D1x Rebirth

[reiboul]

Hmm, yes, I forgot that some dpad mods do not have a way to utilise the stick button. Maybe add to that with Volume for Up/Down slide, and have Select + Volume Up/Down for changing volume, so people without the willingness to break things (I like fixing things, its what I eat and what I do ) / People without that button, can go up and down still.

+1 Vol+ / - to slide upper or lower (+ select for volume control), triggers to strafe, select for combos, Y/X to accelerate/brake, A/B to fire primary/secondary weapon, but Select + A/B is not as simple as select+triggers

I guess I have Tekken fingers, and can press Select+anything with one hand, but Select + triggers is good for changing guns too. Like stated, you can't please everyone in one go, have an option for multiple configs, even if hard coded

amazing. really. the fullscreen version just rocks.
it plays so well (but strafing with triggers would be nice, yes) and its perfect to show what the gp2x is able to do. superb. wow.

That would be ok except for the stick press. D-pad users and those who don't want to break the stick would not want to use that.

For those who prefer a d-pad the best solution would be a decently designed mod that did not discard more than half of the available input signals.

I will see what I can do about the controls. Currently the code only uses Buttons in combinations with OR - not AND. It`s probably a bit tricky but it should be somehow possible. There's still a bit overload with D2X since the AI is still not working 100% and this AI code is %$&§$%.
However I guess the next version will be at least be able to play Music via Timidity. I will also work on case insensitive Filehandling which should make you able to run addon missions without problems.

Only played through the first level because I'm saving it for a later date, but so far this seems like an excellent port. Yes the controls are tricky, but I've always had that problem with Descent

Thanks zico!

 

[jbrodack]

great port. i think the default controls are actually very well laid out considering how complex the controls for the game are

I never played too much Descent when it first came out, just the first couple of levels, so this is a new experience for me -- and a very good one! I found the controls very easy, although user tweaking is always a bonus for keymaps. Still, it was far more enjoyable to play than I expected. Excellent job, and a big thank you.
