Joystick woes

posted Jan 11, 2013 06:49:06 by SigbiornSigmundarson
I already have Artemis working with my Thrustmaster Hotas X. I've been trying to improve it by mapping more keys to it. However Buttons 8-11 and the hat will not map. I want the hat to change views on the main screen and buttons 8-11 to do things like activate shields and reverse. They currently work mapped to 0-3. Any ideas or am I out of luck?

Currently buttons 8 and 9 do not work and neither does the hat switch:

ANALOG_RUDDER = UI_INPUT_JOY0_AXIS0
DEADZONE = 0.0
MULTIPLY = 1.0
POWER = 1.0
ADD = 0.0
HIGH_BOUND = 1.0
LOW_BOUND = -1.0

ANALOG_THROTTLE = UI_INPUT_JOY0_AXIS2

JOY_WARP_1 = UI_INPUT_JOY0_BUTT4
JOY_WARP_2 = UI_INPUT_JOY0_BUTT5
JOY_WARP_3 = UI_INPUT_JOY0_BUTT6
JOY_WARP_4 = UI_INPUT_JOY0_BUTT7

HELM_TOGGLE_REVERSE = UI_INPUT_JOY0_BUTT8
HELM_REQUEST_DOCK = UI_INPUT_JOY0_BUTT9
TOGGLE_SHIELDS = UI_INPUT_JOY0_BUTT2

MAIN_SCREEN_FRONT = UI_INPUT_JOY0_HATUP
MAIN_SCREEN_LEFT = UI_INPUT_JOY0_HATLEFT
MAIN_SCREEN_RIGHT = UI_INPUT_JOY0_HATRIGHT
MAIN_SCREEN_REAR = UI_INPUT_JOY0_HATDOWN
MAIN_SCREEN_TACTICAL = UI_INPUT_JOY0_BUTT0
MAIN_SCREEN_SECTOR = UI_INPUT_JOY0_BUTT1
MAIN_SCREEN_STATUS = UI_INPUT_JOY0_BUTT3

Back in October I got my Thrustmaster HOTAS X to change views based on the hat. The Helmsmen who tried it loved it. I'll try to reconstruct what I did. As I recall, I needed to replrogram the Thrustmaster itself, then change the Artemis control mapping.

Edit: Now that reverse impulse exists I will need to remap my Thrustmaster anyway. Any thoughts on which button should toggle reverse?

"Damn the torpedoes! Four bells, Captain Drayton!"

(Likely actual words of Admiral David Farragut, USN, at the battle of Mobile Bay. Four bells was the signal for the engine room to make full steam ahead).

I currently have reverse mapped to a thumb button on the stick (BUTT_3 I believe). I'm thinking I'm going to remap it to BUTT_7 to place it on throttle control where it belongs. This would replace Warp 4 but who ever goes Max Warp anyway.

Mike, did you ever find out what you did to make the hat controls work?

I was unable to use BUTT_9. I remapped it using j2k but this was a shame.
