Title: Joystick+Mouse Control Scheme?
Post by: Tsar on May 21, 2014, 02:37:11 pm
Greetings! I've been attempting to map Diaspora to operate on a hybrid control scheme with Joystick and Mouse, but am having some difficulty keeping the two peripherals separate in the keybinds. I've noticed that moving the mouse left while I was attempting to bind the controls to the mouse actually mapped it to the X axis of the joystick... which is not what I want to happen.

Has anyone had any luck with this control scheme configuration at all? Is it even possible within Diaspora?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

This control scheme is currently not possible on FSO, and thus, Diaspora. There are plans to allow such a feature in the next major revision, but that's some time away now.

What where you planning to do with the mouse, btw?

Thanks for the reply! I was initially attempting to use Diaspora as a test ground for various keybinding control setups mostly.

Oh, cool. I've got some plans for the controls scheme that'll not only release the mouse bindings from the joystick, but also add support for in-game config for scripted controls as well as some additional control types, such as two-staged triggers and slew axes.

It's going to take some time to get around to implementing it though.  :nervous:
