TwinPad Keyboard plugin?

[Rebel_X]

Before I start, I want to know is it alright to modify source Code found in
SVN?

'cause I tried to play some games, which are exclusivly for DulaShock2.
Like Devil May Cry 3, and the fact that I had PSX "like" pad (DirectPadPro)
but it has only LPT aka DB-25 (Like all PSX pads) no USB, and I am not gonna buy PSX-to-USB Adapter, for such a small problem..
I remember some of posts around the ability to play with analog, assign key
values to Keyboard...etc! I posted One my self

if so, before everything I admire PCSX2(tm), Linuzappz asadr (for PadWinKeyb Plugin) and others as well.. the full credit goes to them..

I modified the PadWinKeyboard Plugin so it can Assign KeyButtons to Analog
Left or Right stick ( in 4 Directions )

before I attach anything.. I would like to know if this thing will be
welcome'ed, No Offense to anyone

I understand the point if the Plugin Creator, Admins of this site, object to publish this modified plugin! ***if so, No need 2 shout or Yell, just let me know in polite response! ***

I am waiting for the response? (The Modification and Source will be attached
if its Approved!)

thanx in advance..

OMGZ I BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEWONE TO DO THAT yes you can modifie the source code but... dont make it your own give credits to the ones who made the full code 2 and you must give your source too because its open source i hope you wil

[cyclonmaster]

Anyone are welcome to give some support and advice to the team. Attaching your code here is not a problem.

Yes this is the meaning of providing the SVN for some curious people to try and modify it to something better. As long as you provide source for it, it shouldn't be a problem.

Personally I've also wanted such support.

[refraction]

modified plugins are welcomed, as long as source is provided, we have no problem with that.

we just dont like modified versions of the emulator itself, so as long as you stay clear of that, we're good

Here it is the Plugin and Source

First of All, this is just Simple modification to the Plugin not Plugin release
itself (and I think It wont be an Official Plugin anytime)

To make Couple of things clear here is the Explanation:
=========================================
- Just use it with the First PAD, (I cant figure out curPAD, pads from source)
I will try to make it using the second PAD, but no promises...
- Different name than PadWinKeyboard Plugin to prevent any interference
between the 2 plugins
- It supports L3 R3 to assign it to keyboards not Mouse Dbl-Click
- 2 Analog Sticks, 4 Directions, (At max Value, As if you pushed the analog
to the Limit, can't sense a half press, got the point)

- Different Configuration file "TwinPad.ini" for the Second reason.
- External GUI designed at VB, cause I can design better and faster in VB
(It took for me 15 minutes to build the GUI and CODE in VB, believe that)
But Cant program Windows using VC++, only C++

Unzip the Plugin to Plugins directory, also the "TwinPad.exe" -=> GUI External
from DLL, Normally cant run by itself, USE the normal pad Configuartion from
PCSX2 Plugin Configurations..

And it would be better, if an Official Pad Plugin dev' like Asadr, implement this
so there will be no need for such this plugin..

Of course, all the Credit goes to LinuzAppz & Asadr for the great plugin (Last version was rich in comments )
Finally, I hope, I could bring something usefull, for any1 to use.

Edit: Incase if the GUI can't load (***UNLIKELY***) you will need Microsoft Common Controls installed "MSCOMCTL.OCX" v6.0 SP4 (I think these come shiped with windows), and Microsoft Scripting run time "scrrun.dll" in your system32 directory.. you can find them in microsoft or search the google for these files, (Not implemented for lack of size)

GUYS: See the whole thread as other releases in next pages.

Good job Rebel_X, Going to try it now

[Rebel_X]

good, let me know how it works with you

[Mad]

OMG ill finally be able to play castlevania!
Gonna try it now.
THX a million!

[zeldafan]

when i want to play kingdom hearts with this plugin, the game is VEEEEEEERY slow !

...And it works!! I'm playing FFXII without a pad! Both left and right analog works as it's supposed to and the game goes great!
Thanks a bunch Rebel_X. This'd be a salvation for those of us without a controller for PC.

Thanks for the link, I think quite a lot people may be missing the MSCOMCTL.OCX file, I had to download it myself too, it can be downloaded here for example: http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/mscomctl.zip

Just extract to windows\system32 folder and it should work. If not then also try download this.

Analog movement works perfect in FF12 with the keyboard buttons. Pressing both up and right for example moves the character in the diagonal direction so you don't only get the left, right, down and up movement directions but the 8-direction movement control.

Too bad you can't use all keyboard buttons tho, like would be nice to be able to use numpads for the right analog stick to control the viewing angle, also only letters and 0-9 can be used as assignment keys, not the other keys at least in my case.

Thanks for the plugin.

Hehe, didn't notice this one is out and corrected analog mouse this morning.
Anyway does this plugin support mouse ( I don't have any games here so I can't try I'm just curious ) or just keyboard ?

Anyway admins should probably make this sticky ( or include it in pcsx2 release ??? )

Hint: If the NUMLOCK is ON (pressing a key on the numeric keypad returns a number), If the NUMLOCK is OFF (pressing a key on the numeric keypad moves the cursor) seriously though, you can Open the TwinPad.ini and CHANGE the last 4 lines (corresponds to right analog) to any key you want!
NUMPADs from (0x60 = NUM 0) --- to --- (0x69 = NUM 9)

Thanx for correcting me its 8 Directions in total by mixing keys together!

And yes! it currently supports mouse, infact it has all the goodies and badies found in the original PadWinKeyb plugin..

Thanx all..

i cant get twinpad to work installed all waht i need the .exe file does open too and i can configure all the buttons but when i start FFXII and press enter (for X) nothing happens. the same to alle th other buttons ... how can that be ?
