Title: Force Feedback [SOLVED :)]
Post by: amatar on August 08, 2014, 02:49:46 am: Heyo *again* all :)

I seem to be a regular on this forum lol.

I have a Logitech Wingman Force 3D joystick. I have the proper drivers for it, it tests properly but it doesn't seem to have any FF effects in-game. It works fine cept for that :confused:

Any ideas? Again thank you to everyone who posts...your help is appreciated!

My first thread on this forum was about the launcher at my resolution using my TV as a monitor...the "Launch" button was cut off at the resolution I am forced to use on it: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=88067.0 (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=88067.0)

The solution was to create a "cmdline_fso.cfg" with the options I needed on it. I ended up using this code:

Code: [Select]
-missile_lighting -post_process -soft_particles -fxaa -dualscanlines -targetinfo -ship_choice_3d -weapon_choice_3d -3dwarp -warp_flash -res 1136x652 -ambient_factor 90 -spec_exp 0.7 -spec_tube 1.0 -spec_point 0.7 -spec_static 1.0 -ogl_spec 15 -bloom_intensity 20
Might there be a way to add the use of force feedback using the cmdline_fso.cfg? If so, what line would I throw in there?

Thank you again for your help :) The community here is awesome!

Post by: amatar on August 09, 2014, 01:22:26 am: Cool...I just had a look through my registry, found the directory and was just wondering what the value would be.

Thank you for your replies :)

Post by: deathspeed on August 09, 2014, 09:40:40 am: 1 for enabled, 0 for disabled. While you're in there, consider entering 1 for directional hit, too.

Enjoy!!

Post by: amatar on August 09, 2014, 01:46:46 pm: Tried it out and it worked beautifully :) My joystick is really loud though LOL

The entries for directional hit would be "DirectionalHit" and 1?

Sorry for asking for this one, but I'm having to create and enter these manually as there are no entries for any of this in my registry (screencap attached)

It's working out great so far though :yes:

Post by: amatar on August 10, 2014, 01:17:24 pm: Well, seems like everything is looking good :D

The solution was easy and my FF now works like a dream...thank you everyone for your help :yes: :yes: You guys are right there too...the first time I posted on this forum, I figured it would take a week to get a response, but this community is on top of the ****...awesome :)

I will mark the thread as solved.

I've been playing this game and am getting my ass kicked on the refueling mission where the Thesius gets destroyed...brutal, brutal lol. All-in-all, this game is very, very well done and the devs deserve some serious praise!!! Great job to all of you :cool:
