A bug and a question

Hi, first of all, i'm glad the game is finally playable :D Congratz !

Now to the point. When i got in the first boss room i ever encountered, the screen zoomed-out very far to the point that i couldn't see anything. I went out of the room and in again to see if it would fix it but no. So i don't know what's causing the problem but i thought i would share it here ^^. (i deleted the save and did not reach another boss room after that so i can't say if this problem will happen every time or not. I'll keep you updated) (edit : oh, and the spot where my character entered the room was on the upper left corner of the screen(-ish) so it made it so he's behind the HP bars etc...)


Now for the question : is it possible to have the game ignore system files/directories ?

I mean, on C:/ there is a lot hidden system files and directories i can't access with the normal explorer, and i don't like not being able to "map ahead" what's in what room. So if there could be an option or something to disable the use of hidden system files in the future that would be great :).

Oh, another bug i encountered multiple times, on the "library" kind of rooms, there is often a enemy spawning above the level, in a spot where i can't reach.

You can tell the game to ignore specific folders modifying the file named settings.ini located at C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\AdventurOS\settings.ini and adding a new parameter called banned and each entry separated with the | character. it will look something like this:
banned = "foldername|documents|pictures|"
The game will not create doors that go to directories with that name.

There is no way of hiding the default systemwide hidden files for now, but is something that we will take a look on implementing in future updates.

Regarding the out of place mosnter, thanks for the report, the screenshot really helps! We will address this issue on the next content update

Oh thanks for the answer ! I already found the appdata folder and was fiddling around with it but not successfully ^^ So thanks !

And yeah, for the option to "auto-ban" system hidden files, if you could make it some day that would be great, but with the workaround you gave me it works fine too ^^ (being a developer myself, i know that file systems and such can be a pain ^^)

Oh, and no prob for the screenshot, a picture is worth a thousand words as they say ;)

One last thing : do you plan on letting us rebind keys ? (either via option menu or via config file) Because, being French i have an AZERTY keyboard, so i have to Alt+Shift to be able to play correctly ^^. A small quality of life improvement that a lot of people who don't have a QWERTY keyboard will undoubtedly apreciate :D. (once again, not something very important but if you could add it someday it would be cool)


Thanks again for the answers, and for the update that fix the zoom-out bug ^^

I'll be coming back if i find other bugs (è.é)  :P

Keep up the good work and i wish you all the best :D

Thanks for the kind words!
Sorry for forgetting about the AZERTY layout. I created a ticket to implement the key rebinding.

Cheers!
