Re: [Audyssey] [MOTA] Incomplete Gamepad Support
Hi Kai, Kai Said: 1. The menus (Both main menu and inventory menus) do not properly support gamepad input. When I pres button 1 (the action button), it moves up in the menu, and pressing button 4 moves down the menu. No other gamepad buttons are recognized, and there is no way to select an item. Tom Says: If you look at your game pad you will see a button marked select. Typically this is located just above the left analog joystick. That is used by the game for selecting menu items. Kai Said: 2. When playing the game, the program does not recognize commands via the POV (hat) directional buttons (the four arrow buttons on most gamepads). Instead, it relies solely on the analog stick for movement. While this is understandable, it would be nice to be able to also move with the POV buttons. Tom Says: That has been on our list of things to do for quite a while. Unfortunately, we have recently gotten swamped with so many end user requests that we have had to put that feature request fairly low on the things to do list. Though, it should get done eventually before release. Kai Said: 3. There is no way to run when using the gamepad, so you're effectively stuck walking. Seeing as it uses analog input, would it be possible to make the character run when the stick is fully to the left/right/etc? Otherwise, perhaps another modifier key? Tom Says: I don't want to sound rude here, but if you had spent any time in the User's Guide you would know there is a modifyer for running. Hold down button 4 while moving the analog stick left or right and Angela will run in that direction. Kai Said: 4. You cannot switch between weapons on the fly with the gamepad, but I assume this could be addressed if the gamepad/menu issue were resolved. Tom Says: Again this is an issue that can be resolved by reading the documentation. Press button 8 to get a list of your weapons, use buttons 1/4 to scroll, and select to pick a weapon or item from the list. Kai Said: 5. Related to both keyboard and gamepad input: When holding down the crouch combinations, the program seems to be playing the crouch sound over and over, at an extremely high rate, so that what you effectively hear is a kind of buzz. Perhaps this is only on my system, though. Tom Says: No, that is a bug. I have a pretty good idea what is causing the bug, but am not sure how to fix it currently.

Re: [Audyssey] [MOTA] Incomplete Gamepad Support
Hello Kai, Kai Said: I do, however, hope there will be a joystick configuration tool in the file release, as I'm not altogether sure I like some of these key assignments. Tom Says: For the moment the game pad and joystick support defaults to a layout for the Phillips SGC-2909 rumble pad. So that is why the button arrangements on your game controller don't seam as logical. As far as a game pad or joystick configuration tool yes one will be forth coming eventually. As I have said ever since releasing the first three betas I have been swamped with a mountain of requests for this, that, and the other thing. I can not simply do everything in one release, update, etc. So I am trying to play catch up with Beta 4. Kai Said: I really don't like that I have to use the enter key on the keyboard to open doors and get items (unless there are joysticks out there with an enter button?). Tom Says: Some game pads such as the Phillips SGC-2909 does have a button marked enter. However, you aren't the only person to complain about not having a specific enter button on your game pad, or at least aren't aware of one. For that reason with Beta 4 when you holster your weapons button 1 will pick up items, open doors, etc.Hope this helps.

Re: [Audyssey] [MOTA] Incomplete Gamepad Support
Little by little, stuff'll get done. I, for one, am not worried, and I'm patient. Now, where's! my! game!! (grin) Oh, yeah, beta 3 is already on my PC, isn't it. I figured that would be your response in kidding, as I am. As long as you meet your!, and that is the key word, deadline for the completion of the game, and as long as it is the way you want it and you're satisfied with the product, I'll take it. - - - A taxpayer voting for a Democrat is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders! - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, March 19, 2009 10:33 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] [MOTA] Incomplete Gamepad Support Hello Kai, Kai Said: I do, however, hope there will be a joystick configuration tool in the file release, as I'm not altogether sure I like some of these key assignments.

[Audyssey] [MOTA] Incomplete Gamepad Support
Greetings Thomas. I recently purchased a Logitech Rumblepad II to replace my old gamepad which was suffering from a short in the wire. I decided to test MOTA's abilities with it, and here are my conclusions: 1. The menus (Both main menu and inventory menus) do not properly support gamepad input. When I pres button 1 (the action button), it moves up in the menu, and pressing button 4 moves down the menu. No other gamepad buttons are recognized, and there is no way to select an item. 2. When playing the game, the program does not recognize commands via the POV (hat) directional buttons (the four arrow buttons on most gamepads).

Re: [Audyssey] [MOTA] Incomplete Gamepad Support
Just thinking out loud, have you checked the read me documentation? It gives a list of all the button functions. There is a combination for running listed.
