Robert marquardt 0 Posted May 7, 2002 It seems that OF enumerates the DirectX input devices wrongly. Normally a game only tries to enumerate gamepads and joysticks. OF ignores the device class and enumerates all input devices. By that it finds my device of class "generic HID" and reads its buttons. Since i handle the device with an application and generate key presses, the device gets handled twice which assigns two actions to a single button. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jawk2 1 Posted May 7, 2002 i guess u did the same thing as me: to put the 4-in-one VIA patch 4.38.... since i did this for my computer i m playing with: 3 keyboards and 2 joystick!!!! Héhé now i m waiting for u in MP.... with all of that i m invulnerable ***Note it's a bug refered to VIA MB chipset forums since 1 month and still no correction... if u got a VIA chipset and a sidewinder joystick dont use that patch*** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALDEGA 0 Posted May 7, 2002 I don't see how the VIA patch could do something like that. Anyway check "device manager" and make sure there's nothing there that shouldn't be in there. Also, OF will only use devices recognized by DirectX as "gamepad/joystick". You can see all the connected "gamepads/joysticks" in the gamepad control panel (windows). Again, make sure there are only entries that should be there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert marquardt 0 Posted May 8, 2002 The Game Options control panel does NOT see my "generic HID" device. My device is changed dynamically from "gamepad" to "generic HID" by a lower USB filter driver. This obviously works or the Game Options Control panel would see it (tested). I still think that the enumeration of OF is incorrect. Maybe it does not check fully for joysticks and gamepads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALDEGA 0 Posted May 8, 2002 (edited) Screenshot from device manager. Notice that the joystick is listed twice. My USB mouse is listed there too. However, OF only "sees" the joystick as a "game controller", not the mouse. So it's correct. This is how it looks in the control panel. (also shown is a gamepad, connected to gamport -> soundcard midi port) I really suggest you make sure the correct drivers are installed. It really shouldn't say "generic hid" (human interface device) as it could be considered to be many things (mouse, gamepad, joystick etc...)

Robert marquardt 0 Posted May 13, 2002 Please, i have a driver TO MAKE IT "generic HID"! So Game Options Control Panel is correct NOT to show my device. The idea of the driver is to remove the device from precisely this list. OF still enumerates my device. This indicates that OF does not work the same way as the control panel. Most probable guess: the test for gamepad or joystick is not complete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
