The new Cheats tab exposes the engine's own cheat handlers as buttons:
give all items and weapons, toggle physics, next level and previous
level. Physics shows its state through the button highlight. The buttons
need a running game and show a message otherwise.
It also has four independent session-only switches for unlimited health,
energy, ammo and items (grenades and drugs). While a switch is on, its
resource is topped up every frame by qs_cheat_refill() from the new
engine patch 26. The switches are not saved to the config.
Add a player_controls config group that maps game actions to controller
inputs, and a Controller Options menu tab to rebind them in-headset.
- 45 actions: movement, click/double-click, jump, fire, and the engine's own
keyboard hotkeys (posture, save/load, weapon/MFD select, etc.), sent to the
engine as synthetic key events. Cheat and dead hotkeys are not exposed.
- Press-to-capture rebinding with per-input exclusivity, Reset to Defaults
(built-in defaults, then questshock.config.default.json), and new defaults:
left stick moves/strafes, right stick turns.
- Controller profiles for Touch, Vive and generic OpenXR
(res/controller_profiles/), matched to the active interaction profile at
runtime, with a fatal dialog if a profile's bindings are rejected at
startup.
- The menu's thumbstick locomotion is disabled while the Controller Options
tab is open or a capture is active. A scrollable list with a tap-to-jump
scroll bar handles the long action list.
- Opening the menu pauses a running game and resumes it on close.
- Reset Position now keeps the player's facing instead of turning the screen
to the current gaze.
- Play the intro video in the game's language (engine patch 23), falling back
to English.
- Watchdog and shared-key handling for stuck movement keys, plus key-edge
logging.
- Video Options tab offers width and distance presets independently for
the Initial Screen (splash/intro/menu) and Game Screen (gameplay)
profiles, with their preset step/offset configurable via
questshock.config.json.
- Ships res/questshock.config.default.json as the initial config on
first run (or whenever questshock.config.json doesn't exist yet),
refreshed from the APK on every launch without touching a user's own
saved config.
- Left thumbstick snap-turns, right thumbstick smooth-moves, letting the
player line themselves up with the fixed game quad ("virtual screen")
without needing physical room-scale space to do it in. Implemented via
a second OpenXR reference space (a "play space") derived from the real
LOCAL space by the inverse of the player's transform, so every existing
quad/hit-testing/rendering call site just needed g_local_space swapped
for it - no manual coordinate-transform math required elsewhere
- Generalized the ray/quad hit-testing in xr_input.c to a proper
oriented-plane intersection (needed once quads can rotate); verified it
degenerates to the old axis-aligned formula when unrotated, so the
keyboard and non-recentered menu are unaffected
- The menu launcher now re-centers in front of the player, correctly
oriented to face them, each time it's freshly reopened
- "Reset Position" (Main Menu tab) recenters using the player's current
real head pose - not a plain reset-to-origin, which only undid
thumbstick movement and ignored physical drift since the session
started. The same recenter runs once automatically at startup too, as a
fallback for when there's no complete saved position to use instead
- Position/orientation persists in questshock.config.json's new
player_position group (independent of savegames), including new
numeric-value support in the config file's hand-rolled JSON parser
(previously string-enums only)
- New "Language" row on the Main Menu tab (English/French/German),
backed by a new "general" group in questshock.config.json
- Fixes a device-reproduced crash: switching language used to call
language_dealfunc(), whose render_run()/opanel_redraw() repaint
assumes the game's own in-game options panel is on screen - crashes
(SIGSEGV) when triggered from our independent VR overlay instead.
Now calls language_change() directly, which is all that's actually
needed to reload resources and refresh the inventory/MFD/side-icon UI
- Fixes a second crash: this data set ships frnstrng.res/gerstrng.res
but not mfdfrn.res/mfdger.res, and language_change() closes the
current resource files before discovering the new ones don't exist -
leaving no valid resource file open and crashing on the next lookup.
Now checks both files exist before ever switching, refusing the
change (with an in-headset popup) instead of corrupting resource state
- extract_assets.sh can now also pull mfdfrn.res/mfdger.res out of a
System Shock: Classic installer (which includes them, unlike Enhanced
Edition) if one is present in res/assets/ - entirely optional
- Documented all of the above in README.md/CONFIG.md
- Header with title, git-tag-derived version, and a live FPS/frame-time/
CPU/GPU-utilization/free-memory stats ribbon below the tab bar (FPS via
a new per-frame tracker in xr_session.c; CPU/GPU via the OpenXR
XR_META_performance_metrics extension, gracefully unavailable on
runtimes that don't support it)
- Bottom tab bar with a live-editable Video Options tab (renderer/
resolution), applying changes immediately via qs_config.c
- Hover and press feedback on every menu/keyboard button via a
StateListDrawable (Android's default ripple never animates on this
permanently unattached view tree), with a lighter default button color
for visibility
- i18n for all menu/keyboard chrome text, following the game's own
language setting (Strings.java)
- The main menu is now draggable via its header, matching the keyboard;
xr_input.c's drag handling is generalized to per-overlay state instead
of being keyboard-only
- The keyboard's title bar now matches the menu header's style
Stale GL_UNPACK state in gl4es and a missing pre-release GPU sync
caused diagonal-banded corruption in the 3D view. Synthetic key
press/release must track the real controller button or touch down/up
edges, not fire together in one call - fixes a typed movement key
sticking forever, then a follow-up that had silently broken A-button
jump and on-screen keyboard arrow keys. Also adds force-rebuild.sh for
the known stageEngine stale-cache issue.
Expand the on-screen keyboard to a full US layout (letters, digits,
punctuation, Shift layer, Tab, arrows, F1-F12, one-shot Ctrl/Alt
modifiers), make it a persistent, movable, closeable panel via a
title-bar drag handle, and lower its opacity.
Previously the keyboard was just a second panel swapped into the same
quad as the menu launcher, which made the launcher translucent too and
made the keyboard and menu mutually exclusive. Extract the shared
swapchain/JNI/touch-dispatch plumbing into two generic, reusable
modules - xr_swapchain.c (swapchain + per-image FBO setup) and
xr_overlay.c (an off-screen Android View rendered into its own OpenXR
quad, hit-tested via a laser pointer) - and make the menu launcher and
keyboard two independent XrOverlay instances instead of one. The
controller's menu button now only opens/closes the launcher; the
launcher's "Keyboard" button only opens the keyboard - so the keyboard
can stay up while picking something from the menu, and only the
keyboard's own Close button hides it.
xr_menu.c/.h are gone, fully absorbed into xr_overlay.c. On the Java
side, OverlayPanel.java carries the shared off-screen-render/touch/
cursor plumbing that MenuOverlay and the new KeyboardOverlay both
subclass.
MenuOverlay's key grid forwards every press to the game as real input:
non-printable keys (Esc/Enter/Backspace) as an SDLActivity.onNativeKeyDown()/
onNativeKeyUp() pair, and printable keys (letters, Space) as a synthesized
SDL_TEXTINPUT event pushed directly from native code, since the engine's
pump_events() only picks up printable ASCII from that event type, not from
SDL_KEYDOWN. Confirmed on-device, including that Space now correctly skips
the intro cutscene alongside Esc/Enter.
