Title: [Request] Multiple Joystick
Post by: assasing123 on October 23, 2015, 05:55:21 pm
So as the title says, it would be really nice if FSO supported the use of multiple joysticks when you have more than 1 on the computer...
i have seen some games that once they receive input from a joystick they can identify which specific joystick did the input.

this feature would allow some very nice setups for FSO where the 6DOF on some mods is hard to control with just 1 joystick or pad

Doesn't change the fact that it will have to wait until SDL2 everywhere is merged in, unless someone feels like working on it on the SDL2 branch.

It IS one of the things I'm most looking forward to once SDL2 is merged.

sigh, I've got a project already set up on it, but I haven't gotten very far into the design portion of things. This is because multiple controller support requires a major rework of the action maps.
