2nd USB controller not detected

Fds · Post by **Fds** » Wed Aug 04, 2010 11:56 pm

I'm using an USB joystick (logitech wingman extreme digital 3d) for playing allegiance, but i have an usb 3 axis car pedalset too that i wanted to use for some controls.

I tryied to map it as zoom + - and it didnt work.
Then i tryed to map it has any of the X Y Z axis required for moving the ship and it doesnt work neither.
In windows and dxtweak works perfectly, and in other games too.

I think allegiance does not accept commands from a 2nd controller. It happens in some old racing simulators too.
Can you guys make it accepting them?

I'm using Win7 x64 right now, Athlon 64 3200+@2.4ghz, 2 giga of ram ddr1 and an ati radeon x800gto2 16 pipeline. Motherboard is an asus a8n-e

Thanks in advance for the help

P.S: In the specifics, the pedals are the Logitech G25 pedals + leo bodnar usb controller

game is currently hard coded to joystick "0"

so how can i use joysticks with IDs higher then 0?

change every where in the allegiance code that is hard coded to 0 to iterate over all available joysticks and re size the array that holds the joystick objects. - then extend the map keys and controls UI to display Joy 2 ... n if used and a button or axis is mapped. get started at http://freeallegiance.org/FAW/index.php/Do...ding_the_source - change it, build it, test it, submit it.

Ouch!

Cannot this be eventually planned for next versions released?

P.S: btw my programming skill is < 0

You can use Autohotkey to map the 2nd controller to keyboard... it require minimal programming skill.
I can write a basic script for you... can you make the minimum ammount of posts to unlock you message box?
BTW, I like the idea of using pedals to zoom... should be very useful.

Even better, Joy2Key.

That should clear everything up.
