Various games with Kaillera control problems

[dangonzilla]

Hi,

These are the problems :

• WWF WrestleFest (World) (wwfwfest) and clones : 2nd, 3rd and 4th controller don't work correctly in Kaillera.

• The Combatribes (US, rev 2, set 1) (ctribe) and clones : 3rd controller doesn't work correctly in Kaillera.

• WWF Superstars (Europe) (wwfsstar) and clones : Playing online in Kaillera the screen is shown upside down. The screen is shown like this :

Can you fix them?

Thank you very much!

Hi,
Progress so-far:
wwfwfest: fixed
ctribe, fixed

[dinkc64]

I can't reproduce(see) the problem with wwfsstar, could you try this:
before loading Kaillera
load wwfsstar on your side and your opponent's, then go to dips and click [Defaults] then [Ok]
then quit the game, and start kaillera and see if it still happens?

Hi,

WWF WrestleFest : The 2nd controller is now working in Kaillera and if we do a reset with F3 key 3rd and 4th controls also work fine in Kaillera.

The Combatribes : 3rd controller is working fine now in Kaillera.

WWF Superstars : It still loads the game upside down in Kaillera but if we do a reset with F3 key the game shows the image correctly but this game desynchronizes when playing online (each player see different things when playing)

Thank you!

I think we should leave this open, I would like to try to fix the remaining problems!
To clarify, you need to reset with F3 before the other 2 controllers work with WWF WrestleFest (World) (wwfwfest)?

wwfsuperstars is working fine on my side, so a little more info is required:
Can you tell me which kaillera client you're using, and zip and post the dll here or link me to where you got it?

thanks,

Hi,

• WWF WrestleFest : If I play offline (without Kaillera) all the controls work perfectly. If I play online in Kaillera server the credits are added in thirds (1/3, 2/3, ...). And the 3rd and 4th player can't start the game until I reset the game :

If I press F3 key for resetting the game, then the credits appear in the normal way (1, 2, 3...) and the 3rd and 4th can play at that moment in Kaillera and the problem doesn't happen anymore :

• WWF Superstars : If I play offline (without Kaillera) the game shows the image correctly. If I play online in the Kaillera server the image is shown upside down. If I reset the game in Kaillera the image is shown correctly.

Some few games in Kaillera desynchronize when playing online (example : WWF Superstars). We use Open Kaillera Client updated to the 2023 year, the most used for people who play online. I attach you a zip with that Kaillera client :

kailleraclient-2023.zip

Thank you!

Hi dangonzilla,
I made some fixes to the Kaillera support, please test the 2 games again and see if they have improved. :)

Hi @dinkc64 ,

• WWF WrestleFest : It works perfectly now, the credits load in the normal way (1 by 1) and the 3rd and 4th player controls work without doing a game reset.

• WWF Superstars : The image loads correctly in Kaillera online now but the game still desynchronizes but it doesn't matter since it only happens with this game. Don't worry about fixing this desynchrorization because it's better to only have one game that desynchronizes than affecting other games online.

Thank you very much!

@dangonzilla thanks for testing :)
Something is weird if it's desynching, I will try to fix it. Can you tell me how far into the game must be played until a desync is noticed?

@dinkc64 , with the latest version changes from today June 20th WWF Superstars when playing online in Kaillera still desynchronizes but if we do a reset with F3 key then the game DOES NOT DESYNCHRONIZE anymore in Kaillera and it's perfectly playable online!! :) :)

Thank you very much!!!

@dangonzilla that's great news!

When kaillera first connects, it randomly returns bad inputs for a few seconds. I don't know why.. :/
I have to come up with a better way to ensure reliability with kaillera. It affects all games, but, wwfsstars is very sensitive, and that results in a desync.

Hi @dangonzilla,
I made a slight correction to the connection sync code for Kaillera, please give it a try and see if wwfsstars will desync without a reset :)

p.s. make sure all friends in the kaillera party have the latest exe for this one

Hi @dinkc64 ,

Incredible! You did it! The game doesn't desynchronize when playing online anymore and we don't need to do a reset in wwfsstars in Kaillera :)

If we find other games desynchronizing in kaillera we would tell you.

Thank you very much!

thanks :) glad it works!!
