Release Quake2 With Nub Control

I know we're wildly off topic, but I'm laughing out loud here.

nubs lead to coasters
coasters lead to cigarettes
cigarettes lead to morons
morons lead to camels
camels lead to the dark side!

But the dark side has a smooth, easy smoking flavour, that causes less irritation than the light side.

LOL, It's a good thing Pandora didn't have a _camel by mascot!

Pickle for Guru Status anyone???

Definitely.

It would be a sin for him not to be. Well deserved me thinks

The Pickle speaks words of wisdom. He shall be my guru, even if not appointed.

Besides, loving all the ports and whatnot

Very nice I have a few questions now that it's possible to play and test it:

1: How much 'travel' is there? Meaning, is there plenty of push before the analog reaches it's maximum 'tilt' or in this case push? Reason I ask is to see how hard or easy it is to get the amount of push you want when moving or looking around in a fps.

2: Adding a deadzone via software is great, but it also reduces the amount of travel distance. Is it too sensitive that it needs a pretty big deadzone, or?

And one request: Please make the deadzone's user configurable, because some people prefer higher or lower sensitivity ranges a simple cvar for the quake's would be great.

 

[Pickle]

a simple cvar for the quake's would be great.

1. Well it can vary, q2 has sensitivity built in, so I could make it more or less sensitive from within the game. I did scale down the value to make more sense. I needed relative movement so instead of a value of 100, i would divide by 10 giving me a movement of 10. It wasnt moving enough in game, so I just bumped up the sensivity in quake2 and it was better.
2. I didnt want to have to do this, but if i didnt the motion wouldnt stop. I set the cutoff at 5 (i think this is before the downscaling, so its really not large at all). This could be made setable by cvar/command line var.

I think I will be happy with the Pandora controls for 3D Shooters. I always wanted to play such games with a combo of D-Pad (left) and A-Pad (right) so there is some kind of WASD + Mouse feeling, the L+R Triggers are for Shooting and maybe jumping. I think weapon Switch is good for the numbers but also for ABXY or the second A-Pad... ^_^

Ok, NOW I want my Pandora very badly!

P.S.: now we need some reports, how good the (DaveC approved) D-Pad really is, maybe some 2D fighting Games here and there or Mario and Sonic or Metroid...everything with critical movements and milisecond-timing for the controls. Something, where my old GP2X F100 failed completely.

^ Craig is trying to accommodate heaps of requests in his new video (working title: Gone With The Wind II) so hopefully we see a heap of stuff like that!

Pickle, nelated thanks for this - I love the Quake games and having them use the actual nubs for movement sounds great

 

[HaCo]

Would like to see a racegame on the pandora, with these controls...

 

[borgqueenx]

thats a pretty nice video. thanks pickle!
Seems like its pretty easy to simulate a mouselook with the pandora

Looks great. I think the noob control will be very helpful for quake nubs like me

Maybe I've missed something, but is there a reason not to play Quake with sound?

 

[borgqueenx]

Maybe I've missed something, but is there a reason not to play Quake with sound?

im also wondering that. not that the sound matters, but the music of quake 2...it rocks

It works fine....

ah that makes sense. because if you put that music on, you want to make it louder every second

For some reason, I'm always surprised when people on the boards mention their children - for some reason I always felt that Pickle was some teenage/early 20s computer whiz who ported all these programs in his parents' basement. Maybe I only feel that way because I'm 18 and a CS concentrator in college...

i sometimes have that feeling as well.
But thats mainly because i dont see my parents playing games and programming old games and apps to other devices the whole day.

its just that i cant imagine a guy over 30 years old playing games.
(not saying that you are 30 years +)

Pickle got his own hobby's, just like anyone else.
And i like his hobby's^^.
