Hurrican-RPi - scriptmodule update.

Edit 2021-12-12: branch joystick_pause has been promoted to master. Start (and other) buttons now autodetected with SDL_GameController API, no more "determining button values" or manually editing source files. Just install through the scriptmodule and you should be all set! Please update your script:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/s1eve-mcdichae1/Hurrican-RPi/main/hurrican.sh -P /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/

Updates to the repo with bug fixes and ~~preliminary~~ gamepad menu support.

Improvements:

Gamepad menu support: pause and exit the game without a keyboard.

Fixed:

Gamepad pause/menu button is hardcoded. Edit file Hurrican/src/DX8Joystick.cpp line 172, or use keyboard ESC key.
Incorrect display of gamepad button names in tutorial level.
Game crashes in tutorial level (memory buffer boundary error caused by above).
--pathsave param nonfunctional.

@sleve_mcdichael nicely done.
great work on getting the key mapping figured out

@exarkuniv Thanks allot! got it all to work now

Hi @ExarKunIv,
I tried some more of the srips on your Repo, and wanted to give some more feedback. There is not much to say, because so far everything worked flawlessly. I tried Shadowwarrior (excellent and almost fluent in 1080p) xash32 (works well with the posted config changes in 720p) . It's so good to see HL and it's expansions Blue Shift and Opposiong Force in their old glory on the big screen! Thanks a lot!

In fact I will change over all my other source ports to your scrips, as keeping them up to date is a lot easier that way. Next I'll probably try OpenJK JA and JO. Do you know the state JO is in? I have heard a lot of times that it's not very finished.

I will soon try out Hexen2. You have a GL and an RPI version, right? Does it make any difference? THe scripts are almost identical from what I gathered?

Dou you think buliding a script for re3 (Grand Theft Auto 3) is possible? It looks quite complicated though...

Also there is Exult, which was - IIRC - quite easy to install and would make a great addition...

yes for the most part they are the same. just in mine im using the GL binary that is made. and the RPI version is not GL. to me they look the same but i only played a few minutes of it to make sure it works.

Dou you think buliding a script for re3 (Grand Theft Auto 3) is possible? It looks quite complicated though...

i would give it a try, but it is taken down off of github. so i will have to hunt it down. i think that Pikiss might have the binary. just not sure if it is going against rules since it has a DCMA take-down notice against it now

Im more then willing to take a look at it.

i am working on a few more new ports so ill add it to the list

I've encountered an issue with Hexen II. I'm unable to get the CD-music playing, even after following these steps: http://uhexen2.sourceforge.net/music.html

I've placed the corresponding OGG's in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/hexen2/data1/music/ but they're not being picked-up.

Any help is much appreciated!

PS. When I type "music casb3" in the console, the track actually plays, so it's in the right place. Could this be a compiler error?

is very well can be, not sure what might be causeing it. ill see if any of the devs on the site might be able to point out the problem

boolean

@exarkuniv I'm very curious what's causing this. Normally I'm able to resolve most issues myself, but this time it's beyond me why it isn't working. TIA!

ExarKunIv

@boolean i just updated my script.
i have music going for mine.
i have my music as ogg. and i saw i was missing the library for ogg
and in the settings you make sure its changed to use all codecs

boolean

@exarkuniv So I just have to fetch the updated script and rebuild it from source? That would be awesome!

EDIT: I noticed that you've updated Hexen2-RPI, but I was using Hexen2-GL-RPi (for RPi4). Would you be so kind to fix that script as well?

ExarKunIv

@boolean yeah. i kinda forgot that i had 2. sorry.
its updated now.

mth75

For me, the must have port would be Thimbleweek Park

ExarKunIv

if someone where to release the source for it. we could give it a shot. but since that is a more modern game.

your best chance is to use steam link or something like that.

boolean

@exarkuniv Thanks for updating it (and the time and effort you've put in all of this)! Have you tried it yourself after recompiling it? On my end it still doesn't play music. When set it to "all codecs" I hear a faint ticking/popping sound in the background during gameplay.

I've put the OGG files beneath in "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/hexen2/data1/music/".

casb3.ogg
casb2.ogg
casb1.ogg
roma3.ogg
roma2.ogg
roma1.ogg
meso3.ogg
meso2.ogg
meso1.ogg
egyp3.ogg
egyp2.ogg
egyp1.ogg
casa4.ogg
casa3.ogg
casa2.ogg
casa1.ogg

PS. When I write down "music casb3.ogg" in the console, it actually plays the track, but it also did that before I've recompiled it with your altered script.

ExarKunIv

@boolean odd.
yes i did try it before i responded back to you. i have a test card that i just wipe and start over when im working on things.

i have my music in
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/hexen2/data1/music

casa4.ogg
casa3.ogg
casa2.ogg
casa1.ogg
casb3.ogg
casb2.ogg
casb1.ogg
egyp3.ogg
egyp2.ogg
egyp1.ogg
meso3.ogg
meso2.ogg
meso1.ogg
roma3.ogg
roma2.ogg
roma1.ogg

mine is in a different order but that dont matter. and i just checked to make sure i was hearing the music right since i have not gone past the first level. but it is playing casa1.ogg on the first level.

i did find out that the portals/music is not playing, but the music from hexen2.

Not sure if you can do this, but if you have a spare card. do a clean load. update retropie and try hexen2 again with nothing else installed. maybe you have a conflict with something else.
