New patch?

epmode · 03-19-2012, 01:58 PM

I see that the readme now talks about using VesselKeys.ini to alter the key configuration but the file doesn't exist anywhere on my computer.

Also: The x360ce pad emulator is still not working.

Was there a real patch or did Steam just hiccup or something? That readme file has a last modified date of March 19th so I figure I'm not going crazy!

I have seen a new button on the pause menu but dont know what it is. Its called: "Cheat: Jump to a level" but i cant click on it. I dont know if that was added but could be.

Strange i can only see the: (Cheat: jump to level) button after i clicked on the options button and then press: Esc.
Is this a bug or something?

Some games seem to do that. Push out a patch with nothing in the steam news feed or a change log of anything.
With any luck the details will appear eventually, whether on steam, in a forum post, the stange loop blog, etc.

edit:
There we go, it was just a matter of time.

the game creates the directx device after the xinput device which causes it to use directx on comon class devices

it has been my experience that any time you allow both controls to be supported without providing a ui to select between them, the directinput device will be favoured.

I hope someone from the development team sees that!

Patch notes were posted:

Vessel v1.06
- Added a keyconfig option. Open 'keyconfig.ini' in the Vessel folder using a text editor to customize the keys.
- Fixed a problem with the ending not displaying the correct result (an important asset could go missing in certain circumstances)
- Removed some exploits for getting extra protoplasm
- Fixed a crash in the orchard level at the end of chapter 2 when loading a save game
- Fixed an exploit on the first orchard puzzle
- Added a missing wall allowing an exploit in factory chaser puzzle
- Altered a factory puzzle that was too easy if you got the chaser seed then backtracked.
- Fixed a wall you could fall through off a ladder in factory
- Fixed an elevator not working well if you recall from the top in factory
- Can no longer grab the big tree
- Can no longer grab seed jar bubbles out of the samplers
- Damage screen was showing at bad times
- Player emotes during intro now when door closes
- 'Finishing the Accelerator' journal entry now appears even if you don't go up and look at the chalkboard immediately.
- Fixed a crash in the factory when using seeds by the spinning fan puzzle

Even though the notes mention keyconfig.ini, I still can't find it anywhere. I've tried running the game with and without x360ce installed.

I too am unable to find a keyconfig.ini file.

I saw another patch get applied tonight.
I'll wait 2 days for the change log to appear on the news page :P

I think that was the VesselKeys.ini, was previously not available.

epmode · 03-22-2012, 05:46 PM

Yeah, I now have VesselKeys.ini.

And from what I can tell, the file is only good for remapping stuff on a keyboard, not a controller.

Yep VesselKeys.ini will let you map keys, we're still working on the controls not working right on some gamepads and that will be in a future patch (need to start collecting controllers to test as many as we can).

The cheat codes were accidentally checked in by default, and I'm patching them right now, so get all your cheating in before the next patch...

just for those who don't know already, vessel is now fully working with x360ce
