note ~0014075

casper30 (reporter)

There are many other issues, and the backspace is especially noticeable.

note ~0014076

casper30 (reporter)

There is also a problem with the cursor key. So I'm replacing it with the number key in fsuae. Other than that, there seem to be some bugs.

note ~0014077

casper30 (reporter)

If you press all four cursor keys at once, you will know the results.
you'll see something weird.

note ~0014078

casper30 (reporter)

Maybe the backspace key is a problem, but of course there are other problems

note ~0014088

casper30 (reporter)

I think the backspace key is the problem. No matter how hard I try key mapping, the symptoms appear.

note ~0014089

casper30 (reporter)

Is it possible to get rid of the backspace key and replace it with another key? For example, delete key. Again, not with key mapping.

note ~0014090

casper30 (reporter)

Enter key and space key are mapped, but backspace key is not mapped. It looks like you need to erase backspace key in the game. I want you to fix the enter key and space key, too. Of course, backspace key.

note ~0014091

casper30 (reporter)

In the adf file, all play normally except for arrow keys.

note ~0014092

casper30 (reporter)

Please read the above words carefully

note ~0014093

casper30 (reporter)

Every play, of course, may have minor bugs

note ~0014096

casper30 (reporter)

Could you please work on mapping the backspace key?

note ~0014102

casper30 (reporter)

In winuae, the sound of music is fast

note ~0014103

DJ Mike (developer)

I'm starting to look at this and will probably build a new patch.

I can hear that the music plays too fast, so that's on my list.

The actual arrow keys/keyboard controls not working is a bad implementation of keyboard handling. It seems that the game only remembers/registers the last key you pressed - e.g. if you move right then press up to jump, the game forgets you were going right! So my guess it only tracks one key at a time rather than registering individual key down/up events (which is essential if keyboard control is ever going to work). I will know once I examine further.

However from the above it sounds like you're changing the arrow keys to map to a controller anyway. I don't use FS-UAE (only WinUAE) so I can't comment on that specifically. If I find something odd in the game, when all directions are pressed at once, then I'll fix it if I can, but some of this sounds like emulator quirks.

Please leave it with me. There is no need to continually raise bug reports/additional messages now. If I have anything further to report I will let you know.

note ~0014104

casper30 (reporter)

Have you read my article carefully? Now I want to map "backspace" to a different key, but I can't do it on my own. Please help.

note ~0014105

DJ Mike (developer)

I don't use FS-UAE so I don't know specifically how you map keys in it. I would suggest asking on the EAB forum or Lemon Amiga forum how you map keys. This isn't anything to do with WHDLoad, so this is not the right place for this.

note ~0014106

casper30 (reporter)

And I also use winuae, but there's a point where the sound is fast.

note ~0014107

casper30 (reporter)

Whether it's fsuae or winuae, the game itself seems to have a problem.

note ~0014108

casper30 (reporter)

There's a problem with the game itself, so it's better to fix it accordingly. And I think it's better to fix the "backspace key" itself on the game itself as well. And please read my comments carefully. It will make sense.

Beta test version of v1.2 now available - see EAB thread here: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=1711903

Hopefully resolves the issues you've been having.

note ~0014126

casper30 (reporter)

I'm having trouble just using the keyboard.

The keyboard controls, as coded, really don't work well in this game - pressing a key cancels out the one you are already holding, so you cannot do things like run right and jump. On real hardware such as A1200, keyboard controls such as this are problematic anyway, so I don't know that it is worth fixing those any further.

You should use a controller (or configure keys mapped to a controller if using an emulator).

<The Jump compilation release is also now supported>

What do you mean?

note ~0014129

DJ Mike (developer)

There are two versions of the game: "Jump" is a compilation released later with multiple games, including Nicky 2. This version is slightly different from the original. See here: https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/jump

note ~0014131

casper30 (reporter)

Is the keyboard version not accurate? Please make it clear.

note ~0014132

DJ Mike (developer)

The keyboard controls don't work properly - even if the game is played from disk/ADF. I haven't changed anything with those.

note ~0014133

casper30 (reporter)

Nicky II (1993) (Microids) [composition Jump] This works, but when you press four arrow keys, strange things pop up.

note ~0014134

DJ Mike (developer)

Yes, and that is fixed in my WHDLoad install update.

note ~0014135

casper30 (reporter)

Is the keyboard still unresolved? One tip is that it works well if you use the number key. Maybe because I'm greedy, I want to do it in the number key and also in the arrow key.

note ~0014136

DJ Mike (developer)

The number keys are WinUAE/FS-UAE controller emulation and work fine.

Pressing all four arrow keys will no longer make strange things appear.

Pressing backspace should no longer cause the level to look strange when starting.

note ~0014137

casper30 (reporter)

When is the official version coming out?

note ~0014138

DJ Mike (developer)

It is now released. :)

I have also fixed the arrow key controls so they should work properly.

note ~0014139

DJ Mike (developer)

Version 1.2 now released that should fix this issue.
