powers swap their keys
• Shift, Ctrl, Alt and the fixed keys never pick
• Nothing is picked while Alt is held, so Alt+Enter stays the window's
• A key that an action gets in the other scheme shows faint, the action keeps it

Psionic keys use the power

• A new setting under Weapon and psionic keys, on at first
• A power's key also uses the power once it is in hand
• Holding the key keeps using it, like Psionic attack
• With it off the key only picks the power

Both settings are in the game's menu too, on Controls:

Enemies and shots at 60 FPS

• Under 60 FPS gameplay enemies and shots now move on every frame, as doors and lifts do
• Before, the game moved them on every second frame, so they jerked against the smooth world
• In-between frames carry them smoothly too

Enemies:

enemy-steps.mp4

At quarter speed:

enemy-steps-quarter.mp4

Shots:

enemy-shot-steps.mp4

At half speed:

enemy-shot-steps-slow.mp4

Controls page

• Keys come right after Control scheme
• Weapons and psionics have a group of their own, their tables under the setting that turns them on
• Default weapon and psionic keys puts back only those
• Delete takes an action's key away too
• Two profiles keep every key of the page, the weapons' and the powers' too: Save to 1 or 2, Load 1 or 2
• The scheme and the mouse stay out of a profile
• Bring saves brings the profiles along
• Mouse, Vertical look and Gamepad follow

Bass

• A new setting on the Audio page: Bass, with Original, Reduced and TV speaker
• The psionic powers are heavy in deep bass: Blast carries three quarters of its sound under 160 Hz
• A TV's small speakers played little of it, headphones and subwoofers can play all of it
• Reduced lowers what lies under 80 Hz, TV speaker what lies under 160 Hz
• It changes all of the game's sound: effects, music, voices and movies
• Original plays the sound as before and is the default

Blast under each choice, with sound:
