Remember how the original SpaceTug played around with client.eye and thereby defeated smooth movement? Well, the problem may strike again. I'm planning to make a game with a map 11 turfs high but somewhat wider, and I want to set client.eye to keep the mapless black areas from showing at the top and bottom edges. If I do this, though, I'll run into the jerky movement that people complained about in the past.
My past proposal for a solution was simple (to describe, if not to implement): if the new client.eye value is only one turf away from the last setting, smooth movement occurs.
If it's not possible, I'll deal with the jerkiness (it bugged the players a lot more than it bugged me), but I figured I'd mention it... thanks for reading!
(Of course it's possible that this was changed in some past release... if so, never mind.)

Ok. I'll check into this. Your proposal sounds just as reasonable now as it did back then!
