im new to worm... my question is:

i just cant rope out, when im holding "up" botton with "left" botton..
is there a solution for this? thanks!

Welcome!

You're experiencing a common problem called 'keylock'.

Some keyboards will not let you press space if you are holding 2 arrow buttons

On some keyboards there is a solution. For example, on my keyboard (Logitech Ultra Flat) I can use a program called "Intes Keychange" to change the space bar to my v key. This stops keylock from happening because of the way the keyboard is built.

So either buy a new keyboard (There have been threads about keyboards in this forum) or try using a keychange program to move your spacebar to another key and see if you can find a key selection which stops keylock from occuring.

Hope that helps :<

In addition to Cuesharks comment, I also use Intes Keychanger, but I use Left Control as Spacebar.

Works like a charm as my actual spacebar has Keylock.

buy a tarantula or a g15 keyboard, i bought a g15, didnot help anything in my roping, i still suck, and now i can blame 100% myself cos no more keylock to blame huehueheuhe

logitech G15 doesn't have keylock for 2 arrows + smth, but it locks you when you press 3 arrows at once (but it's not needed)
I use logitech G15, check it out

Maciej, on that video why did you slow yourself down with all those taps?

Husk · March 09, 2011, 02:29 AM

maybe its how he trains? not trying to make better time but training rope control?

Slow smooth controlled roping will ALWAYS be better than "OMGARZ TAPZ !!!"

Troy, I recommend not trying to finger-roll or any other form of silly taps, and advise doing it the old-fashioned and best way, with 1 finger
