The movement system

I use the FPS Nav extension from SketchUcation for doing walkthroughs, but I would NEVER want to use that to actually model or do anything else really.

It’s cumbersome to try to get under over or behind objects quickly using the wasd movement system.

The extension is kinda a work in progress but with some tweaking it works well enough.

The tweaks are complicated, though. It involves some musical chairs with certain files in the extension folder.

Tweak Explanation

A man has edited the code of the FPS Nav extension to fix some bugs:

  • Stuttering camera movement
  • Inverted x,y look
  • Along with other things.

But the implementation of the code he changed is not very straightforward.

First install the FPS Nav Extension.

Then follow the instructions found in the following GitHub thread:

**** OR ****

The best thing would be to take Nathan’s changes and the extension itself and then somehow combine them into a single RBZ. A dear forum user has attempted to do just that, and it seems to have worked. You can follow this link to his post where you can find and download the forked version of FPS Nav as an RBZ:
