Heh actually I was aiming at the "less" part

Hey, this is cool. Worth of an Apogee Central news update, I'd say!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Well?

I was wondering if it would be possible to provide the cd image file for download too on top of the regular download already available at the on-line store.

Sounds cool Joe. I might actually purchase it since I've only played like the first level of ROTT and never knew what the hell it was about anyway other than it was a FPS [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I have a DC mouse. It works, but crappy as hell. Forget it. Play it with the gamepad or keyboard only.
Maybe the KallisiOS mouse drivers are bad, i havn't tried the mouse with other ports until yet. Or just the ported ROTT code isn't clean.
But hey, thats the first try. Others will follow.
It is fullscreen and has a great sound with the GUS patches. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

I thought mouse support sucked in the original anyways...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Here's a hack just to get the feeling of how it is to have free mouse look in ROTT. It's far from perfect because the speed of the up/down look is static, and because everything is hard coded.


rt_playr.c
cvs version 1.8
add at line 2357:

//added by jabbaDUDE to get free mouse look
{
const long inverse_mouse = 1; //set to -1 if you don't want inverse mouse look

MY *= inverse_mouse;

if( MY > 0 ) {
buttonpoll[bt_lookup]=1;
}
else if( MY lt 0 ) {
buttonpoll[bt_lookdown]=1;
}

MY = 0; //prevent the mousemovement to move the player
MX *= 5; //mouse x sensitivity (mouse y sensitivity is set in _rt_play.h #define YZTILTSPEED number (line 26))
}
//END (added by jabbaDUDE to get free mouse look)

NOTE: replace 'lt' with <


Additionally you must prevent the 'snapback'.

_rt_play.h
cvs version 1.1.1.1
change at line 27:
#define SNAPBACKSPEED 0

Cool! If I had my shit together I'd be compiling that and trying it out. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Joe: Will the new ROTT cd include the site license levels?

just wanted to remind you if you forgot about them [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

[Joe Siegler]

Oh come on - do you think I need to be reminded of that? [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

The game is the site license version -we haven't shipped the "Standard" ROTT CD in a couple of years now.

New version of Dreamcast ROTT out.
Now with support of all versions, need to be tested. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

[CYBDMN]

Tested it with Deluxe Edition.
Best thing, now with excellent mouse support.
Much better than win32 port and even the original DOS ROTT.
So guys, go buy a copy of ROTT, and a DC. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

[Theseus314]

I kinda hope some form of multiplayer is ported accross.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">

bero has released a new version of Rise of the Triad DC, here's what's new:


REGISTERED/SUPERCD/SITELICENCE run on single binary (not tested)

disk swap support

full button support. L/R trigger for strafe, UP/DOWN for look,etc

better mouse support. wheel etc.

Binary, source & Nero/DJ images downloadeds can be found in bero's ROTTDC section. Check out this forum topic for more ROTTDC info.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Cool, I wonder if the L & R triggers and D pad buttons can be re-configurable so strafing can be on the face buttons and L&R could be fire/ open and ect ?...

I'll have to download and try it out with the Shareware later.
