No, it was removed. I actually used to use it on a PS2 controller.

There is a third-party program out there called Joy2Key. It allows you to set keys to joystick buttons. Look it up.

That said, I think taking joystick controls out was a bad move. Not to mention, unnecessary.

There's also Xpadder. Although not free (anymore), it offers more features and customization than JoyToKey. It's also not very expensive, so definitely worth the price.

Now I can say that is lame. I never noticed and I have been using V6 over a year now.

Yeah. I don't really understand why they took out such a great feature.

Me either. I'm not to dissapointed about UDP being removed since I never used it (never needed to). And I only ever used a joystick (gamepad) 2 or 3 times, and never for more then an hour. But it kinda does suck they have removed some features.

It wasn't ever necessary, and the implementation was glitchy at times anyway. No axis support, so nothing important has been lost. I'd like to see an actual implementation with axis and rumble support, though.

Would be cool, is there no way via script to read joystick input? Do they plan on it. Might be cool to see what people can script lol

There is not, I'm afraid. I'd have loved to implement a bit of rumble into some stuff I've created in the past, like my weather system.

Nobody is saying it was necessary. They're saying it was nice to have.

Also, I've never experienced many problems with joypads used in Graal. And I actually prefer them over the keyboard.

I realize that. It's however not even an issue that it's gone now, as you can just use JoyToKey, Xpadder or similar software.

That's funny, considering someone made a thread about it that you're posting in right now.

its a extreme pro 3d joystick by Logitech
i got it to work just cant get the angles to work with the stick but got the basics done like movement,selecting items hot keys for weapons the f7 list ect

i just know in v5 they had it as a feature that u can use a joystick

idk y they didn't keep it

wish stefan would tell

DustyPorViva · #15 03-09-2013, 06:48 PM

Did Stefan actually remove functionality for gamepad support, or just the ability to change the options?

If it's the latter, you can edit the config file yourself in a text editor.
