Hi Jorio !

Thanks a bunch for fixing it for Big Endian, it works ! Through, i see that in all the menus , and "help" phrases, everything is like too much blue. See on the video:

But in others as you can see on video everything fine. Thanks a bunch !

The Steam Deck has controller input. The remastered version of Otto Matic is integrated with controller support that works greatly. The Steam Deck however has lots of shoulder buttons and grip buttons that aren't used for anything in the game. How can the game be modified to take the input of those buttons for actions like the starting on any level dialog, or the full health cheat? How would you be able to find out what input codes those extra buttons have?

Recently I acquired an iMac G4 and to my excitement I discovered it had Otto Matic 1.0 bundled with it, the original Aspyr-published version! But there was an even more exciting discovery that solved an issue I have had with Otto Matic when I played it as a kid.

Some background: When you start on Planet Knarr, you will happen upon a crunch door on the way toward the first zip line. There is one problem though: it is the smooth side, i.e. the side without the rivets, which cannot be activated with Otto's supernova. This crunch door guards a singular room with a Brain Alien and a powerup pod inside. Nothing special. The only way I have managed to get in was to somehow jump-jet on top of a Mutant Robot, then jump-jet from his head onto a crashed flying saucer, then jump-jet over the crunch door. It's a tedious, exploit-y process that reaps little-to-no reward, so I often just ignore it.

I have only ever played later versions of the game so the purpose of this room was always unknown to me. But when playing 1.0, I happened upon a remarkable discovery: in the very last area where your rocket is waiting, there is a teleporter off to the side. This teleporter is very odd, as there appears to be a zipline handle embedded in the ground inside the teleporter. I thought maybe it was just something Brian Greenstone accidentally left there and never got around to cleaning it up. So I decided to give it a Supernova to see if it would turn on, and it did! I walked through it and it brought me to that previously-inaccessible room at the beginning of the level. Interestingly, the Teleporter in this room had a zipline post in the middle. What's going on here? I tried to get screenshots, but Mac OS X 10.1 "Puma" wouldn't take screenshots during gameplay. Only when I got on the rocket and left did it finally do it, which left me with screenshots of the sky.

It seems that in a later version of the game Brian had removed the teleporters for unknown reasons. The darkened, shadowy area where the teleporter stood still remains, though. Is it possible to reimplement them? I've attached an edited version of the map from the strategy guide to show you where these teleporters were.

When I try to zip up a compiled modification of the game, it seems to report an error that there are many missing .ddl files, such as this one. How can I make these mods portable so they are playable?The precompiled package on here seems to not have any .ddl's in it. How can It be made portable and launchable when sent?

Downloading and running the pre-compiled Linux build seems to just say "There is no application installed for "Appimage Application Bundle." Is this an archive image that needs to be extracted? Does this file assume that I already have some third-party stuff installed? This is a brand new install of Ubuntu.

I was wondering if there was any way to change the resolution of the game via a menu option? I know that there is the "--fullscreen-resolution WIDTH HEIGH" command line option but, there's no option to change the resolution while in Windowed mode. Ideally, I'd love an option to have the game's resolution as 1280x960/2x scaled. Or, if that can't be done, maybe include a command line option for "--windowed-resolution WIDTH HEIGH" and also include 1280x960 as a valid option?

My main issue is that the UI just stretches and is pretty spaced apart while in Windowed or Fullscreen mode.

Thanks!
