Summary04478: Random shots while running
DescriptionAt 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 ReproduceJust 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 InformationI tried with the previous slave, no problem.

okay, which version? ECS, AGA or CD32? (I know that the information is set above, but not everyone sets it properly)

For a two levels I tested AGA version and everything seems to be fine. I used QuickShot QS-130F.

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.

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 :-/

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.

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 ^^

changed joypad read location. This should fix the issue. Reopen if it's not.
