gmcl_joystick - DirectInput module with simplified interface - Garry's Mod

I tough it did anything that did memory injections, anyways, I was being paranoid.

Yeah! Finally, I can controll my vechicles with my joystick :D

I know this is old, but still, is there any hope for this to have some way to control force feedback devices in the future?

I was thinking, I think I know how this can be entirely clientside. Assuming that E2 can read convars quickly, and looking at the lua I don't see any indication that it can't read a value at any speed one wishes. If you could output joystick information into a convar (and output a string, and separate the numbers with comas or something) or several convars, or dynamically create sequentially numbered convars. And then be able to bind the joystick to convars, you could theoretically go anywhere. E2 would read the values off the client's own console variables and then pass them along to whatever you want as needed. No need for the sever to install anything. :) Just put a button in the binding GUI to bind to convar instead of a "wire joystick" or whatever. Then have numbered slots, if you use a string on a single convar with like coma seprations you can have as many values as you want and then the user just needs to know which number in the list is what. From E2 they'd explode the string to an array, convert to number and they have the values. :) You could even pair it with a 2nd convar that would have the UID separated by some character that you disallow users to type in their UID names. Ultimately this system isn't far off from what you have now, where numbers 1-8 must be cross referenced to the dialog box listing the UID's in order.

well me again, and I still think this should have FFB support, if I knew anything at all about C++ I would do it myself, but all I know is java and C#

Hate to say it, but the download link is broken (all of them), and all the other sites on the web that have info on Joystick support for Gmod link here. Any chance that someone can fix it? or post another link that works? Edit: Link working again, Don't mind me...

Greetings, I have installed the addon, and can see the axis indicators moving (after starting joyconfig in the console), when I turn the wheel on my G25, press the pedals, buttons etc. So, how do I assign the axis / buttons, to drive the default jeep ? I tried clicking on the x-axis indicator in the device panel, and dropping it on the "w" key on the "general input menu". But when I click on the "w", then my mouse cursor "picks up" a "w". I then tried clicking with the "attached -w" back on the device panel / x -axis, but I think I'm just "going in circles" here :) I downloaded the two videos in the first post, but they don't explain the assignment process. I see there is also a joystick "chip" in the wiremod menu. Do I need to place that chip inside / on the jeep ? thx Mike

How to align it to the things I want? I have no idea how to control other things than WAC helicopters with it. And everytime I load a map, my rotation axis and forward/backward axis is inverted and I have to manually invert them each time. I use Saitek X52 Pro Btw the weapon movements, effects, aiming etc are really awesome!

[U]Help Please![/U] Background: Okay, so originally, I had this mod as (2.5?). I couldn't figure out how to use it. Somehow I found this thread, which has a later version. So I deleted the old version and tried to install this one. What's going on now: I HAVE officially deleted any files associated with the the older version, along with all files associated with this newer one. I still can't get the new one to install and show up in Wiremod. Originally, I had the (2.5?) under Wire I/O. So, basically, I'm just trying to get er' back. I hope someone could tell me exactly where to extract what, what files to look for and get rid of if I didn't find them (I searched Windows for "joystick" and got rid of anything associated with the mod), and so on, and so forth. Thank you in advance.

I couldn't find any info on wether this mod requires a server module to be installer aswell? Or it it completely clientside?

Yeah, I know I'm bumping this thread, but links are broken.

Need a download link, can't find it online anywhere.

Have no idea if this is the latest version, but it's the one I'm running on my servers without any problems and I've had several people ask me for the module. Place gmcl_joystick.dll in garrysmod/lua/includes/modules. [url]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7934790/joystick.zip[/url] If mirroring it isn't cool or you fix the download links just let me know and I'll pull it down.

Night-Eagle's been MIA for years, as I recall. I don't think he'll have a problem with this; i appreciate it!

How so? His last login was 3 weeks ago.

Well, I haven't come across any posts by him recently, so he's dead to me :v:

[URL="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8385549/lua/joystick.zip"]Here's the copy I've come across[/URL], which according to the info.txt is version 29 from August 2010, as oppsed to the copy above which is version 28 from May 7th 2010. For the next person to stumble across this a year or so after the latest post, even though Gmod 13, or 14 :-), may very well have a problem with it.

Anyone got the source so I can fix it up for GMod 13?

How to lock it to Adv Pod Controller? I have my contraption joystick module controlled but I can control it remotely, which I don't want to. I wired the APD to joystick multi and the APD is linked to a seat on the contraption. But I can't still control it only from the vehicle

Source for the module (only I got, I think it's the latest): [url]http://agent47.x10.mx/files/gmcl_joystick_Bin_v1_2_source.zip[/url]

Download link is broken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:tinfoil:

[QUOTE=simas1017;37854181]Download link is broken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:tinfoil:[/QUOTE] Wtf man, just look above...

Could someone update this for GMod13? I loved the joystick module in the old GMod.

[QUOTE=minifisch;38205249]Could someone update this for GMod13? I loved the joystick module in the old GMod.[/QUOTE] Totally... I demand this mod for Gmod 13!! I would upload it to Workshop but isn't it illegal when I am not the maker? Then how are we getting it to Gmod 13 when the maker seems to not be active anymore?

Most of LUA code is fixed, but I don't know how to fix the module. Can someone help us fixing the module please?

You can -sort of- use the old version in GM13; just rename info.txt to addon.txt The menu to let you define the bindings doesn't work though, so it's not very useful :/

Any progress on this? I managed to acquire a Saitek x45 for £3.75 and would quite like to use it! A small paypal donation from me is available if this is fixed up to it's original functionality ;)

Still willing to pay. Will pay a bit at the start of work for a deposit and and rest when it's done.

So this addon doesn't work for GM13? It could after moving the files to addons like you did at 12

I'll contribute £5 to the rewards pot if anyone can get this working in GM13.
