Beat2x V0.2

[miq01]

it shows the highscore menu and stuff but i never get an option to save my score.

​

You say you beat the first 2 songs. After that, you play the 3rd one completely? Or after seeing the "FAILED" message you press START to stop playing? If this is the case, it doesn't ask for your initials in this version (will be solved for the next one). It will only allow you to enter your initials if you lose after finishing the whole song.

Hey, Ive found a glitch.

Ok, I just put a second pack on my 2x, and it automatically allowed me to select any of the first 3 songs (there are 4 in the pack). I think this is because I beat the first ccMixer pack, and now it doesn't have a seperate setting for this new pack (found here http://www.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,23,1370). Hope this helps

Yep that happened for me also.

I made a 3 song pack... and it lets you choose a 4th song (even though there is none),becuase there is no song it jumps straight to the name entry for the hi-scores screen.

I now have a hi-score of 0 in this pack because of this.

 

[miq01]

Thanks. I'll check the code to see what's wrong. In the mean time, can you erase 'settings.dat' from your pack and see what happens?

 

[PokeParadox]

Deleted settings.dat.

It still lets me choose all Levels (+ a non-existant Level 4.).

Thanks PokeParadox. Then, enjoy it while you can as I'll try to change this behaviour ASAP.

Hey miq01, just wondering the status of the newest release of beat2x, any expected dates? Thanks again.

No date yet. I'm not sure if I want to release the next version without combos (not fully implemented yet).

Here's what's new for now:
- Solved bug that allowed to play levels not beaten before
- Pressing START during game saves score and level
- Exchanged up and down arrows
- New look (thanks Zenzuke!)

And here's how it will probably look like (several people asked me for much larger and clearer arrows):

any chance of a pause button


I always want to pause, and i never can

EDIT: That looks sexy, now I gotta re-do my entire pack to accomidate the new up down switch Oh well.

There's not going to be a pause button, at least for now, sorry (hard to implement, not top priority now).

And, no, you don't have to redo your pack! Ys are Ys and Xs are Xs as they were before! I haven't had to redo my packs either.

For making song pack, how do I change the background for each song? There is only one background picture. Also, how to make it to push two buttons the same time at once?

None of this options is available now, but they will probably be sometime.

I'm liking that new look Miq! Them arrows would definately be an improvement I think.

Thanks! And thanks to Zenzuke, the man doing the artwork.

Any chance of future support for stepmania step files?

Not in a near future, but I'm sure I'll work on that sooner or later.

No, I mean I made it so it looks pretty:

Left Up Down Right

Instead of being in order is now Left Down Up Right, so its not a diagonal line. Whatever, Ive already fixed my pack for the new version, I cant wait for a release. Im gunna get mine done soon, and maybe release it around the same time as yours.

 

[triton]

new look is ehhhh ok, i personally loved the old look. i hate how stepmania looks and plays on the PC, beat 2x is much more fun and playable! in my opinion, i like songs that are challenging but not impossible and not twitch-psycho-abillion beats a second fast that i cant see the arrows hardly! i have problems with songs over 5 feet on easy(youve screwed me man! ihit up instead of down casue im so used to beat2x, now i will suck at it too when you update! but i shall accustom myself i guess) and alot of songs are like 200-600bpm thats crazy! im not that fast! i dont want spaz fast stuff, but enough ranting and whatever, keep up the good work dude! im hooked!

Will it be possible in the future to set up your own button configurations (So that you can have A = Left, X = Down, B = Right, and Y = Up; this way you can play it more like Stepmania, making hard songs possible on the GP2X).

 

[PokeParadox]

Er... dude, you can already use the buttons or the stick or both...
