Weekly Recap

Sorry guys, my new office is still WIP so cannot make video this week.

However here is a write up of the weekly progress.

Let's get started.

Dirty Drivin Supported

Thanks to Coffeeman again, his Raw Thrills updates are always welcome.

Tekken 7 Fated Retribution Upgrades

https://github.com/teknogods/OpenParrot/blob/master/OpenParrot/src/Functions/Games/ES3X/TER.cpp

Finally we have Bob and Master Raven unlocked, there was a mistake in my fixes where I did returned FALSE instead of TRUE on authtype. True makes game offline and this way unlocks the characters.

LAN fixes are still work in progress but are advancing, hopefully soon you will be able to play with your friends locally or via VPN (Hamachi or similar)

Wiki and TeknoParrotUi game profile updates

https://teknogods.github.io/ 

https://github.com/teknogods/TeknoParrotUI/commits/master

Thanks to RuFo_ThE_oNe who has been updating our wiki and game profiles to be more accurate. Cool!

TeknoParrotUi Improvements

- Instead of MessageBox on saving and such we have small little popup now instead. Making the use of TeknoParrotUi faster.

- Also when you click saved, you are automatically taken back and no need to press Back anymore. Cool!

- Custom commandline arguments for advanced users. Now you can set your own command line arguments from the XML if you want to execute some special things.

Star Wars Battle Pod Updates

https://github.com/teknogods/OpenParrot/blob/master/OpenParrot/src/Functions/Games/ES3X/StarWars.cpp 

Recently we added support Star Wars Battle Pod to OpenParrot (Open Source)

Fixes on this release has also been done such as:

- File save relocation, what is this now?

It used to write data on F and G drives if present as Namco ES3X uses these drives for save data. If you did not have these drives, it would not save any changes. This is now handled and files are saved in OpenParrot\f and OpenParrot\g.

- Dome Fix by Ducon2016

This is very welcome fix, the game is now 2D instead of Curved 3D.

- Window topmost

The Launcher window is no longer top of all windows.

- Mouse cursor hiding

There is now option to hide or unhide your mouse cursor. As by default the game would hide your cursor

- Window minimizing

The game would minimize all windows on launch, this has been removed.

- FreePlay toggle

Game can now be set on FreePlay from the TeknoParrotUi.

- Fix Camera Error

Camera Error can be disabled from UI now.

-  Fix Control bugs

There was dual input control bug present for a while but it has now been fixed.

GRID Updates

GRID no longer has buggy/delayed controls, it works perfectly now.

Namco ES3X Loader added

- With this loader it is possible to start games such as Star Wars Battle Pod, Time Crisis 5, Lost Island Adventures and more.

Mario Kart DX custom resolution

Nezarn is on the roll again and pushed resolution changer. 

You just need MKDX_ShaderResolution_fix.7z from our discord and set CustomResolution from TeknoParrotUi.

This way you can even play on 4K or 8K resolution, wow!

Open sourcing TeknoParrotCore

Open sourcing TeknoParrot is under way, we are cleaning code and getting it ready for release.

That's it for the last week, see you next week :-)
