Using two T16000 and T.A.R.G.E.T. in Diaspora

--- Code: ---// this is the (my) Diaspora_button_Macros.ttm  file.   (usage seen at page 19/60 of the TARGET script manual)
// to be used in conjunction with the mapkey part I will post in a few days. (how it works: T.A.R.G.E.T. script manual page19/60)
//feel free to adjust to your own pref. construction ofc. It's mainly here te help understand how T.A.R.G.E.T. can do stuff for you.

//everything behind at least two of these -untill the next line- is always ignored by the program. so an ideal place to clarify stuff.

//note: my pc gave one USB the nr ''3'' (the left one T16001), and the other ''1'' (the right one T16000). In case of reference ..

//here comes the left joystick little thumbee POV's HAT definitions they way it made sence to me... And list below is going clockwise:

{
define Center_View '1' // When the game tells MapKey (soon to be posted) to execute 'Center_View' it gets redirected to this file and creates a ''1'' here.
//It starts working (doing the MapKey part) when quickkeyed ingame to ''1'' for Center View. linked to the POV-UP in the soon-to-be-seen MapKey code.
define View_Up '2' //  link View Up ingame to ''2''. linked to POV-UPRIGHT
define View_Right '3' // link View Right to ''3''. linked to POV-R
define Free_Look '4' // link to ''4'' ingame. linked to POV-DR
define View_Rear '5' // etc, see above how to proceed, POV-D
define External_View '6' // POV-DL
define View_Left '7' // POV-L
define Current_Target_View '8' // POV-UL

//also on left POV: joystick sensibility. The three modes. Defining them was done in the main script. They are in the [SHIFT]+[ALT] layer (only accessable by pushing two buttons with the right hand to prevent accidental activation.)

//TS1-TS4  trigger/buttons next:

define Fire_Secondary_Weapon '9' // quickkey ingame to ''9''. Mapkey will give this order to the trigger (TS1)

define SHIFT L_SHIFT // TS2 (easy to push with base of your thumb) does ''shift''-layer. Needed since I make use of Keybord obsolete by assigning entire alphabet to buttons on the two joystick.
//Some letters have to be used more then once to be able to assign all the Dia stuff :) .

define Cycle_Secundary_Weapon_Bank 'm' // TS3 (the left button) creates an ''m'' because when pushed in the MapKey part it orders TARGET to look for something that defines C_S_W_B, and TARGET finds that info over here. 
//''m'' needs to be linked ingame to C_S_W_B  ofc. as with all these defines!
//define Cycle_Secundary_Weapon_Firing_Rate. *//* Yes, this is not a //-typo. Target needs no info about this one, but you do...:
//Activated by using any TS2 (both will give you a [shift]) +left TS3. Bind ingame to [SHIFT]+ ''m''. 
//These not-completelly-used-by-TARGET lines are from here on marked by *//* after the define-part for easy comment-reading, and to avoid confusion.

define Target_Next_Closest_Hostile_Ship 'r' // TS4 (the right button) creates an 'r' here. bind ingame to T_N_C_H_S as usual
//define Target_Previous_Closest_Hostile_Ship. *//* The former/above created 'r' In the [ALT] layer this time. [ALT] gets created by pushing the right stick's TS3. So left TS4+ right TS3. Bind ingame to [ALT]+ ''r''

//define Target_Next_Hostile_Bomb_Bomber. *//* Any TS2 + left TS4. Bind ingame to [SHIFT]+ 'r'
//Define Target_Previous_Hostile_Bomb_Bomber. *//* Any TS2+ right TS3+ left TS4. Bind ingame to [SHIFT]+[ALT]+ 'r'  (=not difficult to push al these. the mental stuff is the hard part :) )

-end part one of this file, the left joystick MapKey definitions-

Second part soon. Posting in parts so you can see work in progress. :). In a few days all is posted, and testing can begin. I hope people with also these two sticks will want to help me with this.
Maybe other T.A.R.G.E.T. file writers can see errors sooner then me. I am confident that this will help some of Thrustmaster stuff users out.
Copy-Pasting this and correcting (hopefully) only one or two syntax errors saves you 3 days typing and 3 months homework I find.
I hope my theorie of/in the code is as good as correct. I am no pro in finding out why stuff will/is not working yet, lol.. Haven't had time to test anything. Still got 1-2 days of programming the rest of the program ahead it seems...
ps: Sorry if with copy-paste the txt joy pic layout gets gurbled up. It's either looking ok here, or ok in your own file :P.

pps: the green code trick works :) looking nice!

The next page below needs adjusting, so I will go []code it when I got code that works. It seems that Diaspora hates F1-F12 buttons. So I need to adjust it. My idea is that since I cannot push two buttons (ALT is the left big button besides the POV) with one thumb top (we cán with the base of the tumb/palm which gives us the shift-button!), and I want to use the KeyPad numbers and the normal numbers without chance of activating other stuff linked to normal numbers.
I will use up, right, down and left POV = KP1, KP3, KP5 and KP7.
The in between POV's I will do in [SHIFT]+[ALT] + normal 2, 4, 6 and 8. This has to be done so cause Dia don't like [SHIFT] with KeyPad numbers. And [ALT] + POV is using your thumbtop for two things= not possible, lol.
I will code T.A.R.G.E.T. to give these four POV's an [ALT] and the number, and you will have to use the [SHIFt] TS3 in addition to these POV's. This to deny the possibility you slightly miss the POV you want to hit, and do stuff with your Throttle while you wanted to use countermeasure etc. The having to use of TS3 button for the in-between-buttons prevents unexpected stuff from happening. :)

The other left handed POV only does camera, and misswitching between them doesn't do other stuff to the ship. So it doesn't matter that much over there.. :)

z64555:
If you don't mind, would you please encase the .ttm code with the {code}{/code} tags (using square brackets instead of the braces)?

Rakebuzz:
Are you sure *.ttm files use these at all? I only did what the manual on page 19 sayed how it worked. It doesn't speak of these {}'s (as you can see in the attachment)
I haven't been in the T.A.R.G.E.T. script part of the software yet, so I only have on paper that in order for my joysticks to work like 'this' , the code should be 'that'. Been busy with other stuff this weekend also and two days of headache isn't working along too.
But you sound sure, so I will apply them.

It might seem foolish to post stuff that hasn't been tested, but the theory is there, people got a lot to work with (took me 4 months to read, and understand the manual, and come up with code that should do the job), and it might only take a few small adjustments to get the stuff working.
Posted it so it could save others weeks of work that are riding on the same boat as me... (I think even other Thrustmaster users could benefit)
Even posted a few comments to adjustments and reason why they might have to be applied.

Had to look Brackets and Bracers up on google. My English is ok, but not in the code-section...

BTW: Here you can find the manuals and the software. Not sure if I posted it above. Don't see it.

Rakebuzz:
I'm sure you didn't mean for me to do every indivudual line of
define: between []
and every
// define: not between []
?
If so...I would mind. for obvious reasons.. :P
Everything behind // is ignored by the program. But it still serves a purpose, cause you still need the info after it, to understand stuff and it can do no harm there for as long as it remains in the same line.. (according to the manual)
