Hacking Outrun 2006
Howard_Casto:
Yeah we are getting there.
I squashed the bugs in the course editor tonight.... or at least I think I did.... I'll have to race through the entire course to make sure, so I'll do that later, but it looked ok going through the first few stages anyway. I also went ahead and added a function to swap back the course in the event of a hard exit (alt+f4 or a front end killing things).
The course editor will have to be modified.... Originally I had it "install" the courses directly and permanently, but now that the wrapper can swap them out, it makes sense to just add them to a folder in fxtcfg and allow management of all the custom stages via an ini.... In other words adding and removing of the stages is done via list management instead of the user moving files around. It shouldn't be terribly hard to do this, it'll just take some time.
I probably need to take the opportunity to squash some bugs before release as well. I know splash wave will sometimes fall silent in alt track mode and the radio graphic will popup in certain 2k6 menus that it shouldn't..... those two things should be easy enough to sort out.
MotownC:
Love seeing these middle of the night posts from Howard. Watching this with keen interest. Thanks for all the great work!
Howard_Casto:
AFAICT I've tracked down and squashed the music and cd player graphic bugs. It's early, so I might work some more later.
Howard_Casto:
Spring is kicking my butt... I might be a little sick, thus the lack of any real updates. I'm working on things again though.... perhaps a new vid soon.
Howard_Casto:
Wrote the code to cleanly (memory changes only) swap Holly's MIX 1 with the unused MIX 2 only to discover that the path strings are write protected. This means I'll have to physically swap files, like I do for 2SP mode, which sucks because c2c mode oddly doesn't re-read courses upon entering a girl's c2c menu... only after returning from a race.
Translation: Implementation of the unused course will be sloppy, but still doable.
The rest of the stuff is done for the most part.... I've just got to do a slight overhaul of the course editor to reflect the new modes and implementations.
