Possible Hypseus Cliff Hanger Control issue

roslof

@DirtBagXon I was going to file a bug at your repo, but before I do, wanted to check with you first. I'm using a Dual Shock 4 controller and noticed a while back that Cliff Hanger's "Foot" button stopped working for me. It was historically mapped to the DS4 "X" button (AKA "1" in hypinput.ini speak).

What I believe is that Cliff has always been a weird one. The arcade cabinet had no real "START" button. "Hand" and "Foot" where the only buttons and "Foot" was used to start the game.

You'll note that the START button can actually be used for "Foot" which is correct behavior, but historically in Daphne and the earlier years of Hypseus, KEY_BUTTON2 could also be used for "Foot". LALT works fine, as mapped by default.

After banging my head for a bit, determined that this will not work:
KEY_BUTTON2 = SDLK_LALT 1 1
Again, this should map to the blue X button on the DS4 controller, but pressing the button yields no response. I can confirm "1 1" does not exist for any other item and is unique to this line when tested.

But oddly, the following works and maps correctly to the red Circle button on the DS4 controller
KEY_BUTTON2 = SDLK_LALT 1 2

I cannot, under any circumstance use "1" as a value here, but only for Cliff Hanger. I suspect it may have to do with its unique configuration and some historic change to Hypseus.

Hope this isn't a false alarm, but I'm fairly confident there is an issue here.

Cheers!

Heya @roslof ,

I can't replicate this, I can set XBox360 'A' button (checked in hypjsch as 001) in Joystick API Config: hypinput.ini:

KEY_BUTTON2 = SDLK_LALT   0   1

Works fine.

I can set the 'A' button in the Game Controller API config: hypinput_gamepad.ini

KEY_BUTTON2 = SDLK_LALT  0   BUTTON_A      0     0

Works fine.

You are correct Cliff is weird and START acts as BUTTON2 as seen in the source: https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus-singe/blob/master/src/game/cliff.cpp#L526 - as FEET with BUTTON1 acting as HANDS

You are aware of the config file change that occurred in 2.11.5. As per the release notes:

The default config file for -gamepad has changed to hypinput_gamepad.ini
Ensure you copy any existing config for Gamepads to the new file location.
If the config file does not exist, a new default keymap file will be generated.
This location can be overridden, as previously, with the -keymapfile argument.

But from the way you explained your config, it seems you don't use -gamepad and are using the old Joystick API config. But in any case both seem to work fine on current source tree.

For the record the 'X' button on my XBox360 Controller is detected as 003 via hypjsch

So I doubled checked that against the Joystick API config:

KEY_BUTTON2 = SDLK_LALT 0 3

And again 'X' was FEET and played fine.
