wow, chickenliver you already made the mod
i'll test it when i get back from class,
but i can only test it using my ps2controller w/ the guitar hero game.
theoretically, it should work w/ the xBox 360 guitar hero controller though, since it's drivers let it act as a normal gamepad..
and i'll also confirm which is the fifth fret...
refraction, does the PCSX2 team plan to change the way it handles pads in the future?
i'd say about 95% of the time you just need a regular dualshock2 controller for games, so the current system should be fine for most games.
but there are some games which you can use, mice, keyboards, guns, guitars, etc..
i'm wondering though, if PCSX2 changes the way it handle's input, it might render the current pad plugins useless w/o a re-write...
------------------------------
EDIT:
chickenliver,
i did some testing w/ the guitarhero LilyPadMod, and for the most part it works great.
but after playing the game, there needs to be some corrections.
1) It turns out the fifth fret is "X" button, so theres no need to modify the Triangle button.
2) It turns out that the Left Analog uses the "Whammy Bar" function in-game. So can you switch the Mod to use the Directional Buttons UP & DOWN, instead of Left Analog UP & DOWN, that way it won't interfere with anything, and still let you navigate through menus.
3) There is a thing called "Star Power" in the game, this is activated by pressing the "Select" key. However, using the Guitar Controller, it is activated by tilting the guitar.
To make this work, you might have to allow the "Select" key in Lilypad, to be binded to an Axis.
This is assuming the Xbox360Guitar's Drivers, count the "Tilt" function as an axis.
And just to give you an idea, below is a description of what every key does when using a dualshock 2 controller/ using a guitar/ and how a user should map the 360Guitar to LilyPad's Keys.
Code:
When I say Menus, I mean when browsing the menus/options in the game
(DualShock2Controller)
dPad - Navigate(Menus)
LAnalog - Whammy Bar/Navigate(Menus)
RAnalog - Nothing
L1 - Fret 2
L2 - Fret 1
R1 - Fret 3
R2 - Fret 4
X - Fret 5/Confirm(Menus)
Triangle - Go Back(Menus)
Square - nothing
Circle - nothing
Select - Star Power
Start - Display Menu Screen
---------------------------------------
(GuitarHero Controller)
StrumBar - Strum/Navigate(Menus)
WhammyBar - Tremolo
Fret 1 - Fret 1/Confirm(Menus)
Fret 2 - Fret 2/Go Back(Menus)
Fret 3 - Fret 3
Fret 4 - Fret 4
Fret 5 - Fret 5
Select - Star Power
Start - Display Menu Screen
Tilt - Star Power
---------------------------------------
(360Guitar -> LilyPad)
StrumBar -> dPad
WhammyBar -> Left Analog
Fret 1 -> L2
Fret 2 -> L1, Triangle (Map to both keys)
Fret 3 -> R1
Fret 4 -> R2
Fret 5 -> X
Select -> Select
Start -> Start
Tilt -> Select
Note: When navigating through menus, the User must press the 5th Fret to Confirm instead of the 1st Fret like the game tells you to do.
EDIT#2:
i forgot to include what tilt does, and how to map it in lilypad in the list above.
added it.
