Ok, i put the lua in etc etc, and on running it in game - it registers my joystick, displaying inputted joystick movement on screen, yet does nothing to the map.
The widget from first post does nothing besides the output. You'd need to modify it to actual do something useful.

Would someone help me so I could bind the joystick to moving around the map?

bump!

This would be cool - not Smoth's thing, but moving map with 3Dconnexion!

Gentle reminder, that i made a camera tracking with a cellphone.. so if you are willing to glue markers to your monitor and your cellphone to your head.. you can make a view tracker.

Would a 3Dconnexion really work here? Its mainly a CAD-CAM thing. Still think, that putting it in AR on a carpet or table would be the best solution. It worked for table-top gaming for years after all..

Sorry for derail-gunning.

I tested 102 through 104, and none of my joysticks worked. So unfortunately there is only a possible workaround maybe: send joystick data through a luasocket externally.

Those are likely too new.
The thread is from 2009.

Kernel Panic hero mode with gamepad might have been epic.

I tried:

PS4 vanilla, PS4 with DS4Windows (xinput layer), a bluetooth generic controller, and an el cheapo special gamepad from about 2012.

I meant that the engine versions you tried were maybe too new, not the gamepads.

It seems to have been quite incomplete anyway, for example how were multiple gamepads supposed to work? No way to get info about gamepads? (number of buttons and axis etc)

Coupling spring camerashake to a fleshlight launch via blue tooth.. climaxing during defeat.. what a project.

@all: Avoid 10 year old necro please, there is no prospect of any non-ancient Spring supporting a joystick. (Silentwings)

I know this is locked, just wanted to share my way of making this work in 2021 for people to find it if they run into this via search:

Uses python tcp server to forward into luasocket
