🎮 Changelog SFD 1.4.0c (BETA)

✨ New Features

Refactored GamePad controller usage.

• Handling of GamePads within the game improved. Local players join on any GamePad by pressing the "Attack" button in the main menu. All other GamePads control player 1.
• If two GamePads registers first input on the same frame one of the controllers are assumed to be emulated and is ignored. Note: An XBox controller (even emulated) will be favored over a DirectInput (non-XBox) controller in this scenario. If you have used a DirectInput controller before and still want to use it you need to do one of the following:
  A: (Recommended action) Go into the game's keybinding settings and rebind the keys on your GamePad to the players again.
  B: Disable Steam's controller emulation for SFD.
• Removed KB_REDIRECT_UNUSED_CONTROLLERS_TO_P1 from config.ini as it's no longer applicable.
• Added KB_IGNORE_GAMEPAD_0 to KB_IGNORE_GAMEPAD_7 to config.ini to be able to ignore GamePad controller with a specific index, useful if you want to rebind GamePad buttons to keyboard keys using third-party programs.

🛠️ Fixes

• Improved visual clarity for team icons 7 and 8
• Fixed a crash introduced in previous Beta update that caused local multiplayer to not work as intended.
• Fixed some issues with the new invidiual camera in previous Beta update.
