I think limiting it to joypad play is incredibly silly.
The fact that your joypad converts analogue to digital makes no difference to the game - at my end the program is tweaked to respond well to analogue steering, be it a joypad or a steering wheel. A straight conversion to keyboard controls just didn't feel right - I know this as I had it working with the keyboard originally and it was overly twitchy and more irritating than fun. In the end I decided to get a good feel with the controls most people play racing games with, namely analogue steering wheels or joysticks/pads.
Why not just add it and stop all the complaints?
I released the demo because a few people wanted to try the game out - I'm not interested in constantly tweaking it and releasing new demos because some people don't have a pad or wheel - as I've said before, I'll try the keyboard thing again, but when I get around to it.
Also removing the mipmapping makes it look like it was made in DBC.
How very helpful of you to point that out. If you read the thread completely you'll see it was removed to attempt to solve the MAV error, and I am currently waiting on a new DLL from Cygnus so it can be added back in again.
but being dumped at the start every time you fall off the edge is a bit of a git
Again, if you read the complete thread you'll note that I said there was no checkpoint system in the demo track, due to the placement of checkpoint markers not being implemented in the editor yet.
You should stick the original track into the next demo.
Which original track do you mean? One from the original SCR, or from Hard Drivin? I think adding the orginal SCR tracks would be pretty cool, not sure how to get the Drawbridge moving though.
where does the screenshot wind up? Or is that not working yet?
Yep it does work, but was it F11 or F12? I can't remember, but it saves a series of numbered bmps into the root SCR_Demo folder - you can grab as many screenies as you want per-session and it'll increment the filename number for you.
