HCraft crash

@kas1e

Go for it 😉 and probably best to attach in the update notes the suggested joypad control settings.

Tested with a Logitech F-310, Xeox SL6556 and 8bitdo SFC-30 pads

I was lucky enough to somehow make one of my gamepads works, and I see what you mean: yeah, on the first look its a bit unlogical, that you can't set Axis for the non-analog actions, but if you thinking more about its right :)

At the top you have 3 entries :

Analog Steering
Analog Acceleration
Analog Brake

The first one "Analog Steering", mean left/right action. If you choose there "left" on your gamepad, then "left and right" in the game to control hover will work as expected. If you choose there "right", then "left/right" in the game will be swapped. So there when you set up controller's actions you press "left".

Now "Analog Acceleration" it's for "up" (but you can not use it of course), and "Analog Break" is for "down" (which you also can no use).

Next, you just choice buttons for pure "accelerate" (which you will use to accelerate actually, as it will be easier than with "up" while you pressing "left/right". And then for a break, pause, view mode, and co).

And in end all pretty good. You can use brake/accelerate from both, and via "up/down" and via buttons, just how you feel it better (for me better accelerate by button, but brake by "down")

Just sure, the first entry "Analog steering" a bit confusing as it choice left/right at the same time, but its probably logical in terms of all those controller devices :)

So yeah probably that need to be noted in the readme of update.

With this info is it easier to set up now Analog one too?

@Kas1e

Yes your suggestion has worked a treat and the Analog stick now works It makes a big difference to the gameplay too!!

Thanks for that!

@kas1e

just tried running HCraft and unlike the new SuperTuxKart I get an immediate crash at startup....sent over the stack trace and crash log to you just now

@328gts

Did you read the thread or did just come and post at the very end without reading all that has been written ?

@Kas1e

It's ok witth the debug3 version ! Thanks !

@K-L

guilty but 'someone' hi-jacked my SuperTuxKart thread so now we're even

@K-L
Oh, that good! Thanks for tests! With SuperTuxKart you have no single crash, even if you play a lot, right?

@328gts
Yeah, as K-L says just try:
http://kas1e.mikendezign.com/aos4/gl4 ... /hcraft/hcraft_debug3.zip

That one has it fixed and also has joystick support.


@all
Will update os4depot with new version today

@328gts

Hey, I'm not the one who hijacked your thread

@kas1e

indeed working great with debug version and very fun game!

@ K-L

I know but we're all friends here so a toast to all for a happy 2020

@All
Uploaded new version of HCraft to os4depot (in upload query):

-- enabled joystick support (see notes above)
-- get rid of -lunix and replaced all remain paths on amigaos4 native ones
-- fixed to make it works on public versions of dos.library

@Skateman

Added to the readme that part so hopefully it will clear things:

As that thread is already about everything, can you check also new NeverBall and Foobillard, I remember you say that never ball works from HDD on x1000 somehow strange, and Foobillard also wasn't very fluid. With new versions, at least Foobillard should be fluid, and maybe NeverBall is ok too now?

@kas1

Foobillard : no problema at all.

Neverball : same problem : jerky (less than before) but even in RAM: it is jerky (whatever resolution I choose or whatver display option I try).

@K-L
Thanks! So the remaining problem from all those ports its to understand why on x1000 there issues with Neverball.

@All
PS4 Controller work in H-craft with usb cable. good work

@kas1e

I wonder...did you ever try to compile Barony without the newlib workaround and check if update2 newlib fixed it?

@kas1e

Just tested Neverball on my X1000. Jerkiness persists. Odd because Neverputt runs fine.

@Raziel
Nope, didn't try as the workaround works fine enough. Or you mean just to check if newlib deals with? But sure it deals with, as previous, i tested it exactly on the beta of newlib, and making workaround only for public versions

@ddni
I didn't touched neverball since, but if someone can sold me x1000, i will be happy to test it more :)

@kas1e

Quote:
Yes, exactly that.

Thank you for confirming

LOL, yes I will sell you my X1000 for One Million Dollars :)

The Neverball jerkiness is very odd, the framerate looks good, just a very regular hitching every half second. This hitching is not seen on Neverball 1.5.4

@ddni

I just downloaded the two games and quickly tested the first level.

I don't see any jerkiness (default settings), window, cpu is at 95%

Do you use any special settings?

@Raziel

I tried with all bells and whisltes on & off, lower resolution, full screen/window. All had the hitching.

I will try a reinstall.

Edit: Delete all and reinstall, jerkiness fixed. :)
