Nox-Decomp (Nox from Westwood port)

[abstract skiff]

Not really, no

It's just blurrier with the linear scaling

Or distorted without

It's just a game meant for large, lower-resolution screens. Not for a 3.5" or whatever these little handhelds have

(Age and historically bad eyesight are not helping me here either)

Thanks for figuring this out with me

[main bobcat]

no probs

if you think I should change the default for that device let me know

[abstract skiff]

The problem I had initially was that it didn't start in 720x720. It started in a 4:3 aspect

Something in the nox.cfg, I assume

[main bobcat]

yeah possibly

in the generic linux launcher I replaced that bit...

I'll double check the .sh file and send you an updated one at some point to test from scratch if thats ok

[abstract skiff]

Yeah, that's fine

Actually, I just did a fresh install and it started in 720x720. I think I messed with the settings before playing the game and that changed the resolution the first time

I just assumed the resolutions in the settings were what the game was going to run at

[main bobcat]

yeah I should probably have a look at overriding that

at the very least I should mention it in the readme

my device is 640x480 so didn't notice these problems

@half sable maybe we should disable setting the resolution too - if NOX_GAME_WIDTH/NOX_GAME_HEIGHT is set...

[half sable]

most likely

[inland nacelle]

I'm having trouble running this on the RG52 mini running dARKOS fork for the RG52 mini. The OS has both aarch64 and aaarch32 support but uname -m only shows aarch64. there wasn't any folders for aarch64 and I'm not sure if this is what is causing the issue

[main bobcat]

there is only a 32bit version of nox for now - making a 64bit version requires a few thousand changes

thats a bit strange

are you using the beta version from above or directly from port master?

looks like you're running the version from portmaster - try the beta version posted above and let me know if you get the same thing

link to the beta version
#1458158676836876532 message

[inland nacelle]

I was using the version from portmaster website

I'll try the above though

Okay running the beta build didn't fix it. I'll look at removing the logic to have it search for the architecture and set it to just armhf. I think the script is just getting confused since the system is aarch64 but has the foreign arch for aarch32

[main bobcat]

Let me know if you sort it out

This line would normally take care of it though

https://github.com/sookyboo/nox-decomp/blob/main/dist-scripts/portmasterstart.sh#L30

[main bobcat]

I think something else is going on - don't think you would get a segfault error if it was architecture based

[main bobcat]

Did you build from source? If you did you need to cross compile it for 32bit

[inland nacelle]

No I didn't, at least not for the port, the OS is cross architecture though at least according to the dev that compiled it @kind compass with their fork. I can try to build the port from source though

[kind compass]

https://tenor.com/view/sleepy-sleep-sleeping-slumber-who-gif-20243460

[inland nacelle]

Just me trying to make sure I'm giving the correct information for support on Nox-decomp which doesn't have a aarch64 build but aarch32 with armhf support

[kind compass]

Yeah, my OS build has armfh drivers, the n64 emulator uses them. But perhaps there's a broader dArkOS compatibility issue. I am not familiar with this game/port what's it's backend?

[inland nacelle]

trying to figure out how to make it run with the currecnt script as I believe the RG52 mini should support an armhf build but I think the script is not defualting to armhf as the foreign architecture for this port and trying and failing to run it it

I'm not sure either as it's the first time I'm using this and port master normally I just use wine to run this kind of thing

[kind compass]

Ok, just bought the game lemme test

So it's a decompilation of a 32bit windows game, and so building for armfh is more straightfoward to preserve 32-bit pointer arithmetic, is that right?

[inland nacelle]

Likely what I'm guessing

[kind compass]

Just as an aside, when you @ me in a message it buzzes my phone any time of the day and wakes me up if I'm sleeping

[inland nacelle]

okay I won't at you then I don't want to wake you up

sorry for that

mine buzzes too but I sleep through just about anything

[main bobcat]

Yes

[kind compass]

Just a heads-up you have some extra stuff in your beta zip:

[main bobcat]

Yeah will be built by GitHub actions soon that one was made on my Mac

[main bobcat]

The one on port master also doesn’t work

But works on most other OSes

[kind compass]

Yeah, your github actions setup in your repo is really slick

[kind compass]

Sorry for all the noob questions, what's the story for the 3d in this game, are you using OpenGL or some shim library like gl4es or native gles?

[main bobcat]

OpenGL via sdl

[kind compass]

also have you tested dArkOS on any other rk3566 systems like the rg353v/p/m

[kind compass]

how?

We don't have desktop GL

[main bobcat]

On port master gl4es

For arm

[kind compass]

but this is a gl4es that's been compiled as armfh?

[main bobcat]

Ummm should be armhf

If you can run it with gdb what does the back trace say

[kind compass]

yeah, I reproduced the segfault, just getting my gdb setup going for armfh lemme see

[inland nacelle]

Sookyboo with the Nox-Decomp.sh file. I'm not understanding the logic in this section

1) Default: run arch follows device arch

RUN_ARCH="${DEVICE_ARCH}"

2) Remap device arch -> desired run arch

case "${RUN_ARCH}" in
aarch64|arm64|armv8*)
RUN_ARCH="armhf"
;;
armhf|armv7*|arm)
RUN_ARCH="armhf"
;;
amd64|x86_64)
RUN_ARCH="i386"
;;
x86|i686|i386)
RUN_ARCH="i386"
;;
esac

my understanding is it's not asking me to select the architecture and just running the default arch which in my case is armv8/ aarch64 with the second option is asking th euse to input the arch they want to use is this correct?

[main bobcat]

If the device architecture is 64bit turn it into the 32bit equivalent for arm and intel

Keep in mind this is already running for many many devices

So it is likely something different with darkos

[inland nacelle]

Okay just want ot make sure I was reading the script correctly. I do understand what you are saying I'm just not understanding how that script is doing that is all but that's okay. I'm not really at this level of scripting and programming myself

[main bobcat]

I think bmdhacks is having a look

[kind compass]

The launch script is fine, it's invoking the 32-bit stuff and linking to the correct libraries. The segfault is in SDL_Init. It's probably something I'm doing wrong in my build, this device has a rotated screen so I'm building a fancy SDL that rotates the screen. The good news is that running with a dummy driver sets up gles OK so it's not some terrible libmali bug.

[main bobcat]

Also other people have reported it working on darkos

#1458158676836876532 message

[kind compass]

Well, this would be dArkOS for rk3566 systems since the build is slightly different for this processor architecture.

but I have a dArkOS rg353v I can test to see...

I'm guessing it has to do with both the armfh SDL with my rotation patches, but yeah this looks like an OS bug, not your problem.

[main bobcat]

Another darkos that it was working on #1458158676836876532 message

[kind compass]

yeah, that's a different processor architecture, no worries I'll keep fiddling.

[main bobcat]

Cool

Good luck

[kind compass]

looks like a fun game I'm eager to actually play it 😁

[main bobcat]

It’s an excellent game love it

Spent months working through all the 32bit arm issues to make it work

[inland nacelle]

It is a fun game bmdhacks not as great as Diablo 2: LOD but very fun in it's own unique way

[main bobcat]

Personally I prefer it to Diablo 😄

[inland nacelle]

I'm a diablo fanboy would love to figure out how to point D2 at some point

since they made it work with D2R

[main bobcat]

I love the summoning/charming creatures and the line of sight mechanic

Also multiplayer with skilled players is very intense

[inland nacelle]

It for sure is a game that can stand on it's own. I never did pvp but did beat it with all the classes back in the day

[main bobcat]

The nox rpg discord has multiplayer games scheduled every couple of weeks

I think I only last a minute or so with those guys if you want to test your skills

[inland nacelle]

I have to paly it again first it's been far too long since I played

[main bobcat]

There’s a link to their discord in the thank you section here

If you do play in their multiplayer games - you’ll probably need a mouse

https://github.com/sookyboo/nox-decomp?tab=readme-ov-file#thanks

[kind compass]

I'm rolling a new OS release with a specific armfh fix for this game.

[main bobcat]

curious to see the change - if there is a git commit at some point

[kind compass]

Yeah when I get to a computer I'll share. Basically it was a triple combination of three issues:

1. the original odroid SDL screen rotation patch applied in the build scripts but not cleanly and it inserted some framebuffer setup code too early.
2. the dArkOS build dynamically links librga1 but only on armfh so those symbols were not statically linked and missing when the patch called on them before they were loaded.
3. something about the way nox-decomp uses SDL is slightly different than the n64 emulator.

[main bobcat]

no probs - no rush - I don't have one of these devices just curious

@jade temple did you ever finish your run through of Nox? 😄

[jade temple]

Nope

Got repetive real fast ^^

Watched the rest with a video

[main bobcat]

Hehe

I’m tempted to do that with some games too

[west linden]

waiting for the newer version to be up on PM before i really delve into playing this one

[kind compass]

Hey I'm getting this error now, just curious if you've seen this before. Otherwise I can keep digging:

[main bobcat]

Not seen this…

[kind compass]

no worries I can fiddle

[main bobcat]

Will try post it soon - been travelling for work a bit so more busy than usual - @half sable and I removed some of the graphics settings that get people in trouble and I’m planning to add an env var to allow people to directly connect to a server IP in case the lobby server is down, I’ve also set up a build pipeline so you can download the latest build after every commit in the actions tab in GitHub

Hopefully will get to it tomorrow

[main bobcat]

I’ve not had a chance to test any of the action builds yet

[main bobcat]

Can’t have a look now but maybe compare to the last problem log someone posted to see the differences

[west linden]

Is it mainly just stuff to fix for 1g devices? Cause I'll be playing on my odin2 portal. Will that matter?

[main bobcat]

Next changes will probably for making multiplayer support more robust, don’t anticipate any changes to single player or graphics

Download the latest portmaster-main in the GitHub actions, I haven’t tested if it works yet but the armhf exe is the important part

I think the libs folders might have some duplicates I need to clean up etc from the automated build

[main bobcat]

https://github.com/sookyboo/nox-decomp/actions

[kind compass]

@main bobcat this would really benefit from absolute mouse mode in gptokeyb2

oh fuck yeah you're already using gptokeyb2 this is gonna be easy

How about dpad is relative mouse and analog stick is absolute mouse?

[main bobcat]

It also has its own internal gptokeyb2 in gamepad.c

[main bobcat]

Give it a try

[main bobcat]

I tried a few things but having played it when I was young the relative felt most natural to me

I also added a radial limit so that if you pass through the centre while running it locks the mouse in a radius around the centre

[main bobcat]

I even considered making an input style selection prompt before launching the game and loading a different gptokeyb2 ini file

Something like zenity but for portmaster

[main bobcat]

Probably possible to control the character directly with one of the sticks if I dig and find where the deltas are changed

[main bobcat]

Also fixed the word selection feature in gptokeyb2 so that you can enter cheats- not sure if that build has been included in port master yet

[main bobcat]

Yeah… I couldn’t finish the later levels with absolute style

But have a play and see how it goes for you

I might just be an alien 👽

[kind compass]

well, the dpad is still relative, so you pick the style that works best

[main bobcat]

I couldn’t play with dpad

[kind compass]

ah

[main bobcat]

Dpad annoys the crap out of me for mouse 😄

[kind compass]

eh, this is your game so you get to do it how you want

[main bobcat]

Tell you what make a pull request and I’ll add your gptokeyb2 file

And people can choose

By editing the .sh file

[kind compass]

meh, nobody's gonna do that

[main bobcat]

Some people asked for it

[kind compass]

It's cool... this is all your call, do it the way you want

oh ok.. sure I'll send it to you

[main bobcat]

@obsidian isle

[kind compass]

https://github.com/sookyboo/nox-decomp/pull/11

[main bobcat]

@kind compass Can you add it to the Nintendo one too that’s the one that gets packaged with portmaster

Thanks for contributing btw

[kind compass]

done! Thank you for contributing too!

It was a good test harness for my armfh OpenGL stack. Fixed a bunch of issues.

[main bobcat]

weirdly absolute mouse doesn't work on my rg40xx h
maybe I need to update portmaster?

[kind compass]

which OS are you running?

only a very recent gptokeyb fixed it in muOS

[main bobcat]

yeah - I had to build my own gptokeyb2 to make it work in my experiments and muos goose

yep updated and seems to work now

not behaving predictably though

the centre point seems to shift (which is similar to the problems I was having)

[kind compass]

yeah, that's just sorta how the analog sticks report unfortunately

their response time is low, like 60hz so if they snap into the deadzone quickly the last report is fairly deflected

but the idea of absolute mouse is that it's more directional than precise, so if you're running around you can at least change direction quickly, or if you're a warrior you can swing your weapon in the right direction

[main bobcat]

I've merged it

but yeah maybe more expensive devices work better

my rg40xx struggles

thanks again! and thanks for putting the effort to debug your opengl stack!

[kind compass]

rg52-mini is cheaper than rg40xx 🙂

[main bobcat]

Huh not over here - looks like a nice device 👌

[kind compass]

Oh, heh, I'm in USA... where's "here" for you?

oh I guess the rg40xx-v is cheaper here too

[main bobcat]

UK

Of course these devices might be worth millions soon with the shortages

[obsidian isle]

Wow thats a game changer! A possibility to really play full game on handheld

[fading grove]

To port a diablo 2 like that would be dream come true

[agile vector]

Check out Nox and DevolutionX

[half sable]

it's been ported to a lot of things
https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionx/releases/tag/1.5.5

not diablo 2 though, that's diablo 1

[west linden]

Been stuck on this for an hour

[half sable]

that step was removed in recent versions, audio conversion is unnecessary after a fix

or maybe it wasn't actually removed from the launcher script. but it's not necessary anymore

[west linden]

Oh. Is this version on PM?

Added 2-14 uodated 2-21?

Or ahouks I be waiting til portmaster page updates again for the latest version?

[half sable]

it was fixed 10 days ago

[west linden]

Oh so gotta wait then

[half sable]

the latest versions are here. i don't know anything about portmaster https://github.com/sookyboo/nox-decomp/actions/runs/23322588793

there is a portmaster zip in this list

however, the launcher might still try to convert the audio. i'm not sure.

[west linden]

I see. I'll just wait a few days

It's allll good. Thanks!

[main bobcat]

launcher doesn't convert audio - commented the function call out, but kept the converter code in case someone needs it, will remove it in a future version

[fading grove]

Yeah thats a very big difference

[main bobcat]

I’m not porting Diablo 2 any year soon 😄

[main bobcat]

update on why the release is taking longer
so the lobby server that we use for nox-decomp multiplayer went down the other day and we don't know who runs it
so I am working on a version that will run for free hopefully on cloudflare (it is done but haven't had time to test it)
I've also added support for a different kind of lobby server that someone runs called xwis
I am planning on adding a file in the repo with a list of servers to try when a lobby server isn't found

I've removed the duplicate ffmpeg lib files in the portmaster-main builds

[visual epoch]

If Diablo 2 were ported, it would probably gain worldwide fame..^^

[main bobcat]

@kind compass by any chance do you know why the windows version of nox-decomp sdl2 seems to ignore small mouse movements on 4k hidpi displays

There are sdl2 issues with similar stuff not sure it’s actually solved thought maybe you’ve heard about this before

Nox-decomp uses relative mode

Sdl 3 may have more hidpi mouse support

[kind compass]

No I don't own any hidpi devices I'm 1440p over here 😁

I know of issues with absolute mouse where the driver only emits x or y cords on small movements and the kernel then thinks the other coord is 0

[main bobcat]

Yeah I’m mostly on Mac or Linux over here too

[kind compass]

gptokeyb2 has a thing where it emits last coordinate +- 1 so that the kernel thinks the mouse always moved.

[main bobcat]

Yeah I’ve seen that

Hmmm

Freaking windows so much extra stuff I need to do to support it

[kind compass]

Yeah ive never used windows. I tried once back in like 1998 but I gave up when I realized I was just sshing into my linux devices to do any work.

[main bobcat]

Yeah I can’t more than a couple of hours of windows these days myself

Doesn’t feel like I own the device

My computer and my documents

Feels more like someone’s computer and someone’s documents

Oh wait that was windows 98

[kind compass]

NT4

[main bobcat]

Os/2

[kind compass]

That was a bit before my time

[main bobcat]

In my time we were lucky to have 4 colours on screens

Now these windows machines and their 4ks

[obsidian isle]

Try Win 10 ltsc iot version, it works great and almost everything useless is removed by microsoft itself

I have offline account on it also

[main bobcat]

thanks for suggestion - my windows days are pretty rare

I think in the last 10 years

I've tested nox-decomp

[obsidian isle]

I like using it due to portable apps etc

[main bobcat]

and played horizon zero dawn because it wasn't working on my steam deck

can't really remember another time I've used my old windows laptop

but good to know there is a lighter windows out there

[obsidian isle]

Yeah its made for Atm machines etc mostly, but works great for gaming too

[main bobcat]

if when I open a terminal its not bash/zsh (and I know WSL2 exists) I don't feel at home

https://tenor.com/view/jeff-goldblum-jggifs-independenceday-gif-5028306

feels like that

[obsidian isle]

This one I am talking about https://archive.org/details/en-us_windows_10_iot_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64_dvd_257ad90f_202301

[main bobcat]

is there a win11 version of that too?

[obsidian isle]

Yeah but I prefer staying on Win10

All new games and drivers work flawlessly

Btw I guess Titan quest would work great too in portmaster but there is only android port, no opensource

[west linden]

I noticed the gane still wasn't updated with today's port releases from the github to the website

[main bobcat]

yeah I am still trying to fix things sorry

[kind compass]

hey what if I added a hotkey to enable absolute mouse?

so you could toggle it back and forth... not exactly the most usable thing, but powerful

[main bobcat]

If you can find a hot key 😄
I’ve used pretty much everything already

[kind compass]

hey can you explain that radial patch you added? is it to fix the radius of the abosolute mouse and just take a direction?

and then there's a key input part of it for like a pie menu?

[main bobcat]

Radial limit?

[kind compass]

https://github.com/PortsMaster/gptokeyb2/compare/master...sookyboo:gptokeyb2:radial

[main bobcat]

I was trying to figure out why absolute mode was broken by implementing my own

Never managed to make it work

Always had inconsistency of the centre point

I’ve been working on sending the direction directly to the player’s character in the game independently of the mouse

I’ve managed to control the direction

But the speed is still controlled by the distance of the mouse to the player

But I’m close to figuring out where that happens in the disassembly

I’ll send you a link to the commit in a couple of days

[west linden]

Oic

[main bobcat]

I’ve tested the latest build in my repo and it works if you’re eager to play

The portmaster-main.zip on this page

https://github.com/sookyboo/nox-decomp/actions/runs/23454148582

[west linden]

I'm fine to wait til it drops. Evoland has my attention right now anywayd hahs

[main bobcat]

Still working through some networking stuff and looking at new controller modes

[main bobcat]

is it possible in gptokeyb2 ini language to toggle between absolute mouse?
I found a candidate set of keys to change (the gamma ones don't work)
I'd like to follow the gptokeyb2 syntax if its possible to toggle rather than inventing my own

do you just not clear it?

[kind compass]

I think you just swap in an overlay

I can provide an example when I get out of bed

[main bobcat]

sorry for disrupting your sleep

[kind compass]

Naw im awake. Too excited about my mac loader to sleep

[main bobcat]

I know the feeling

[main bobcat]

@kind compass I've figured out the in game absolute mouse behaviour
just need to add the toggle now

is there a game you know that does toggles?

[main bobcat]

I guess can be done with set_state

[main bobcat]

@kind compass @obsidian isle

I’ve added absolute mode

This is the latest build

I’ve not had a chance to test this exact version but should work

To activate absolute mode press start + R1 to go back to mouse mode start + L1

Download portmaster-main

This build stops using gptokeyb2 and uses the internal gamepad stuff 😬 bit worried about breaking controllers let’s see how devices do

https://github.com/sookyboo/nox-decomp/actions/runs/23511781199

[obsidian isle]

Ok, so I just update it in portmaster. Will test and report

[main bobcat]

@obsidian isle you may need to log in to github to download

[main bobcat]

cool ta

[obsidian isle]

Hmm so to see the download button in this link I need to log in? On releases section there is older ver

https://github.com/sookyboo/nox-decomp/actions/runs/23511781199

[main bobcat]

Yes needs login

[obsidian isle]

In portmaster itself also old ver

[main bobcat]

Yes portmaster has an old version - will update it when we confirm enough devices are happy with the new controls

[abstract skiff]

Getting a black screen and then exits to ES on the latest version using dArkOS. This is the output trying to run the script over ssh:

Nox data not extracted
Extracting Nox data...
Extraction may take up to 10-60min
Extraction failed```

[jade saddle]

it's weird that's a function of portmaster and works for me on dArkOS in general, does bind_directories work for you on a ready to run port like VVVVV? what device, and where did you get dArkOS?

[abstract skiff]

This is on the RGB30. I got dArkOS from the github repo for it

Is bind_directories something that comes with Portmaster?

[jade saddle]

yeah it's a problem with that os or the install of portmaster doesn't recognize it somehow and it's not sourcing the controlfolder functions properly

https://github.com/PortsMaster/PortMaster-GUI/blob/baf4930433e30262f93b4fd701bfcdff61c038c3/PortMaster/funcs.txt#L43

if you got it from here that's weird, but this is an OS issue more than a nox issue https://github.com/christianhaitian/dArkOS/releases

[abstract skiff]

Was this a new addition to this version? I was able to run the prior release

[jade saddle]

bind_directories has been around since before i heard of portmaster

[abstract skiff]

But was it used in the previous versions of the port?

[jade saddle]

the repo has bind_directories for nox from last month too

[abstract skiff]

I just installed VVVVVV and it runs

[jade saddle]

ok, then the sh somehow must be broken, you may be right, sorry that i hopped in here with general knowledge and awareness overall that the port worked, but there could be a regression with a fresh sh here afterall

[abstract skiff]

I just dropped the sh from an older release in and it started

[main bobcat]

I have recently removed gptokeyb2...

maybe that caused it

just released a new version like an hour ago

https://github.com/sookyboo/nox-decomp/releases/tag/v0.9.3-rc1

let me test it on my device

@abstract skiff version above seems to work on mine - could you send your log.txt file

[main bobcat]

did you maybe download the linux-armhf version rather than the portmaster version?

this is the best file to download at the moment

https://github.com/sookyboo/nox-decomp/releases/download/v0.9.3-rc1/portmaster-v0.9.3-rc1.zip

[abstract skiff]

I probably did. The fact that it ran at all is interesting, though

Yes, running the correct version does in-fact allow things to work correctly. I am now able to show the weird video wrapping I saw on the previous version

[main bobcat]

port master is linux 😄
just missing a few utils and shell scripts
same binary

[main bobcat]

this is the first run - how did we fix it the last time?

[abstract skiff]

I was messing with the resolution settings in the script and the configs

[main bobcat]

@half sable and I removed the resolution settings screen to prevent this 😄 but its still happening

[abstract skiff]

I mean, the way I got it to stop last time was by messing with the resolution settings

Those settings at least stop it from changing to the wrong resolution

[main bobcat]

ah yeah - I think we set it to 640x640 for your device?

maybe I should add an exception specifically for your device

can you send me the export lines at the top of your log file

[abstract skiff]

I'm not seeing 'export' lines. Did you mean the 'declare' lines?

[main bobcat]

ah yes

those

[main bobcat]

@abstract skiff can you try replace your .sh file with this for me pls

https://gist.github.com/sookyboo/061e02bd4b0fbdc7f74689608be1e028

[abstract skiff]

Game launches. No edge artifacts

[main bobcat]

cool I'll commit that then

done - all future versions should be fine now

if you have a github account you can download the build from here in like 40 min but it will be identical to what you have now

[main bobcat]

@tall rock did you have the same problem and it is fixed now - only fixed for RGB30?

[inland nacelle]

bmdhacks the changes you made to the RG52 mini OS is now allowing this game to run

[west linden]

When is this gonna be prd to PM?

[main bobcat]

I’d like a few more people to test the latest release candidate and report back that it works because I’ve completely changed the way input works but I’ve been busy

[undone ridge]

Yup the radial thing feels much better to control!
35xxH/MuOS

[main bobcat]

Have you tried the other modes

START + L1 for mouse mode or START + R1 for absolute mode or START + R1 + R2 for absolute mode with inverted run button

[undone ridge]

Not yet just used the default

[undone ridge]

Can’t seem to toggle on MuOS

[main bobcat]

using the latest release candidate on github?

https://github.com/sookyboo/nox-decomp/releases/download/v0.9.3-rc1/portmaster-v0.9.3-rc1.zip

[main bobcat]

sha of the zip should be sha256:7ff0c03be470afb679382575d81daa73c79301842102097e3b9632317152ec2a

[undone ridge]

haha then i didn't use the latest

my bad

[main bobcat]

ah I think you're using

from the github actions?

[undone ridge]

yupyup that is right

[main bobcat]

yeah should be working

and I use muos too...

[undone ridge]

it can switch the mode within the game right?

i'm on a 35xxH

[main bobcat]

yeah

it lets you use the left thumbstick to directly control chatacter

in particular start + r1 + r2 is the most noticable difference

[undone ridge]

yea it works now

i don't really notice too much between START + L1 for mouse mode or START + R1 for absolute mode

[main bobcat]

Yeah l1 it still feels like a mouse so slower to do a 180 degree turn

R1 you can do a 180 immediately but still need to press the run button

R1 + R2 can do a 180 without pressing run

And run turns it back into a mouse

Personally I like L1 the most

[undone ridge]

haha yea feels more old school

[main bobcat]

Exactly! Feels like the original game

[undone ridge]

although takes getting used too compared to the M+KB

[main bobcat]

Yep

[main bobcat]

I've raised a PR

https://github.com/PortsMaster/PortMaster-New/pull/2375

[main bobcat]

nox is on sale on gog for $1.39 for 10 hours if anyone is interested

[main bobcat]

@sharp path @scarlet osprey

raised a PR for the nox-decomp update

seems to run everywhere

if there are issues with controls on specific devices can fix as people report problems but so far all devices that have been tried seem to be working as expected so I don't really see any reason to delay merging longer

[west linden]

Awesome!

Excited to play this game in its entirety

[main bobcat]

Excited for you to play it in its entirety too 😄

[sharp path]

nice PR! Just commented one change thats needed!

[main bobcat]

Thanks @sharp path

Good work on animal crossing btw I’ll try it at some point

Game already exits with start + select

[sharp path]

No problemo! I also replied with my concerns, I can and cant suggest playing Animal Crossing currently, still needs a lot of bug fixes

[main bobcat]

No probs no rush from me I can wait

[main bobcat]

Replied let me know

[main bobcat]

@sharp path please have a look and let me know if you agree with comments or not

I’m away for most of the day

Have a nice day

[main bobcat]

@sharp path and @scarlet osprey thanks for merging the PR!

Worst case people complain if there are any issues and we fix it

Have a nice day

[main bobcat]

@west linden should be available now!

[west linden]

Not yet!

Oh yea it is now!

[main bobcat]

Ah yeah sorry forgot that someone needs to make a release

[west linden]

It's there!

[main bobcat]

Nice
