Summary

0004478: Random shots while running

Description

At first, many thanks for this update as Chaos Engine is one of my favorite game on Amiga and a major one I think.
But there is a little bug in this salve : After shooting several ennemies (and used a lot fire 1, I suppose), then your character shot randomly one or twice time whhen you take a new direction. It's really disturbing as the main character stop while shooting.

Steps To Reproduce

Just launch the game, kill, kill, kill, then try to run on every direction. Sometimes you will see the character shoot one or two time

Additional Information

I tried with the previous slave, no problem.

note ~0008123 ixien (reporter) 2020-04-13 17:05	ECS, yes :-)

note ~0008124 haynor666 (reporter) 2020-04-13 19:17	For a two levels I tested AGA version and everything seems to be fine. I used QuickShot QS-130F.

note ~0008125 JOTD (developer) 2020-04-13 19:48	the joypad read is maybe too frequent. It can create bugs like this. I didn't reproduce it on winuae, but I'm going to change some code.

note ~0008126 ixien (reporter) 2020-04-13 20:37	I made some tests. On WinUAE, no problem using keyboard layouts (only 2 buttons emulated). On my CDTV, I made tests playing with the original IR remote (and that's really difficult, be sure :-D) and other 1 or 2 button controllers, no problem. But as I play using an official CD32 controller, the problem appears :-/

note ~0008127 JOTD (developer) 2020-04-13 22:41 Last edited: 2020-04-13 22:42 View 2 revisions	yes, because the controller is detected as such, and special button reading code is performed in that case. I promise I'm going to fix this! Note that you can use "CD32 joypad" setting for keyboard in winuae too.

note ~0008135 ixien (reporter) 2020-04-14 09:09	> Note that you can use "CD32 joypad" setting for keyboard in winuae too. Whaooo, I'm using WinUAE since 15 years and I never opened this rolling menu, you can also emulate CDTV remote, analog joystick and even lightguns! I feel so stupid ^^

note ~0008195 JOTD (developer) 2020-04-16 00:16	changed joypad read location. This should fix the issue. Reopen if it's not.
