Is it support for only one joystick, or could it be used for implementing an arcade-game in Spring using Lua?

now all we need is an interior cockpit gadget and a tool that locks the players perspective to the units facing on aircraft

- in "FPS Camera", you can fly around with joystick (even throttle works)
- in direct controlling ground units, you can rotate and pitch, throttle does not work here yet
- didn't tested what happens with air direct control

Do you supposed this would work with a 3D connexion "space explorer" tool?

Wow, looks good!
But...
It doesn't react to any joystick events for me. I've enabled it, but the functions don't seem to be triggered properly. The joystick works in other programs.

Depends on the driver, if it is detected as mouse, gamepad or whatever else.

Infolog should say some stuff about joystick. Please post.

Here's my infolog. I did a quick skim through, but the only thing I could find was information on the fact that it had loaded the widget.

tested this, there roll control should be changed to yaw, or at least both should be added. currently the fps camera works rather weird.
also, there absolutely has to be a way of rebinding axes, my gamepad has z-axis inverted.

Sorry for necro.
It's working now, the joy_test.lua script works and registers all the events, but how can I configure this to control units in FPS mode or the camera?

Could you list a few devices in which this works for? How about a standard Xbox 360 Controller?

Should work for any joystick or gamepad device.

Integrating it into any of the existing lua camera widgets should be easy. Using it to control engine camera or units isn't (or at least I don't know how).

That you have the drivers for.

Hey,
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. It's the joystick of a Logitech G13 btw, if that helps at all
Also i don't know how to write lua for spring at the current time
