Hi Zener,

Bug Report : PAD CD32
Strange Behavior on Buttons

The properties of PRESS / RELEASE on buttons [Red] / [Blue] / [Yellow] / [Green], they're not restore position correctly.

If i replace INPUT FIRE 1 for INPUT CD32 [Red], the behavior of button doesn't react in the same way.
And yet, I just replace the fire 1 button with the RED button.

[Zener]

Great video! Is that an intro or some stage of the game?

I had a review the CD32 buttons, and it is the same in the logical side. What I will do for the next version is that pressing fire will also trigger the red button. Would that solve the issue you are facing?

Yes, it's a stage of the game.
Too bad we can not have more than 4 colors for the background image.

This is the case for all CD32 buttons.
Yes, it will solve the issus if you can to do on all CD32 buttons.

In the future version, can we use the live audio CD playback function like the CD32 does?
Is it technically possible in RedPill?

v0.7.4
-CD32 red button now activates fire1 button.

Doesn't work. Same behavior

Example :
Map collisions: Actived
Physics: Actived
CD32 RED Pressed Player 1 | Set Speed Y -8

When i press CD32 RED button, Player 1 continues to climb.
Normaly, Player 1 should go down once arrived at -8 because physics actived.
if physics no actived, Player 1 should go stay once arrived at -8.

All Buttons CD32 react like Keep action button :
When i Keep CD32 RED button, Player 1 continues to climb.

Conclusion: Buttons CD32 do not respond to actions PRESS / KEEP / REALESED / NOT PRESS correctly.

[Zener]

When you set up the speed to -8 anytime it will -8 until you set it back to 0. It doesn't seem related to cd32 buttons. You can try to set speed y to 0 when the button is Released

Yes, i agree.
The bug is not Speed but the behavior of CD32 Button.

I replace Input UP by CD32 Red and the result is not the same behavior.
Because CD32 Buttons not working like Pressed but like Keep

In Guardian, Player 1 jump with Input UP, i replace Input UP by Button CD32 Red. The player jumps all the time if I keep the button pressed.
Normaly, player 1 jumps one time.

Player 1 jumps well 1 time when I use Input Up.
But if I replace Input Up with CD32 Red, player 1 always jumps until I release the button.

/\ Confirmed. CD32 Red Pressed acts as Keep. And CD32 Red Released doesn't work at all. It also seems that Green, Yellow, Red and Blue are all on the same button (Fire2)?

Anyway, thanks for fixing Camera follow. I also found some issues:

-All objects in my project that had icon number -1, have now changed to 255. It doesn't seem to affect the game but if I would want to change the icon it would take a lot of mouse clicks.

-In my game, the "Next" button is now behind the scoreboard and not visible. Has something changed in the layer order?
-The red object changes in to blue in level 2 or after restarting level 1 from scoreboard.

I haven't been able to fix the last two issues yet.

[Zener]

I think I know what is happening, fixing the different behavior soon

All buttons on Fire 2 AFAIK happens in all CD32 games, but maybe there is some way to avoid it, I will think about it.

You can use Green, Yellow, Red, Blue, Reverse, Forward and Play buttons inb RedPill.
It's their behavior that is not correct !

GREAT

Can we use the live audio CD playback function like the CD32 does?

[Zener]

CD playback, everything is possible

I don't know how I am going to test it, but I will add it

The cd32 buttons are not correct, only keep is working ok. An improvement is coming soon

Hi Zener,

Did you manage to play a cd audio track, if Yes, How did you do ?
When i add PlayCD32 0 or 1,2,... : no Play CD, no sound.

CD32 buttons input triggers not fixed : Pressed not work correctly.
They work like Keep and Pressed at the same time.
Example : When Guardian fire, Normally he can shoot 3 max bullets display on the screen.
While he shoots 3 bullets at the same time like with Keep.

Behavior with CD32 button :



Behavior with Fire button :

[Lemming880]

I fixed the next button and red object so I finally upgraded to 0.7.5. And the floppy light staying on happens a lot less now. I even had a full play through without it happening. But it still happens and it's random. It can happen at the start of a level or after reloading a level. And it can stop after reloading a level again.

I found a small issue with exporting. When you add a music file or sound file then you can't remove it again. And these unused sounds are also added to the export folder. I can just delete them from the adf. But the solution is to be able to remove music and sound files from the audio menu.

[Zener]

PlayCD32 only works on a CD32, if you use UAE you will need the CD32 roms to test it.

Anyway there was an error and the CD started to play after exiting the game.

Behavior with CD32 button [Animated GIF]
I think the red and fire button works at the same time.
From where the result when we change the fire button by red button.
Same behavior for fire 2 button and blue button.
