Happy new year!

This is sort of just a place holder thing to make playing the game less annoying. Soon, I'd like to have proper DInput and XInput support simultaneously. As it stands now, this requires an XInput controller, and will not work with anything else. Funnily enough though, after the update to SADX on Steam, this implementation is better than theirs since you can actually use your d-pad! That, and I don't just full blast both rumble motors every time something happens. =P

Requirements:

• Windows XP or newer
  
• An XInput compatible controller (e.g Microsoft Xbox 360 controller, DualShock 4 with DS4Windows)
  
• MSVC++ 2013 redist (make sure to download vcredist_x86.exe specifically)
  
• DirectX End-User Runtime
  
• SADX Mod Loader v3.3 or newer

What it does:

• Configurable deadzones per stick
  
• Fixes right analog stick (first person camera bug)
  
• Rumble
  
• Extended buttons - LB is Dreamcast C, RB is Z, and Back is D.

What it doesn't:

• ...have keyboard, mouse, or DirectInput controller support.
  
• Configurable controls.

Configuration:
To configure deadzones and the like, create a text file called "xinput.ini" in the mod's folder (as in, mods/xinput-mod, where xinput-mod.dll is). As for the contents, here's an example of my deadzones I use for my DualShock 4.

[Controller 1]
DeadzoneL = 4096
DeadzoneR = 4096
TriggerThreshold = -1

The deadzone can be anywhere from 0 to 32767 (which is the maximum value of the analog axis provided by XInput). A value of -1 means that it will use the default XInput deadzone.

You can also enable or disable radial input using the following parameters. By default, it's enabled for the left stick and disabled for the right stick.

NormalizeL = (0/1, 1 by default)
NormalizeR = (0/1, 0 by default)

And for reference, these are the default XInput deadzones.

• 7849 for the left stick
  
• 8689 for the right stick
  
• 30 for the triggers

To change the controller you're configuring for, simply change the number after "Controller" in the first example (e.g [Controller 1] -> [Controller 2]). You can configure up to 4 controllers because xinput.

Happy new year, This looks very helpful, I'll try it out later!

You CAN use the triggers in the Steam release though... just go into the config and move the camera controls from the bumpers to the triggers.

I suppose you're right. Last time I had tried, it didn't work, but that could have actually been DS4Windows doing its occasional "who needs button presses!" thing. I've still got the D-Pad and not-as-overbearing rumble though (which is still subject to adjustment) =P

Edit: see below

Updated it the day after I released it. Fantastic

I modified this to link with XInput 1.3 specifically which is available in the DirectX End-User Runtime. I also fixed an oversight which would cause it to crash on Windows XP.

That's about it, really.

Bug fix!

With the help of some testers in #x-hax: fixed an integer rollover which--even though it shouldn't have, and I did many tests to ensure it didn't--caused the axes to reverse direction under certain conditions (third party controllers).

I just wanted to say thank you, Morph. I can't believe we've gone this long with only a hodgepodge of a hack to get 360 controllers semi-working.

You're doing SEGA's work.

[ShadowBlitz]

This mod is pretty awesome. Makes it a lot more natural to use a 360 controller. I'm assuming this probably works with Xbone's controller as well, but I don't feel like using that until I can get a wireless adapter for it.

[Morph]

Thanks guys!

If you end up trying it out, let me know if that controller works, ShadowBlitz.

I gave it a try and it definitely does work fine with a One controller. No obvious issues for sure.

Quick update. I've disabled the debug display by request (which would normally appear when LB/L1 is pressed); compatibility doesn't seem to be an issue at this point anyway. The functionality is otherwise the same.

This brings the version number to 1.3. You can grab it from the first post, or from GitHub. If you have problems with your controller, you can use the previous version (1.2) from GitHub as well, and the debug information will be available again. Alternatively, you can compile your own Debug build, but that's not the most user friendly option given that I haven't provided instructions, I suppose =P

[Morph]

Here's another rather minor update.

I may or may not have been handling button presses incorrectly, so I've made it pretty much exactly the same as found in the original (albeit disassembled) code. I've also updated the mod loader to v3.2, which is now a hard requirement. You'll have to update it before you can use the latest mod.

I've also disabled per-controller rumble until I can figure out how to detect if a player is currently AI controlled.

This brings the version number to 1.4. As always, you can grab the latest version from the first post or the GitHub release page. Let me know if I broke anything.

I don't seem to be getting any rumble on my Logitech F710 Xinput controller- the rumble works fine in any other game- is the rumble disabled entirely as of now?
Also- Xinput Button Prompts for english speakers! (DL: https://u.teknik.io/MSktVp.zip)

Spoiler

Ignore that some of the buttons are incorrect in that image- they are actually correct in the download

I'd love to try that out, but after clicking the link I'm getting multiple "Warning: mysql_connect(): No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it."

If you were talking about my button prompts- I think it's because teknik was down earlier- it's back up now.
