I love everything about this game. I've never seen it before, but I'm calling it love at first sight.
I don't own the game but just might have to have it. Soon ...

[silent wraith]

Will test this when I am able to!

Didn’t know about the steam calllouts

[shut grail]

steam callout is very easy to deactivate, but obviously a no-go

[silent wraith]

No go unless permission granted

[silent wraith]

patching failed

[hexed birch]

So the Steam version won't work? That explains why it didn't work when I tried to port it.

[shut grail]

okay! so muos is gonna be like that, haha
i've adapted it to work on muos now

[shut grail]

nope, afriad not -- steam version would require patching out the steam bits, which requires creator permission

[shut grail]

there was a bunch of patching stuff i had to do to the itch.io version, too (audio, and display positioning stuff) -- but that doesn't involve disabling any phone-home/steam-type stuff

✅ 35xxh, MUOS

controls are swapped though like x = a??

you might want kdog's tool

#crew-talk message

[shut grail]

@ancient saffron any idea why my button swap won't work?

[ancient saffron]

Now I do this I think

# Functions BEGIN
swapabxy() {
    # Update SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG to swap a/b and x/y button

    SDL_swap_gpbuttons.py -i "$SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG_FILE" -o "$GAMEDIR/gamecontrollerdb_swapped.txt" -l "$GAMEDIR/SDL_swap_gpbuttons.txt"
    export SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG_FILE="$GAMEDIR/gamecontrollerdb_swapped.txt"

    export SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG="`echo "$SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG" | SDL_swap_gpbuttons.py -l "$GAMEDIR/SDL_swap_gpbuttons.txt"`"
}
# Functions END

to check I would

echo $SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG_FILE
echo $SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG

swapabxy

echo $SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG_FILE
echo $SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG

and look in the logs

if it's swapped, then maybe it has been double swapped ? 😄

[shut grail]

thanks, that did the trick

[ancient saffron]

Cool

This reminds me that I need to update this in my ports

[shut grail]

update:

• added k-dog's key switcheroo script so that buttons aren't switched
• updated patch so instructions match controller buttons (not keyboard keys)

[silent wraith]

✅ RGBO30/arkos. Fills up the whole screen but still looks pretty good

button swap works but it is so weird to select with Y haha

[shut grail]

thanks! yeah, game devs choice. these shmupper types are a bit mad 😜

[silent wraith]

btw for the files just the data.win and audiogroups are needed

[shut grail]

thanks. patch script will sort that out --

process_game() {
    # Delete unnecessary files
    rm -f $DATADIR/*.{dll,exe}
    rm -r $DATADIR/\$*

[shut grail]

note: ready for p.r after a hi-res test

[silent wraith]

✅ RP5 mini/rocknix

[steep sun]

and also on x55

fuck, I was too slow! 😛

due to stretching it looks very good on 320p screen
