FreePIE for Magicka and vJoy
Posted: Thu Jan 14, 2016 3:01 am
That's my first post here, so I'd start with hello to everybody
I want to ask about scripting in FreePIE. I see it's in Python (and I know its syntax well enough I think to do the job), but I can't grasp how do I actually map buttons on a physical controller to a virtual (say, a generic pad to vJoy).
My problem is mapping physical inputs to virtual outputs to achieve the effect described in a thread on Steam forums in the game Magicka: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/s ... ?t=1744091 (first post). The script there is written for GlovePIE and PPJoy and I, in essence, would like to rewrite it for FreePIE and vJoy, as my Magicka doesn't recognise PPJoy virtual controller, but has no problem with vJoy. What is the exact syntax of button1 = button2? How do I know what names do my buttons have? Does Read-only for vJoy in FreePIE mean, that it'll be in essence impossible to do?
