Ok, I did some more fiddling with this, tried to combine the codes from above, but I can't get any signal to the virtual joystick. I am doing something wrong

If I understood right, the first part of the code must remain the same, and at the end I can modify the mappings?

Also I tried with another version from the examples above, the one from DerRaphael, but that doesn't start, it gives some error at line 60 (the one with "static" near the end)

Can anyone help?

Dear all,

this is me first post in this forum.

I followed the instruction from ninjabob7, but got stuck and have several questions:

Please can someone answer these simple questions ?
1.) ninjabob7 says:
[quote]You'll need to install PPJoy separately and set up a virtual joystick with the default settings.
Then just put PPJoy.dll with AutoHotkey.exe, and PPJ.ahk in the lib folder. [/quote][/quote]
Where is the "lib" folder ?
Nether "Program Files\AutoHotkey" has a "lib" folder" nor "Program Files\Paralle Port Joystick\" has a lib folder.
Where shall I create a "lib" folder and put these 3 files inside ?

2.) What shall I do with all the other files from ninjabos7 "PPJoy.zip" ?
There are more files inside: ( "PPJIoctl.h", "PPJoy.c" and "PPJoy.o")
Are they needed ? If not, why ninjabob7 puts them inside ?

3.) I installed PPJoy succesfully and created a Virtual Joystick.
But I dont know how to mapp the Joystick Buttons with AHK.
When I manually doubleclick the modified "PPJ.ahk" file from Mr Elmo it gives me an Error:
[quote] Error: Call to nonexistent function.
Specifically: PPJ_init()[/quote]
[/quote]

How does AHK know, that it shall work wit PPJoy ?
I guess that has something to do with the "Lib" Folder, where the 3 files have to be put inside...
I tried to create a "lib" folder in both directories "Program Files\AutoHotkey" and "Program Files\Paralle Port Joystick\"
and doubleclicked the "PPJ.ahk" from in there, but both give me the same error.
It looks like AHK cannot handle the function "PPJ_init()", cause it is not present.



Ninjabob7 or Mr Elmo,
can you please tell me, what the next steps are (after installing PPJoy and creating a standart virtual Joystick) ?
Where do I have to extract the zip files and which "PPJ.ahk" shall i Use (ninjabob´s or Mr Elmo´s; or both in different folders ?)
Till now I used Mr Elmos "PPJ.ahk" instead of ninjabob7´s from his ZIP File, because Mr Elmo says, that it works with his.
I understand, that ninjabob´s "PPJ.ahk" file from his ZIP is a sort of empty frame, which must be filled out (values, etc), so I use Mr Elmos:

[quote]OnExit, ExitHandler
CoordMode, Mouse, Screen

PPJ_Init() ; Grab the Joystick

Loop {
MouseGetPos, MouseX, MouseY

; Values must be within 0-100 range
YVal := 100-Round(100*(A_ScreenHeight-MouseY)/A_ScreenHeight)
XVal := 100-Round(100*(A_ScreenWidth-MouseX)/A_ScreenWidth)

PPJ_SetAxis(2, Yval) ;Axis 2 is the Y axis
PPJ_SetAxis(1, Xval) ;Axis 1 is the X axis
}

Return

a::
PPJ_SetButton(1,1) ; Set Button 1 True
Keywait, a ; Wait for button to be released
PPJ_SetButton(1,0) ; Set Button 1 False
Return

ExitHandler:
PPJ_Term() ; Release the Joystick
ExitApp

Thank you so much for your ansers.

Ninjabob's .ZIP includes the source for his DLL. Unless you intend on modifying and re-compiling his code, this is of no importance to you, and you only need PPJ.ahk and PPJ.dll.

PPJ.ahk goes in your Autohotkey\Lib folder (You must create it if it does not exist. Look up Libraries of Functions in the AHK Help), and PPJ.dll should go alongside your Autohotkey.exe that is executing the script.

For compiled scripts, you still need the dll to be alongside your executable, which would be the compiled script.

That entire underlined sentence can be taken care of completely if only you include the following line at the beginning of your script: (it includes the dll in the compiled version, and extracts it at runtime.)

FileInstall, PPJoy.dll, PPJoy.dll

So can anyone figure out a way to Send to Button1 on a Virtual PPJoy Joystick?

I want to use it with a reg loop... If a registry key is present hold down this button.. If its not then let go. Worried about timings though.

Please note that this library *might* not work with AHK_L or Autohotkey 64-bit versions!!!!!

[le-mec]

I spent a little time in MSVC and recompiled ninjabob's source code because I needed more than 16 buttons.

Maybe the code wasn't optimized, but as a result of my meddling, the DLL shrank to a measly 7k! I had to export the DLL's functions since they weren't exported in ninjabob's code (maybe he used a DEF file).

32 button/16 axes support

[le-mec]

This code did absolutely nothing
the ahk was ran from the desktop
the dll is on the desktop

(-_-')

Put the DLL into your autohotkey folder. You know, the one that contains "autohotkey.exe"

[le-mec]

Since you figure out how to make pp_joy work, can you send me a simple code just to press the button 1 of the joystick? I tried without success:


#include Lib\PPJ.ahk
OnExit, ExitHandler

PPJ_Init() ; Grab the Joystick

F4::
DllCall("PPJoy\SetButton", "char", 1, "char", 100)
DllCall("PPJoy\Update")
Keywait, F4 ; Wait for button to be released
DllCall("PPJoy\SetButton", "char", 1, "char", 1)
DllCall("PPJoy\Update")
Return

ExitHandler:
PPJ_Term() ; Release the Joystick
ExitApp

Next time don't ask via PMs because others cannot benefit from replies.

If you donate your eyeballs to science I would be happy to help. The preferred packaging method is in hermetically-sealed containers filled with formaldehyde. Please try to keep the optic nerves intact, and don't forget to clearly label each jar with "L" and "R".

L is for the left eyeball, and R is for the right eyeball.

If you are unwilling to donate your eyeballs, or are already without your eyeballs due to unfortunate circumstances such as work-related accidents involving ice picks or due to birth defects, then photographic proof of your condition will be acceptable.

If, however, you are still unable to accept these conditions, please provide a more accurate description of your troubles and attempts than "it doesn't work please help give me something for nothing" and I may try to see what I can do.

Unless you were born in Papua New Guinea.
