Caanoo / WIZ Abuse Port For Wiz Please.

[iioo]

I really enjoy the gp2x version of Abuse. Would it be possible to port it over to the Wiz?

Anyone is welcome to use my port. A lot of developers got a free Wiz but I was not one of them so I'll leave it to someone else as I can't really afford one right now.

There are two bugs in the source that need to be fixed, FYI:

1.) Music volume can be adjusted but gets reset to 100% after a song changes. Easy fix.

2.) When using DPAD-modded F100s (and possibly the Wiz) the directions for the mouse cursor emulation are messed up and need a tiny fix here or there.

I've fixed both of these but I am so busy with random expensive car-repair crap and mandatory work overtime I'll never get around to updating the archive's source anytime soon. Glad to hear you like the GP2X version, I worked very hard on it and have surprisingly fond memories of those many months of hammering away at memory bugs

Senor Quack how critical is the GC functions you used? I dont have these in my toolchain and it looks like they come from the kernel?

It's a open-source garbage collector: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/

They're pretty critical because it's the only way I found to finally conquer the final memory bugs when starting the actual game. I believe they're only used in the Lisp code.

Here is a link the GC binary I compiled for Abuse:

I also used a custom SDL compiled with it because I read all threaded libraries must be compiled with it too. But I am thinking now that I didn't bother to use an SDL_mixer compiled with it so maybe you can get away with just linking to it and not bothering recompiling your libraries.

Thanks, i built the gc lib. Im running into errors now at the end where libtool is trying to link everything and do some other stuff. Did you run into at all?

I had a million problems and it was about a year ago that I did it so I cannot remember specifics. The modified Makefile I used is included in the source package. I used the Linux Open2X 4.1.1 toolchain.

Seems the libtool is out date or something, found a post with the similar issue. Talked about doing these commands and it seems to have fixed the problem:
aclocal
autoconf
automake

Update: wow got a binary!

Update 2: and it works! yippee

Seems to work fine. Well done.

Another great port, no problems so far. Thanks !

I just tried this, looks pretty good on this screen.

There are a few "bugs" that I think would be easy to fix.

First, when you first start the game the volume is set to 100% MAX resulting in speaker blowing LOUDNESS.

Also setting gamma does nothing from what I noticed. It is still a bit too dark and you can't really see the background texture.

Is there another place to set this like a config file somewhere?

Otherwise it is working great, thanks.

 

[Spykez]

very well done and cool, is there any way to change the movements to the left d-pad tho? using L+R is a pain

 

[Sitizen]

Running with L+R is awkward but this game was meant to be played with both, mouse and keyboard, anyways. Try the touchscreen version.
