where can I plug this in at?

well.....i really miss the joystick here in world.......can I please use one.....do we have ability?....ermmm...capability?
does anybody use one?

I can't imagine a joystick being too useful aside from just normal avatar movement.

It would be horrid for camera control, and everything else you really need the mouse or keyboard for.

this is not for avatar specifically....this is for the objects use

doh

Well you have to remember objects don't have special controls, all they do is take over some of the basic avatar controls.

well...is there a way or no....no more reindeer games....

heh si thinks he sly


sly si

lmao

it depends on yer joystick drivers.... higher end gaming preipherals often have a way to 'remap' axes/buttons on the peripheral to keystrokes or mouse movements so if you go with a decent ($50 and above stick...) theres a good chance the driver software will let you use it within SL by doin that if nothin else


if ya have a stick already and it doesn, i don't think there is a way of doin it directly unless you can work it in with some generic joystick driver that does (doable with game port joysticks.. not so doable with usb)

Yes, I have an "older" Logitech FF stick, too lazy to go over and look at it, WingMan something...

I was able to map the axes and some keys to it, but unfortunately I can't get it to emulate my mouse, so mouselook is a bit moot.

But, it works, nonetheless. Just doesn't have the mapping capabilities I need for SL.

Bino-

You might want to goto logitech's website (or www.wingmanteam.com which is the direct dev team's website) to see what updated drivers and profiles they have for your joystick.

Some of us were pushing for a joystick API a while back but it kind of fizzled when it became apparent it needed more detail re: how to have objects capable of capturing input either from a joystick OR a mouse OR the keyboard or some combination, which the users would choose for themselves.

hehe......I appreciate your help guys.....I got something going with it, yeah itza generic pad and Iam trying to configure, gonna have to work with it abit.....i could only walk backwards for abit....hehe

I also am haven trble with incorpration of mouse control....
but I think it will be beneifical once I GET THRU JACKING WITH IT........................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


always something that seems too much like actual work that gets me everytime....

hehe
peace

Thanks for the other link Colin, I'll try that. I had gotten the latest drivers from Logitech's website, as opposed to using the CD which I knew was old

Will try the site now.

Si, it would be useful for the new vehicles...if we're talking analog joysticks here and not the old digital things like Atari's had, heh.
