Joystick Configuration

This page provides working examples of different joystick configurations, showing how each buton has been bound to operate a single Vega Strike function.

If a Joystick Configuration matches your joystick, you can edit copy the configuration here into your vegastrike config file.

JOYSTICK: bind

Sample

<bind joystick="0" player="0" button="0" modifier="none" command="FireKey" />

Description

  • joystick - Number of the joystick.
  • player - for which player is the command specified? FIXME  ?how this is right?
  • button - Number of the button on the joystick.
  • modifier - FIXME ? no clue ?
  • command - Specify the command to start when the button is pressed here. See Keyboard layout for description and a list of commands.

JOYSTICK: axis

Sample

<axis name="x" joystick="0" axis="0" inverse="false" />

Description

  • name - Name of the axis (in the game) to bind (x,y,z,throttle)
  • joystick - Number of the joystick.
  • axis - Number of axis of the joystick.
  • inverse - Set this to true if you want to inverse the axis direction and to false if not.

ANALOG COOLIHAT/HATSWITCH

forum link 1

Sample

<axis name="hatswitch" nr="0" margin="0.15" joystick="1" axis="2">
  <hatswitch value="-1.0"/>
  <hatswitch value="-0.6"/>
  <hatswitch value="-0.19"/>
  <hatswitch value="0.1"/>
</axis>

<bind hatswitch="0" button="0" modifier="none" command="ABKey" />
<bind hatswitch="0" button="1" modifier="none" command="AccelKey" />
<bind hatswitch="0" button="2" modifier="none" command="DecelKey" />
<bind hatswitch="0" button="3" modifier="none" command="StopKey" />

Is this really how it works? For me it binds the NORMAL BUTTON-0 to the ABKey and not the 'virtual' one of the hatswitch/throttle. But that's what is in the vegastrike.config file :-/

You are correct. This bug preventing "bind" from working with hatswitches, and thus hatswitches from working at all, has been fixed in latest CVS, but not in 0.4.3.

DIGITAL COOLIHAT/HATSWITCH

forum link

Sample

<bind joystick="0" digital-hatswitch="0" direction="up" command="ABKey"/>

Description

  • joystick - Number of the joystick.
  • digital-hatswitch - Number of the digital hatswitch.
  • direction - Direction (-button) of digital hatswitch.
    • Possible values: "center", "up", "right", "left", "down", "rightup", "rightdown", "leftup", "leftdown"
  • command - Specify the command to start when the button is pressed here. See Keyboard layout for description and a list of commands.

DIGITAL AXES/D-PAD AS HATSWITCH

This can allow one to use a (usually digital) axis such as a D-Pad as button commands, such as camera keys, etc.

Sample

<axis name="hatswitch" nr="0" margin="0.26" joystick="0" axis="2">
  <hatswitch value="-0.75"/>
  <hatswitch value="0.75"/>
</axis>
<axis name="hatswitch" nr="1" margin="0.26" joystick="0" axis="3">
  <hatswitch value="-0.75"/>
  <hatswitch value="0.75"/>
</axis>

<bind hatswitch="0" button="0" command="Cockpit::YawLeft" />
<bind hatswitch="0" button="1" command="Cockpit::YawRight" />
<bind hatswitch="1" button="0" command="Cockpit::PitchDown" />
<bind hatswitch="1" button="1" command="Cockpit::PitchUp" />

Description

In <axis> tags:

  • axis - Number of the joystick axes for up/down and left/right.
  • margin - basically, you want this to include 1.0 and -1.0, but not 0.0 when adding hatswitch-value +/- margin
  • joystick - 0=down/left, 1=up/right

In <bind> tags:

  • hatswitch and nr - Number of the two defined "hatswitches".
  • button - 0=down/left, 1=up/right
  • command - Specify the command to start when the button is pressed here. See Keyboard layout for description and a list of commands.

Joystick Examples

Please insert your working configs here

Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback Pro

(may work for other sidewinder-joysticks as well)

Add the joystick-name to the dropdown menu

add joy_ffp to the line 

#cat Joystick no_joy joy_normal joy_throttle joy_axis joy_throttle_and_axis joy_t_a_rev

like this 

#cat Joystick no_joy joy_normal joy_throttle joy_axis joy_throttle_and_axis joy_t_a_rev joy_ffp

Add the description text

#desc joy_ffp Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback Pro

Make the joystick the current one

edit the #set Joystick xxxx line to 

#set Joystick joy_ffp

Binding code

Place the code below above the </bindings> line in the vegastrike.config file.

FIXME Attention: This bindings may not work under linux ... at least it doesn't for me since i switched. Help is always welcome.

USB Saitek X45

4-axis/7-button/4-hatswitch/2 rotary control, 2 mode switch (M1,M2,M3 and AUX0-1) stick/flight control system.

3 of the 4 hatswitches could be called like buttons. So I configured them for Cockpit Display and Weapon Selection. Until now the 2 rotary controls are unused. The mode switches are configured for SPEC/cloak.
