DsPad plugin !!!

[Lino]

Again, i have added only runfunc prototypes.

[NHervé]

ah, okay.

[daco]

since this topic has become more of a public gamepad plugin topic ill post here lol

lino, your plugin works great except i found 2 bugs

1) In L+Left = no go :/ dont know about up or down tho
2) the movements reset itself once you enter the plugin options. so you got to re-set it. and once you think you reconfiged it you notice it didn't save as no buttons were changed lol

but i love your plugin =D

[NHervé]

So use DsPad, it is more flexible, and I tested it seriously, it works prefectly.

Yeah... not counting the the error that makes the plugin totally unusable, but what the heck, right? It still works
....oh, wait... no it doesn't

[Squall-Leonhart]

what error?

don't complain unless your going to provide full details.

[Poki#3]

*sigh*
I already told what error I had, don't make me repeat myself, and read before you start complaining :>

[Squall-Leonhart]

you provided an error message, you didn't provide full details.

full details includes software and hardware environment.

[daco]

i get an error saying can't find a sertain function in dinput.dll but isn't that lino's plugin o.O
im in linux atm so i can't check the details

[NHervé]

If you have errors, download a compiler and see post #227.

[daco]

"the procedure entry point DirectInputCreateW could not be located in the dll dinput.dll"

lol, to lasy to update and reupload?

meh i wouldn't care less as i got VS.NET (with C++)

[Magikus]

thank u it works

[NHervé]

Version 1.6.1 is out, download it on first post. It is for Win32 and Linux.

[NHervé]

There is a Linux version, you know.
I say that because new version doesn't seem to have many success.

[Lino]

Yes this forum is dead.

[NHervé]

daco, your problem is easily fixed, delete or rename the dinput.dll (lino's plugin) from the plugin directoy.

explanation of problem: DsPad is trying to call a function from the DirectInput API, which is stored in dinput.dll (in %systemroot%\system32), but since lino's plugin has the same name and is in the same directory as the calling file, it gets looked at first, and fails to be the DirectInput API, throwing that error.

hence... lino, you need a new naming scheme for your plugins.

I suggest perhaps adding an initial tag to the filename, i.e.
dinput.dll -> ideas-dinput.dll
aud.dll -> ideas-aud.dll
and suchlike.

You're wrong, DsPad does not use DirectInput but SDL, and SDL only wraps WinMM apis.
To get DsPad to work, you must remove Lino's plugin, else DsPad won't show up.
I think your problem is from the Lino's plugin, maybe it's calling itself, and so it's failing.

I'm right, I tried that plugin, it gave me the error with DirectInputCreateW, I renamed the plugin, it worked. This message is from DInput plugin, because it's calling itself. To fix it, rename the plugin.

However the plugin does not work for me, I can map the buttons but the games do not react to input.

This is what I get on ubuntu linux =/

My usb pad works fine with any other emulator tough.

[NHervé]

strange.
