BZNotifybzflag: macsforme synchronized pull request #255 "Improved joystick support" (https://git.io/JfNqd)08:28
macsformeI can look at EvdevJoystick and WinJoystick, but I'll be working blind since I only have an MFI controller at the moment08:38
macsformethey just need to return the raw readings in floating point format in the -1.0, 1.0 range08:42

blast007the native linux platform code also has USBJoystick and XIJoystick..11:19
blast007I did add rumble feedback to the SDLJoystick class when using SDL2, but I was getting a segfault on macOS when I had specific or multiple gamepads plugged in11:21
blast007(rumble feedback was the main reason for keeping WinJoystick and EvdevJoystick)11:22
blast007directional force feedback is pretty much dead these days11:22
blast007or, instead of updating all the other joystick classes to return -1.0 to 1.0, the SDLJoystick could return the same -100 to 100 integer scale than it used to11:26
blast007that it used to*12:01

allejoyup!18:33
The_NoahIt looks awesome, I'm really excited!18:34
blast007hmm.. just thought of a possible improvement for the Agility flag.  Instead of the unpredictable behavior it has now, have a rechargable boost that you can activate with some key/button.21:15
BulletCatcherAgility is totally predictable when you understand how it works.23:49
BulletCatcherFeel free to create a new flag if you want some other behavior.23:49
