This is a full game, and thanks to Irrgheist, we have been allowed to distribute it, with datas, on openpandora.org!

/!\ On CC and Rebirth model, default graphic driver give pretty bad Framerates, use 4.04 driver for best results /!\

wow, that seems marvelous, thanks Irrgheist, thanks ptitSeb!

 

[ptitSeb]

And also, thanks to @magic_sam for the négociations with Irrgheist !

Is there an easy way to change to the 4.04 driver and back to the default driver?

 

[elwing]

using the driver PND seems pretty easy to me...

No automated way to my knowledge (I guess you want to automaticaly switch to 4.04 before launching and going back to default after the launch).

 

[Hồng Thất Công]

The only thing is can I use the left analog nub instead of the dpad for more precision?

Other than that, what a fantastic port!  Great graphics and smooth as butter on my GHz Pandy.  Wipeout running natively on Pandora anyone?!

Nub *should* be usable as Joystick, but I haven't checked it.

Yes, but I will use the driver.pnd file, if it is not possible.

There is an option for me to select analog steering, but I can't seem to select anything.  Looks like this has to be done in code.

Did you put the Nub in "absolute" mode before launching the game? I yes, that I'll have to look at the code...

 

[Hồng Thất Công]

Ah!  Thanks!  Nub work nicely now!  

 

[ptitSeb]

Ah good.

Maybe I can add support for the leftnub & rightnub files then, to automtically change the Nubs at the loading, and restore them at exit, like with my FPS ports... (and put them to "no change" by default).

 

[Hồng Thất Công]

That would be super.

Edit:  I like using nubs for these types of games, but others may not.  So if possible, upon launching the game, an option dialog would pop up and ask the user to select his/her prefer control method whether it's dpad or nub. That would be super duper, but if it's too much work, I wouldn't bother.   Thanks for the awesome port once again

What I have in mind is a bit simpler. After first launch, you'll have 2 files in appdata/hcraft named leftnub and rightnub that contain the mode of the respective nubs. open them with mousepad and put "absolute" for Joystick mode, or "mouse"  or "mbuttons". After that, the game will (with build 02) automaticaly sets the Nub all the time, without question.

Of course, I can put some zenity dialog when the files are not present to ask for default mode (left nub as joystick or no-change)... If I'm not too lazy, I'll do that too ...

 

[Hồng Thất Công]

I am lazier than you

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Looks awesome !

 

[Klumpen]

My hovercraft is full of eels.

Thhhhhx

@Ptitseb

Maybe you can write an Email to the Devs for inserting a Pandora Picture on some of the Commercial Signs in the Game?

It will be a Honor and more Fun for us when you gaming and a Pandora Commercial Sign is in the Tracks.

(Just an Idea)
