Customized Controls

[ryeleyg]

I would like to be able to have my brakes,throttle exetra or what ever your case is to be multi functionable as in being capable of having your back brake or whatever it is on two buttons instead of just one


( sorry if that's kinda confusing )

[jason_pama]

Just press the same button for both brakes

[ryeleyg]

cant cause I do that sliding thing like james Armstrong and alec catenberg haha

[ryeleyg]

and what I ment to say I this post to was like being able to have my back brake on the B button and the theft trigger at the same time :/

[ryeleyg]

and then being able to customize that to what ever your layout would be or what ever u want it to be :/

I don't know what your trying to get at, but put your brakes on antilock under bike setup to side less.

omg u guys don't know what im talking about k so u go to setting and customize controls so go in there and u click what u want to change then u pick witch button or key u want to use well id like to have it where I can have 2 or three buttons for just one of those options so for example I want my back brake to be on the B button and the back left trigger but I can only have one button per option

do u get what im saying now ?

He wants to be able to put his back brake on two buttons, left trigger and B. Simple as that

You guys are being dicks, this has been suggested a few times before.

This is where Nate was trying to write a script to do what you're looking for. Maybe ask him if he ever got it working, or how he set his controls up to do what you're looking for. http://forum.mxsimulator.com/viewtopic. ... ke#p477771

On a side note, you can get that slide the same way by downshifting if you're riding a 4 stroke. Just use the front brake to get the back end light, and then bang down a couple of gears and it will come right around. Catch it with the throttle about half way through the turn and it will do the exact same thing as a brake slide.

If you up your English skills from txt msg to semi-coherent, people will take you just a little more seriously and you'll only have to fight half as many trolls

Actually since I posted that, Del went back in there and suggested a couple fixes that he says have been working:

Using a different software I have managed to achieve what you're trying to do. The software is called JoyToKey. I set "B" to the rear brake ingame and configured JoyToKey like this:


It works, but it's not possible to use the front brake at all without using the rear brake. The software has a setting to set joystick deadzone so that you could activate the brake after say 50% front brake, but for some reason these adjustments are only available for the two analog sticks. I think that AutoHotKey will be a better solution if I can get it working.

And he said he got Nate's script to work too:

Sorry I forgot about this.

SendPlay didn't work either (well it did work, but had the same level of functionality as regular Send- only worked in the chat menu). I could never get it to use keys based on the axis position either (even in Windows). Here's what the script looks like now, pretty much the same as before (tried a key delay just to see if it would help, it didn't, also tried using keys again instead of mouse click).

Code: Select all

#persistent ;Keep this script running until the user explicitly exits it
#p::Pause ;Pressing Win+P once will pause the script.  Pressing it again will Unpause.
SetKeyDelay, 0, 50, Play

SetTimer, WatchAxis, 50

WatchAxis:
GetKeyState, joyustate, JoyU

if (joyustate > 50)
{
SendPlay {Click down}
}
else if (joyustate <= 50)
{
SendPlay {Click up}
}
return

joy3::SendPlay {Click} ;Make X button Left Click

I know this is nearly identical to what you had, but it's working for me. I've even went back to the demo and checked.

Code: Select all

SetTimer, WatchAxis, 5
return
 
WatchAxis:
GetKeyState, JoyZ, JoyZ  ; Get position of Z axis.

 
if JoyZ between 60 and 100
{
send {B down}
SoundBeep "300,100"
}
else
{
send {B up}
SoundBeep "425,100"
}
return

Excuse the beeping, it's one of my favorite tools for debugging, haha. Haven't got pressing B to trigger my rear brake yet, but if all else fails I can do a GetKeyState loop. Trying to avoid that because I don't think it's necessary.

I should clarify for those who aren't familiar with scripting, if you want to use this you should remove the "SoundBeep" lines, and to adjust where the rear brake engages you should change the value of "60" in this line:
if JoyZ between 60 and 100

For example changing "60" to "90" means you'll have to have the trigger nearly fully pushed to engage the rear brake (this is what I would personally use).
Doing something less like 20 would lock up the rear brake before the front even really begins to slow you down. Reasonable values are probably between 70 and 100. You will need to install AutoHotKey to use this script.

This script also doesn't include a button assignment for your controller, so it still doesn't function the way this suggestion wants. I was working on it today, I will probably finish it tomorrow.

As far as I know it's not easily doable to have the rear brake analog when being pressed with the front brake, like pulling the left brake lever on a Foreman. AutoHotKey doesn't support controllers very well. The only workaround I can think of would be using mouse movement to trigger the brake (and moving the mouse as a function of the trigger being pulled), but I've never used the mouse as a brake so I have no idea how it works.
