Abxy, Shoulder Buttons In Sdl

[arrrgh]

Just a quick question, how are the shoulder buttons and ABXY buttons recognised as in SDL?

They are key presses, are you looking for the actual codes?

 

[Dimacus]

I'm guessing that he is asking if they are keyboard or joystick key preses.
Now that I think about it, how do you get the values from the analog controls, are they separate joysticks?

All of the buttons are detected as keyboard presses.
The analog nubs are separate joysticks. I have not used them in SDL, only directly

It would be nice if someone that knows could report the SDL_Keys used for each button (obviously not the keyboard.). I'm still unsure of this myself.

. I'm still unsure of this myself.

This is what I meant in the first place, sorry for not being clear enough.

hmm, i just tried them and Event.key.keysym.sym is always 0

 

[arrrgh]

:huh: Perhaps it's not seeing them as keypresses? Maybe it's seen as a joystick button or something.

the event was triggered, just the sym was 0, which is unknown key, sounds like an SDL issue

Could you still tell us how to use them directly?

Just a little off topic, but maybe this is what is causing the arithmetic error in PPanic! ?

the float exception? if so not sure yet

If the keys in SDL aren't working, how was the version of Quake that Craig was playing receive input? Was it using the kernel interface?

q1 ans q2 are using code I wrote that looks at kernel interface, q3 uses X for input, which probably uses the kernel correctly too

So, how would you test Pandora applications on a PC?

Aethix:
Im guessing that SDL will be fixed in time for release, or if it isn't it probably will be fixed quiet soon after release.
So in SDL all the buttons (including D-Pad,ABXY and L/R) are keyboard buttons you just have to remap them, if need be.
The analog nubs are a different story, either you need to own one or two joysticks or you have to use some sort of joystick emulator.

I put up some example code for the kernel method
