Okay, solved this one, the fix will be in the next release on the weekend. Current release is (2.5.37) so the one after that.
Contrary to my suspicions nothing to do with the controller (though the bug was easier to replicate while using one)
When selecting a mission, it was possible to accidentally load the mission twice. Causing all sorts of crazy problems, one of which was spinning.
Thanks for reporting the bug. :)
Okay, I just experienced this. Turns out the whole controller support is bugged...
For me this occurs when you have a controller/peripheral hooked up to your computer even if you're not using it.
I think it's probably a problem with the controller switch system (the system that switches between keyboard/mouse and the controller).
Now I know what it is, I should be able to squash it.
Thanks, I've made a bug report, and I'll look into it. If I find a solution I'll reply to this thread.
Currently no leg wrangling (or ground vehicles). But you can load terrain and snowspeeders by making a custom mission in the mission editor.
Unfortunately no multiplayer is planned. It's really just a sandbox for custom single player missions.
Joysticks will be supported at some point.
Great question. Probably in the future. But the aim is to make a relatively stable and polished game first. And then think about the bells and whistles.
Hey, thanks for sharing the bug. Is the game generating a bug report screen? If so I'd love to see what it says. Also does this happen on every mission or just one?
Also, A-D spin the ship so make sure you're not accidently pressing those keys. Alternatively, if you have a controller/joystick hooked up to your computer it may be detecting their input.
The ship will also spin before it blows up. So it could be a damage issue.
It's designed for mouse and keyboard. You can also use an X-Box controller. Though the controller code needs some more code to make it a smooth experience. It hasn't been tested with joysticks. Also, it's in heavy development, so expect some infelicities.
Looks great. Would love to see further development.
Thanks! It's updated pretty regularly on Github. But not much here on indieDB.
Yeah it was. I probably could have more accurately written: The Starfighter becomes an Original Trilogy based game. The main difference is that Open Galaxy is explicitly a star wars game, and looks like a star wars game. Whereas the starfighter wasn't explicitly a star wars game and didn't look like one (unless you were super familiar with KOTOR).
Hey, great idea, you can already walk around the interior of a number of ships (mostly just hangar bays at the moment). I don't think there would be anything stopping us building a ship with a millennium falcon like interior, just patience! So we'll see.
Yeah, I like it, there's a lot more development to do after this version and it will start looking a lot more star warsy, so maybe if things go well I sneak 'star wars' back into the title. ;)
Ah ha, yes, but given Lucasfilm's ambiguous relationship with fan games in the past I thought I'd underplay that fact.
