Discussion: Rygar AGA Edition

[Arnie]

For crying out loud.

Slap me with a kipper and call me dopey.

Thanks D.

Edit. I know this disk is for a hardware test but... using WinUAE.

It works O.K with ks3.0 but, using ks3.1 it crashes with garbled sprite sheets every time I attempt to move right.
Can anyone tell me whitch button you use to jump? Oh and pressing LMB quits back to the dos screen. Is it supposed to do that ?

Works fine with my KS3.1 rom... in fact, that it what I use to develop it.
Please don't expect too much from the disk images, I'm amazed it even worked with very little effort on my real A1200.

[Arnie]

No problem.
It's a really great effort on your part.
Can't wait to play the finished version.

I've seen this happen in WinUAE also if using a Quickstart A1200 and a KS ROM v3.1 (A1200)...

...not sure why, but to get it working without issue change "Chipset Extra" from "A1200" to "Generic":

For "Port 2", are you using "Keyboard Layout B"?

If so, then jump is the 2nd fire button i.e. <Right Shift>

[mcgeezer]

By the way... there's another disk image coming in the next hour..

You'll be able to see levels 1-5 with it.

And then that's it until after xmas...

[DamienD]

Awesome

[mcgeezer]

Here we are... the loader is pretty much done - massive thanks to @ross as I used his Ocean Loader.

Having the loader means I can load levels from the floppy after each round. When Rygar reaches the temple scene the next map and background are loaded from disk.

A real weight off my mind that, can't thank Ross enough...so guys give your thanks to him also.

Please note, I know there are bugs... it's just part of the development process... generally I video them.

Going to watch the boxing now and enjoy xmas... next update probs in the new year when we'll have some enemies to kill.

I'm not that familiar with the original arcade but I have to say this looks absolutely phenomenal so far.

[ross]

It's an honor to help for this wonderful project

Nice progress here. Looks really good! Now I'm waiting for the famous Ocean Loader Tune!

I did a quick check of the latest ADF in WinUAE, but probably I don't have correct configuration (I used a A1200/Blizzard1260/128MB config). Sound is missing and Rygar always freezes shortly before the first tree.

BTW, is joystick-up used in the game? If not, can we please get it for jumping? It would make the game much more controllable, like in classic Amiga games.

You just need a stock a1200 config, 2mb chip ram withno add-ons.
There’s no sound in there yet and the plan is to make the buttons configurable.

The problems is how to make the player jump but also do the circular disk armor attack, it needs a fair amount of tuning.

[DanyPPC]

But the game support 2 buttons, yesterday tested on WinUAE in A1200 config and it plays very well.

I think Rygar can easily be played with this 1 button configuration:

Up for jump

Press fire for regular attack

Press and hold fire, then Up for circular disk armor attack

[mcgeezer]

I'd be interested in more feedback on the two button config.

Having thought about it I'm inclined to keep it at two buttons only, anything else will detract the game play... but I'm open to be convinced to make it configurable.

[Solo Kazuki]

True, many games has messed gameplay by making it to 1 button joys. One of worst cases is Ninja Gaiden II - completely unplayable due stupid steering.

Bad think about Amiga games was that most games are "forced" for 1 button joys. That's why WHDLoad team made many games for more buttons, and in most cases it makes games more playable.

[jeff b00toNic]

I'd keep the two button config!

Essential if you want arcade gameplay.

Look at other conversions like Bad Dudes, almost unplayable!

You definitely need to keep this as a 2 button game; not 1 button.

[Retro-Nerd]

Two Button is the original game play. So, it has to stay. I can't stand JoyUp for 99% of all games anymore. I use it only for games which needs accurate and fast diagonals, e.g. Sensible Soccer.
