'strafing' during swordfights

[dachawa]

Once of the more annoying things about the original POTC was the swordfights - very frustrating, mainly due to the lack of strafing ability. I was grateful when I recently stumbeld across the Build Mod and found this had been fixed, it made the fighting much more bearable! However I have just installed Bulid 14 Alpha 9 with patch 4, and for some reason I can no longer use the "a" and "d" keys to strafe when in fight mode. The keys are recognised in the control settings for fightmode, but for some reason they dont seem to work. Has this feature been disabled in the latest version? (I could strafe when fighting in Build 13)

The last time I tried it, it wouldn't work when you had your sword drawn. If you sheathe your sword, you can move sideways. Through walls, even. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Agreed; you used to be able to sidestep during fights also, but not anymore. I tried to find the code that prevents this, but haven't had any luck yet.
Additionally I ran into some code that suggests that other characters should be able to sidestep too. I don't think that is ever happening. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />

Thanks for looking into it!
