Re: PC SWOS online (++ beta)

Original SWOS command line switches:

/h - use EGA graphics mode (actually disabled by SWOS++)
/f - don t use EGA graphics mode
/n - allocate less memory (4mb version I believe)

Command line parsing is at cseg:1adbf


SWOS++ additional command line switches:

/s game name - go directly to multiplayer lobby, and host a game called
game name
/c game name - search for a game name game name , and if found try to connect
to it automatically
/t number - set timeout for game search (/c paremeter), it is given in
seconds, range is 5 to 60 seconds, if ommited default timeout
of 30 seconds will be used
/i file name - name of info file that will be used by SWOS++ to write various
events and informations and about the game
/p nickname - set player nickname to what is given; it is only used for
current session and does not interfere with normal options; if
ommited saved nickname from multiplayer options will be used

Parameters follow directly after switches, no spaces, If a string parameter
contains spaces, place it in quotes.
If /s or /c with game name was given game will try to go directly into
multiplayer lobby as server or client.


Examples:

C:\SWOS swos /s DRAGONS LAIR
C:\SWOS swos /c FINAL DESTINATION /t15
C:\SWOS swos /cARGMAGEDDON /t25 /p LONE WOLF /iout.txt

The controller is working finally with fire button!

Although in calibration, (same as before, as I didn t mention it in the first place) when holding down top/left, two values were 24 which is fine and then to bottom/right - the values are changing wildly constantly and the same goes for centering. If I do it every time, they are always different.

However, when playing in the game, the controller seemed ok. Will try it out on online match.

I suppose there s no way to increase the resolution in swos, no? Just play in the full-screen mode?

Thanks

Please check if controller works with normal, plain SWOS 96/97 in dosbox, without SWOS++ extension.
Need to find the error reason.

You could also try some other dos game with your controllers.
