blast007when upgrading previous configuration files when launching 2.4.28, should I just enable game controller rumble option regardless of what the previous Force Feedback setting was, or should I only enable it if the force feedback was explicity set to rumble or directional?10:21
blast007I'm planning to default it enabled for *new* configs10:21
blast007previously force feedback defauled to off10:21
blast007defaulted*10:21
blast007kinda leaning towards just switching it to enabled regardless of the previous setting10:22

tuponeit only applies to joystick. I think you can enable it, when upgrading11:29

AgathaPrevious config options should be respected as much as possible. New configs can have any defaults.20:49
ZehraIt depends, if the configuration is bad, it needs replacement, if not, it should be kept, if an improvement, it should be recommended by default.20:51
SpringTankdo not edit previous configs unless it's a setting that is incompatible with newer features or bug fixes and if so notify the user in some way.21:02
the_mapif the user has explicitly *changed* a setting then I'd agree that it usually shouldn't be reverted, but if it's changing the default to a new default then I think that's a reasonable way to make features known21:06
the_mapI mean, in a context like this. you do that in a programming language and people will be up in arms :)21:07
blast007in our case there's no way to know if the user specifically disabled force feedback or just never enabled it21:21
blast007the setting also generally didn't do anything on non-Windows platforms21:23
