The Wii U Gamecube controller adapter setup has always been a bit weird. It tries to be as automatic as possible to make the user experience as easy
as possible.
The problem with this approach is that it brings a large disconnect in the user experience because you have the Gamecube controller setup with regular
gamepads and then for some reason below that you have a "direct connect" option which will cause the Gamecube Adapter to overwrite the regular inputs
if something was connected.
While this works and allows the user to only click one checkbox to get the device working, it breaks the user's experience because they don't really
know what "direct connect" means and won't look it up to figure out what it is. Just expecting the device to work (At least one occurence of this in
the IRC channel in the last week).
This way around also had the terrible nature of making the code more filthy than it needed to be. The GCAdapter namespace was parasitic and hooked in
to the regular GC Controller SI class to overwrite the data that it was getting from the default configuration.
Now instead we have a specific SIDevice class for the Wii U Gamecube adapter. This class is fairly simple and is a child of the regular SI Gamecube
Pad device and only reimplements what it needs to.
This also gives the ability to configure controllers individually, which allows the user to configure rumble individually per pad input.
Overall the code is cleaner, and it fits more in line with how the rest of Dolphin works.
Lets the user set the following in intervals of 10 between 10 and 100;
- Stick/Radius (default 100,000000)
- Triggers/Threshold (default 90,000000)
- Tilt/Modifier/Range (default 50,000000) + mapped Tilt/Modifier button
to the configurations for wiimotes & nunchuks
If there were two commands in the buffer at once, it would only run the
first because of an error in UpdateInput.
If you sent the command "SET C" it would segfault because of a logic
issue in ParseCommand.
Currently only works on unix, but can be extended to other systems. Can
also be extended to do wiimotes.
Searches the Pipes folder for readable named pipes and creates a dolphin
input device out of them. Send controller inputs to the game by writing
to the file. Commands are described in Pipes.h.
Main Stick is changed to Control Stick and C-Stick is changed to C Stick.
A new ui_name variable is added to ControlGroup so that the UI strings
in DolphinWX can be updated without breaking backwards compatibility
with config INIs and other things that use names as IDs.
Previously, MacOpenFile only overrode anything on OS X; otherwise it was
just a useless method, which is presumably why it wasn't marked override
in the first place. Address this more sanely by wrapping it in #ifdef
__APPLE__.
Using SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK implies SDL_INIT_EVENTS which installs a signal
handler for SIGINT and SIGTERM. There will be a way to prevent this in
2.0.4 but for now we'll need to handle SDL_QUIT.
- Simplified the locking mechanism when controllers were updated
- Reloaded the config of the controls instead of re-initialising the control plugins
- Fixed controls being unresponsive after the Refresh button was pressed
- Disables the hotkeys while the controller config is open
My keyboard layout does not have Alt_R but ISO_Level3_Shift. As a
consequence any control expression containing Alt_R fails to evaluate
completely and is unusable. This modification replace the missing term
of the expression by a dummy expression which always evaluate to
0. This way, the keybinding can work even if some keys are not
available.
We can compile with haptic support, and then not initialize due to haptics not being available.
So if we are compiling with haptics, test initializing with haptics and if that fails attempt to initialize without haptics before bailing out.
I'm not sure when this nonsense of forcing locking the mutex when it's
already taken should have ever taken effect, but let's be thankful it
isn't now. That was a badly worded sentence.
This is good hygiene, and also happens to be required to build Dolphin
using Clang modules.
(Under this setup, each header file becomes a module, and each #include
is automatically translated to a module import. Recursive includes
still leak through (by default), but modules are compiled independently,
and can't depend on defines or types having previously been set up. The
main reason to retrofit it onto Dolphin is compilation performance - no
more textual includes whatsoever, rather than putting a few blessed
common headers into a PCH. Unfortunately, I found multiple Clang bugs
while trying to build Dolphin this way, so it's not ready yet, but I can
start with this prerequisite.)
Initialize now just takes the handle directly. Reinitialize is added because it is much more straightforward in comparison to doing the Shutdown-Initialize manually.
Added the option to handle whether the user wants to iterate through the
assignment of button mappings or assign them one at a time.
fixed formatting issues and code style.
I excluded this option from the config file. This stopped the check box value and the boolean from becoming offset. Since the option should always start as false.
This still causes an issue with the Wiimote input, since the class variable that keeps the state will be wiped, but the check box value will stay the same after closing/reopening without closing the entire Wiimote configuration. I am looking for a way to resolve this.
I also reduced wait time to 2.5 seconds vs. the 5 seconds previously. Seemed to be a little long.
These changes apparently did not go through.
This should fix the Wiimote issue.
strictStrings is not supported by debug libraries, and indeed breaks the build.
Drop wbemidl.h (incompatible with strictStrings) dependency by using SDL-style search for XInput GUIDs.
Yes, this is a fancy new feature, but our Wayland support was
particularly bitrotten, and ideally this would be handled by a platform
layer like SDL. If not, we can always add this back in when GLInterface
has caught up. We might be able to even support wxWidgets and GL
together with subsurfaces!
It was broken by e15ec56bf0 because it wasn't deemed important. However chances are people will eventually start using Dolphin on that configuration, so we shouldn't frivolously drop compatibility without good reason.
It was only used for Windows XP and lower.
This also bumps the _WIN32_WINNT define in the stdafx precompiled headers to set the minimum version as Windows Vista.
We can't use RendererHasFocus for this purpose because of some issues
with exclusive fullscreen, and the new RendererHasFocus implementation
didn't work for non-Render to Main Window cases, since the renderer
window wasn't managed by wx.
This will allow us to simplify the checks for background input and push
them further down into the architecture, into the ControllerEmu layer.
The new setting isn't actually used yet, though.
Do the scaling in the code that interprets the results.
This also removes the templatization of things and changes the interface
to always take a double.
This does add a bit more code to the users of GetState, especially when
having to deal with focus management, but this will be cleaned up very
soon, as focus and focus-related options will be centralized inside the
input platforms themselves, rather than spread out across all the input
plugins.
Most users will have something in the radius or deadzone fields, so
don't bother filtering out 'extra' work. This also lets us clean up
the modifier implementation.
It was only used for really old joypads which we really don't want to
support. If users have these joypads, they should look into using
something at the OS level, as games shouldn't need to have this
transformation; it should be done by the OS and driver.
It substantially complicates the code and doesn't really provide any
functionality. According to the forums, the Android app is out of date
and has been broken for quite a while.
If we want to add this back, I'd write an app that speaks a more native
Wiimote protocol, and we can hook that up to the backend quite easily.
It could even be over our NetPlay protocol!
Looking at the old code for the ButtonManager was a brainfsck. This fixes a ton of bugs I kept uncovering as I was moving along.
Fixes the gamepad configuration file being incorrect.
No longer treats touchscreen in a special way. Ends up as a regular device with a "Touchscreen" device name.
Was incorrectly converting a index from integer to ButtonType. Wouldn't work due to the addition of some unused(in JNI) enumerators in ButtonType.
Fixes an issue where a map had a key as an axis which was causing its binding to be overwritten for every axis that was used twice (eg main stick left and right);
Fixes Triggers not working at all.
Fixes DPad not working at all.
Fixes C-Stick only half working.
Removes touch screen specific nativelibrary types onTouchAxisEvent and onTouchEvent.
Adds a configuration version configuration option. Allows easy configuration overwriting if the options need to be changed during updating.
Supersedes github PR #291.
- remove unused variables
- reduce the scope where it makes sense
- correct limits (did you know that strcat()'s last parameter does not
include the \0 that is always added?)
- set some free()'d pointers to NULL
* Currently there is no DEBUGFAST configuration. Defining DEBUGFAST as a preprocessor definition in Base.props (or a global header) enables it for now, pending a better method. This was done to make managing the build harder to screw up. However it may not even be an issue anymore with the new .props usage.
* D3DX11SaveTextureToFile usage is dropped and not replaced.
* If you have $(DXSDK_DIR) in your global property sheets (Microsoft.Cpp.$(PlatformName).user), you need to remove it. The build will error out with a message if it's configured incorrectly.
* If you are on Windows 8 or above, you no longer need the June 2010 DirectX SDK installed to build dolphin. If you are in this situation, it is still required if you want your built binaries to be able to use XAudio2 and XInput on previous Windows versions.
* GLew updated to 1.10.0
* compiler switches added: /volatile:iso, /d2Zi+
* LTCG available via msbuild property: DolphinRelease
* SDL updated to 2.0.0
* All Externals (excl. OpenAL and SDL) are built from source.
* Now uses STL version of std::{mutex,condition_variable,thread}
* Now uses Build as root directory for *all* intermediate files
* Binary directory is populated as post-build msbuild action
* .gitignore is simplified
* UnitTests project is no longer compiled
