Thanks for your work evilc, i have been tearing my hair out looking for a way to play Falcon 4 BMS with a joystick that does not have enough buttons. I have read your post on MWO online that "shift" button functionality is on your to do list.

 

This is exactly what I'm waiting for. 

 

Just downloaded UJR but yet to try. I'd like to confirm if joystick hats are recognised? If so, are they detected as buttons? And would it be possible to set up multiple shift buttons in future updates?

Version 3.2 released, you can now remap the 1st hat switch.

If anyone can supply the code to read extra hat switches via dllcall or something, I will add the extra ones in.

No switch functionality as of yet.

I broke my arm recently so I added it in because I needed to use an xbox pad in one hand and the dpad is a hat switch - it was slow going coding with only one arm though, so dont expect any more updates for a while.

Only one hat is recognised, this is a limitation of AHK.

 

If you need a switch mode, do it in AHK code - AHK is able to remap the virtual joystick - so do code like:

 

2Joy1:

   if(state == 1){

      send a

   } else {

      send b

   }

   return

 

2Joy2:

   if (state == 0){

      state := 1

      SetScrollLockState, On

   } else {

      state := 0

      SetScrollLockState, Off

   }

   return

 

Just be sure you are remapping the virtual stick, not the real one!

To check, use "manual control" in ujr to press the virtual buttons.

 

Use this test script to find the virtual stick (Change the 1st number):

 

2Joy1::

   soundplay, *16

   return

 

You will hear a sound when button 1 is hit.

 

Good luck!

Oh, btw that is for a roggle state.

 

For a shift-like state, you would want to use:

 

 

2Joy2:

      state := 1

      return

 

2Joy2 up:

   state := 0

   return

 

but this does not work - the normal remap method does not recognise key up on joystick buttons.

You have to use getkeystate instead, but this is a bit more complicated as it requires a loop to be running constantly.

 

just have a loop checking the state of the shift button, and set a global variable to reflect it's state.

I've got one question. I'm interested on this for the game Phantasy Star Online 2, which has a more or less good gamepad support, but it has many functions that can be accessed much faster by keyboard combinations. Would this be possible with AHK and/or VJoy?

 

To give more information, I want to have certain button combinations dependng on which triggers are being held. Using an XBox style gamepad for clarification, I want to change the functions of the buttons ABXY when I hold the left trigger, when I hold the right one, or when I hold both, for a total of 16 combinations (counting the buttons themselves with no tigger being held). Would there be a way to make it work as I want?

You would use the technique above - a loop using getkeystate to check status of l and r trigger, then setting the state variable as shown in the post above.

You would not need UJR

Thans for the reply! I'll look into it.

4.2 is up

 

I cannot edit the OP, so here are the changes:

 

 

4.2

= Duplicate in profiles was always duplicating the Default profile, no matter what you had selected - fixed.

+ Added Delete Profile button

 

4.1

+ Duplicate profile added.

 

4.0

+ Profile support added.

INI file format changed, there are now two INI files - one for misc settings, one for profiles

Existing mappings are kept and moved to the default profile

Manual profile switching only for now...

Hi, any idea why only the axis worked when I tried manual control with my game?

When you move your physical stick, does the virtual stick move in the windows control panel?

Do the sliders move in the UJR GUI when you move your physical stick?

I get an error when I try to run this script!

When I try reg the dll, I get this

 

When I try run the script, I get

 

 

Any idea, please?

 

 

 

Thanks in advance!

[evilc]

Neither screenshot shows any more I am afraid.

 

You do not need to register the DLL - just keep the files in the same structure as inside the zip, and run ujr.ahk

I've been looking everywhere for such an app. Really useful, in that it works for every controller.

 

The only downside is the current lack of a mask-physical-joystick feature. Other apps need to capture the virtual joystick as a priority! (How could this be done?)

 

EDIT: oh, I think I've pretty much fixed it (under XP) going to control panel ­> game controllers > advanced > preferred device > vjoy device.

I can't add more than 8 buttons, when I go through "Configure vJoy" it crashes if I change any settings

any ideas?

Really not sure, but perhaps try:

 

regedit deleting the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\vjoy\Parameters folder

 

be sure these are installed:
