Hey, Every time I've try to use the Full Editor when PM'ing someone, and every single time I get an error. Whoever is in charge of the forum, is it possible that this could be fixed? Thanks Neon

It has always seemed dumb to have to configure a gamepad/joystick for every single game you want to play. Why not make the right-stick control your mouse, and the left control WASD? You can also assign other keys on the joypad to whatever keys/mouse buttons you like. I accomplished this by installing the xserver-xorg-input-joystick package. You'll get a default configuration that is less than optimal, so we'll customize it. Do not customize /etc/X11/xorg.conf! If you have a section in there that references /dev/input/js0 and your joystick is not plugged in when X starts, it will fail to start. Instead, look to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-joystick.conf. This file stores the configuration for the driver. Setting it up isn't as easy as it could be. You need to know the keycodes for the events you want to bind, along with the names of the buttons on your gamepad. You can find the names of the keys on your keyboard by looking in the keycode at /usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes. To get the name of a given button when you press it on the gamepad, install and use jstest. What follows is my /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-joystick.conf file. Section "InputClass" Identifier "joystick catchall" MatchIsJoystick "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "joystick" Option "MapAxis1" "mode=accelerated keylow=38 keyhigh=40" Option "MapAxis2" "mode=accelerated keylow=25 keyhigh=39" Option "MapAxis3" "mode=relative axis=+1x deadzone=5000" Option "MapAxis4" "mode=relative axis=+1y deadzone=5000" Option "MapAxis5" "mode=accelerated keylow=34 keyhigh=35" Option "MapAxis6" "mode=accelerated keylow=52 keyhigh=53" Option "MapButton6" "button=1" Option "MapButton8" "key=37" Option "MapButton7" "key=41" Option "MapButton5" "button=2" Option "MapButton2" "key=26" Option "MapButton1" "key=54" Option "MapButton4" "button=3" Option "MapButton11" "key=24" Option "MapButton12" "key=27" Option "MapButton9" "key=23" Option "MapButton10" "key=9" Option "MapButton3" "key=29" EndSection With this configuration: Your left stick is WASD, your D-pad is ,. and []. Your face buttons are mouse 1,2,c and e (I think). Your L3 and R3 are q and r for leaning. Your L1/2/R1/2 buttons are Control, F, Mouse 1, and something which I forgot. Your start and select are escape and tab, for showing the objectives and pausing the game. It took me a few hours to get all this crap working well, so perhaps it will help someone.Now we have a tiny driver that runs in the background and enables all of this on the fly. No bloated software required!

I'm wondering if anyone ever checks new posts in the Fan Missions Forums? I've posted 4 questions asking for help for 4 different missions that I can't finish because I"m stuck, and I don't get any help. I posted a question this morning so I don't expect an answer right away for that one. Its frustrating because I would like to finish them. I've read through the posts for each mission and I'm not getting anything from them. If there's someone who could help me I'd really appreciate it. Thanks I guess I'm spoiled from the TTLG forums.

Hi all, me again Now that I've learned how to take screenies on DM (thanks to Aluminumhaste) I wanted to post one that I took but I got an error saying that the image ext that I used was not allowed in these forums, It was .jpg so I changed it to .png and I got the same error again. They're on Photobucket.

Hi, i couldn´t find anything for Doom 3 Gamepad Support. But for the Darkmod it would be perfect, for me. In the first two Thief´s (didn´t tried Thief 3 yet) I used the left stick for walking (how much you push is how fast you´re walking) and I LOVE this! It adds a more realistic feeling and more suspense when sneaking up behind a guard and I would be happy to use this in the dark mod! I used this on the game "SiN", which has the quake2-engine and hopefully Doom3 uses the same commands, I have to try... The rest of the commands could be emulated with something like "Joy2Key". I´m always using "Mouselook" with the right Stick, it´s more sensitive. I would be happy, if the X and Y axis would be supported by the game!

Personally I think this is the worst idea ever. The Reason forums has LOADS of info and knowledge, built up through years and years. I'm really sad to see it go away, and I can't understand why they've made this decision. https://www.propellerheads.se/forum/showthread.php?p=1579099#poststop
