Title: 2 Controllers Post by: Patrick D on February 25, 2004, 10:10:21 pm What's up all?
First of all I'd like to say that I've been running UQM since the last 2 releases bug/crash/error free on my system. Excellent work! I'd like to know how to use 2 controllers in UQM - specifically for Melee with friends. I've tried duplicating the first controller code and changing appropriately (device name/settings - ranges) but this doesn't work. If anyone has any advice on this I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm running this through TV out on a friends HD TV and this is the ONLY thing holding us back. They're simple USB gamepads - different from each other though (a gamepad pro and a nyco airflow - both work fine in 1 player) - to avoid conflict. Thanks Pat Title: Re: 2 Controllers Post by: Patrick D on February 25, 2004, 10:19:50 pm specs just in case

Set the joystick 1 threshold to the same as joystick 0's. It "should" work. (That is, I haven't tested this, since I lack two joysticks, but that's what ought to do the trick)

I believe I tried that very thing - but I'll try it again tonight and let you know. Thanks Mike! Title: Re: 2 Controllers Post by: Sage on February 26, 2004, 09:24:47 am I too did this recently, and it's quite easy to replicate. You copy whatever config over, changing Player-1 to Player-2, and the joystick assignments appropriately. Be sure not to convert Player-1-Escape over though, since Player 2 never really has an option to escape. Be sure not to copy the lander controls, and the menu controls you can put on P2 if you want.
So, in a nutshell, it can work. However, I think it would be better if there were separate menu controls for Player 1 and Player 2. This way, P1 can't accidentally choose P2's ship, or even "accidentally", or whatever.

Thanks to both of you for your help. Pat Title: Re: 2 Controllers Post by: Patrick D. on February 27, 2004, 04:04:56 am Got it. Fantastic.
Thanks again for your help! Pat |
