Hurrican Guide

Install the Hurrican App

• Download the latest Hurrican release.
• Install the .msix through the Xbox Device Portal.
• Install the included dependency file.
• Launch the app once so it can create its default LocalState files.

Controller Notes

For 2 player mode, the second controller needs to be connected before launching the game.

Controller order is:

• Player 1: 0: Xbox One Game Controller
• Player 2: 1: Xbox One Game Controller

If you are setting controls in the config menu, press A on the D-Pad entry to switch to X/Y axis controls for the left stick.

Cheats

Open the console with Start + Back/View and enter a cheat.

Use Up/Down on the D-Pad to cycle through letters.

Launch Arguments

You can pass launch arguments by creating a file called:

arguments.ini

Upload it to the app's LocalState folder using Xbox Device Portal:

Hurrican/LocalState/

Use one argument per line.

Example:

--stretch
--showfps
--crt

Included User Levels

Seven user levels from turricanforever.de are included:

ChJees
Genocide
Second_Empire
SecretPlanet
Volcano_Temple
Walkers_World
valentine

You can launch a user level with --custom in arguments.ini.

Example:

--custom ChJees

Useful Arguments

These are the arguments the game knows about:

Argument	Description
-H, -?, --help	Show help.
-W, --windowmode	Run in a window, not fullscreen.
-S, --stretch	Stretch fullscreen output to fill the display.
-F, --showfps	Show the current frames per second.
-D x, --depth x	Set screen pixel depth to 16, 24, or 32.
-L, --lowres	Use 320x240 low-resolution screen dimensions.
-NV, --novsync	Disable VSync / double-buffering.
-NP, --nonpot	Allow non-power-of-two texture sizes.
-TF x, --texfactor x	Divide texture size by 1, 2, or 4.
-TS x, --texsizemin x	Only resize textures above this size.
-PD x, --pathdata x	Use another path for read-only game data.
-PS x, --pathsave x	Use another path for save data.
-C, --crt	Enable CRT-style effects except noise.
--scanlines	Enable CRT scanlines.
--colorbleed	Enable CRT color bleeding.
--screencurve	Enable CRT screen curvature.
--screennoise	Enable CRT screen noise.
--custom x	Play a custom user level.
--level x	Load a selected level map.
--arcade	Treat keyboard as a joystick for X-Arcade style setups.

Xbox Dev Mode Caveats

Some arguments are desktop leftovers and may not be useful on Xbox Dev Mode.

• --windowmode is not really relevant on Xbox. The app is expected to run fullscreen.
• --help has no normal console window to print into, so it is not useful.
• --depth may not make a visible difference with the current ANGLE/OpenGL ES path.
• --novsync may not behave like desktop OpenGL. Use it only for testing.
• --pathdata and --pathsave are best avoided. LocalState is the default.
• --arcade is mainly for keyboard-to-joystick arcade setups, so it is not needed on Xbox.

The safest arguments for normal use are:

--stretch
--showfps
--crt
--scanlines
--colorbleed
--screencurve
--screennoise
--lowres
--custom [insert custom map name]
--level [insert level name]

Troubleshooting

If launch arguments do not seem to work:

• Check that the file is named exactly arguments.ini.
• Check that it has been uploaded to Hurrican/LocalState/.
• Check that each argument is on its own line.
• Remove any desktop only arguments that may not apply to Xbox Dev Mode.
