CydandClaude Fable 5 a1b524da29 Test doc: Steam Input steals the pad on 480; abort key; steam env baked in
Reproduced A/B on the dev box: with RP412STEAM=1 the wired pad
disappears from XInput because Steam Input intercepts Xbox controllers
for AppID 480. One-time client setting fixes it (disable Steam Input
for Spacewar, or globally for Xbox controllers); PadRIO hot-connects
within 3s once released. Our own AppID will configure this
server-side.

environ.ini in the dist now ships RP412STEAM=1 (the packer regenerates
the file, which was wiping the hand edit each round); machines without
Steam credentials fall back to TCP cleanly.

# TEST.EGG) — but not the arcade launch scripts or the old 4.10 exe
# - libsndfile-1.dll beside the exe; OpenAL32.dll copied from the system

Red Planet 4.12 - desktop prototype
===================================
Run start-windowed.bat (or: rpl4opt.exe -windowed -res 800 600 -egg TEST.EGG).
No cockpit hardware needed. If there is no sound, run oalinst.exe once.
Controls (XInput controller and/or keyboard):
Left stick / WASD joystick
LT / RT or Q / E left / right pedal
Right stick Y, PgUp/PgDn throttle (holds position)
A / Space joystick trigger
B / R reverse thrust
DPad / arrow keys joystick hat (look)
Start,Back / F1,F2 config buttons
The full pod cockpit comes up in a single window: three green MFDs
across the top, the 3D viewscreen centered with the orange plasma glass
at its left, and the lower MFDs flanking the portrait map. The red
buttons around each MFD and the amber buttons beside the map are the
pod's real button banks: click them with the mouse, and they light up
as the game commands their lamps.
environ.ini options: L4PADFLIP=XY inverts the stick axes, L4MFDSCALE=n
sizes the MFD/map windows (percent, default 50), L4PLASMASCALE=n sets
the plasma pixel size (default 4), L4PLASMAPOS=x,y places the plasma.
Known prototype notes: pods race untextured (the player1-8 skins come
from the presets system, not shipped data), and text drawn on the plasma
glass may appear rotated.
