Script to use steering wheel to control Gameex

[Tempest]

I've been working on a script to use the steering wheel in my driving cab to control Gameex. The script below works well to navigate in Notepad, but for some reason does not work in Gameex.

I have tried:

1. Setting "Use Mouse" to Yes, and No

2. Setting "Cab control friendly" to No

I can navigate using left/right, and up/down on the keyboard just fine, so I don't know why this script will navigate in Notepad, but not Gameex. Ideas?

 

#NoEnv
SetBatchLines -1
Process Priority,,R

BlockInput Mouse		   ; user mouse input is ignored during MouseMove
CoordMode Mouse, Screen	; absolute coordinates
SetMouseDelay -1		   ; fastest action

MouseGetPos x0, y0		 ; get initial mouse pointer location
SetTimer WatchMouse, 1	 ; run the subroutine fast (10..16ms)
Return

WatchMouse:
   MouseGetPos x, y		; get current mouse position
GetKeyState, state, LCtrl  ; Check if "a" key is pressed
if state = D			   ; "LCtrl" is down (left/right)
 {
   If (x < x0)
   {
	   SendPlay {Blind}{left}
   }
   Else If (x > x0)
   {
	   SendPlay {Blind}{right}
   }
 }						 ; "LCtrl" is not down (up/down)
else   
 {
   If (x < x0)
   {
	   SendPlay {Blind}{up}
   }
   Else If (x > x0)
   {
	   SendPlay {Blind}{down}
   }
 }

MouseMove x0, y0, 0		; set mouse to original location
Return

z::ExitApp				 ; stop the madness; make the script persistent

I have posted at AHK forum, so far nobody has been able to help...

Im assuming your steringwheel acts as a mouse?

[bkenobi]

Just curious if there's a reason you didn't like my script?

I wrote it with the express purpose of controlling GameEx with a steering wheel. The only thing I could see it not having is the ability to use the filters. BUT, after spending the time to incorporate that feature (which was in there in the first place), it turned out there were few enough games that a filter wasn't worth it. As a result, I have both the left and right steering wheels mapped to do the same commands. That way, both left and right players can pick games.

EDIT: I reviewed your code and it looks like you are trying to accomplish this with a slightly different approach. I personally think your way is a bit cleaner if you can get it to work. I was trying to include a buffer zone so that the wheel would have to move more than a minimum distance. This was an attempt to minimize unwanted movement (or nonexistent user input).

[Tempest]

Brian - yes, its a mouse device

Bkenobi - I never got your script to work either...it was too complicated for me (no disrespect intended, I couldn't figure it out ), so I tried making my own. Now that you mention it though, my script works just like yours, Gameex does not respond to either one...

I've got AHK installed on the computer, do I need something else? Why does it move the cursor in notepad, but not GX? Especially if you are able to navigate GX with a script. I'm sure you'll try mine when you get time, and let me know?

BTW: It navigates in Notepad really well!

[bkenobi]

Yeah, I had the same problem initially. I ended up getting some help from Stu as I recall. The solution was incorporated in my script, but I can't remember what it was. Like I said before, make sure you don't have custom inputs turned on. I recall those screwed things up with scripts. I also recall some problems with enabling mouse input. I don't have any other programs installed related to getting this to work, so it should work. My racing cab's setup is pretty simple. I'll compare my script to yours to see if you are doing something different from me. Also, I can try to remember to upload my GameEx.ini so you can compare it to your setup.

[bkenobi]

Ok, so the biggest difference I see between your script and mine is the method used to send the key press. You call:

SendPlay {Blind}{up}

where I call

SendInput {Blind}{%NormalUp% DownTemp}
SendInput {Blind}{%NormalUp% Up}

where %NormalUp% is set to the up key.

[bkenobi]

Ok, so I grabbed the config stuff for my racing cabinet. The main files that configure the controls are GameEx.ini, Mouse2key.ahk, and an XPadder profile. I've zipped them up in case you want to take a look at them. I haven't done anything special other than that, so perhaps if you do a diff on the gameex.ini file, you will see an important difference in the setup.

RacerX_Config.zip

[Tempest]

OK - Good news - Bad news....

Good news:

It works! The script included in the zip file was different than the one I had. Maybe there is more than one version on the forums? The version I had of Mouse2key had alot of lines commented out (the whole section for pg up/down, among others.)

Bad News:

It did not work with my config, so I used Beyond Compare, and made some changes to make my config look more like yours. I then went crazy, and deleted alot of the B.S. out of my config (unused emulators, and paths). I ran Gameex, and it worked the first time, but when I shut Gameex down, and started again it crashed. I tried replacing the Gameex.ini file with the same one that ran sucessfully the first time, but it didn't help. I restarted my computer, and Gameex ran again... once. I'm sure I can start over, and get this working, but this doesn't make any sense to me.

[bkenobi]

This is the problem I was having for a while. Things would work the first time. I would quit and load again. GameEx would crash. I found that one or two of the "GLaunchListSelected" items was being set to something weird. I think it has to do with moving the selection before GameEx is ready to move it. The result is that it puts the selection out of bounds (like -1 or something) and when GameEx starts up completely, -1 in a list = crash. I think the problem was caused by the pageup/pagedown part of the code, so I commented it out and things seem to work.

Also, are you using any other programs than XPadder, the script, and GameEx? Perhaps something else is moving the mouse without you knowing about it.

Oh, and with BeyondCompare, you can export a report in html format.

[Tempest]

I looked at your script, and changed:

SendPlay {Blind}{up}

To:

SendInput {up DownTemp}

SendInput {up Up}

As you suggested previously....

My code now looks like this:

 

#NoEnv
#SingleInstance force
SetBatchLines -1
Process Priority,,R

BlockInput Mouse		   ; user mouse input is ignored during MouseMove
CoordMode Mouse, Screen	; absolute coordinates
SetMouseDelay -1		   ; fastest action

MouseGetPos x0, y0		 ; get initial mouse pointer location
SetTimer WatchMouse, 1	 ; run the subroutine fast (10..16ms)
Return

WatchMouse:
  IfWinActive GameEx|
  {
	MouseGetPos x, y		; get current mouse position
	GetKeyState, state, LCtrl  ; Check if "a" key is pressed
	 if state = D			   ; "LCtrl" is down (left/right) 
	  { 
		If (x < x0) 
		{ 
		  SendInput {left DownTemp}
		  SendInput {left Up} 
		} 
		Else If (x > x0) 
		{ 
		  SendInput {right DownTemp}
		  SendInput {right Up} 
		} 
	  }						 ; "LCtrl" is not down (up/down) 
	 Else	
	  { 
		If (x < x0) 
		{ 
		  SendInput {down DownTemp}
		  SendInput {down Up}
		} 
		Else If (x > x0) 
		{ 
		  SendInput {up DownTemp}
		  SendInput {up Up} 
		} 
	  }
	MouseMove x0, y0, 0		; set mouse to original location
  }
Return

z::ExitApp				 ; stop the madness

It works, and Gameex does not crash!

Thanks for the help!

[bkenobi]

Good stuff. Does your code interact with GameEx in any way other than what you send it? If I change themes with mine to one that has the filter stuff in the area where the mouse is 'trapped', it will freak out. I dealt with it by simply moving where I was trapping the mouse.

I could be reading this the wrong way but.... I think what you are saying is that if I have problems, then I should put in the code that you have to place the mouse in a position that will not interfere with GX. Another problem that I assume could happen without that code is that if the cursor was in one of the extreme edges, then the script would not work, because X may not be able to be < or > XO.

You see I don't think you were really asking me a question, because I'm pretty sure you knew the answer, especially since you answered it yourself.

Don't take me wrong, I appreciate the help, and advice, but you pretty much have to club me over the head with something before it sinks in. If that weren't true, then I would have done this:

I looked at your script, and changed:

SendPlay {Blind}{up}

To:

SendInput {up DownTemp}

SendInput {up Up}

sooner...

From now on, I would like it if when you are trying to help if you would begin your post with LJA (look jack-ass), "Insert advice here"

You won't hurt my feelings... I Promise!

[bkenobi]

EDIT: LJA...

Naw, I was curious if your script worked better...really! I was new to writing AHK scripts when I put that one together, so I didn't know all the tricks (not that I know that many more now). If there's a way to get the AHK script to keep the mouse from sending GameEx inputs, that would be ideal.

I was hoping to check out your version today, but my wife and I took the pup up to the mountains today and didn't get back till late. I want to check it out, so when I do, I'll let you know how much better than mine it is

[Tempest]

First off, I'm a little disappointed that your post didn't start off with "LJA"...

I haven't had any problems with my script so far...But as you know, I spend way more time getting things to work than I do playing the games. When I do play, I have a tendency to play on my Tempest machine. (I've been having issues with that too, so I call it "testing".) I found a loose wire on it, which I thought fixed everything, but a couple of days ago it started acting weird again (graphics FU), so I cleaned the edge connectors, and so far so good... What were we talking about? Oh yeah...

I guess I couldn't tell you a whole lot. For some reason, your script crashes GX on my machine, and mine doesn't. If yours works for you, then the biggest advatage I can see with mine is that it would be real easy to convert Left/right to pg up/down with the existing key combo... Or ypu could add a separate keypress for pg up/down. Of course if you wanted to use a key combo, it wouldn't be difficult to add the code to your script either....

I still think the biggest thing is that I'm asking for trouble leaving the mouse where the user left it, but I haven't tested that either... I'll have to put it on my "to do" list.

This was my first script as well, and I started with a script from AHK forums... This line:

BlockInput Mouse		  ; user mouse input is ignored during MouseMove

came from there, and I assume it would fix your problems.

I look forward to hearing the results of your testing...

Edit: I looked up "blockinput mouse" in the AHK help file. I'm sure it was the correct code for the script I copied, but in my script it should probably be "blockinput mousemove".

LJA...

I'll take a look at 'blockinput'. Thanks!

Oh, I editted my last post for you.

I had a couple of minutes to play with this... I don't think that any variation of "Block input" belongs in this script... If you see it differently let me know.

Looks like, for this script, the two commands are identical. I don't use mouse buttons on my setup, so either would work.

I've been playing with the script you uploaded and ended up rewriting mine since it had "features" that didn't work and basically made it very complicated. I also changed the way I did things so I don't have the mouse trapped in a small box, I use the whole screen. This probably won't make a difference for anything right now, but I really want to figure out a way to use this for playing 270° steering wheel games in MAME at some point. In fact, if this could work in other games, maybe I can get NFS going! That would be sweet!!!!!!

BK,

Would you mind taking a minute and explaining to me about the 270 steering wheel issue? From what I've read, you should be able to play 270 steering wheel (paddle) games with a 360 steering wheel (spinner). As usual, I feel I'm missing something, maybe I should get off of my butt, and actually try playing a game?

Copied from BYOAC:

"Most emulators will let you play paddle games with a spinner, but spinner games are generally not playable with paddles, mostly due to the fact that paddles just don't spin that well."

I read that before deciding to go with the 360 cabinet build. I was anticipating being able to play 270 games without any problems. In practice though, the steering wheel didn't work as well as I had hoped. I can't remember exactly what the issues were, if you got off your lazy butt, you might figure them out yourself

As I recall, turning the wheel past 135 left or right would stop rotation in the game (as it should), but when you turned back the other way, it didn't act quite right. I think moved the center of the wheel in a way that didn't feel natural. The best way to go would be to install physical blocks to keep the wheel from turning past 135 each way, but that's a bit complicated. Try a couple games and tell me if I'm off my rocker...

BK,

I don't know what I did, but the script was working great, but now it doesn't! I re-downloaded your Mouse2key v2.1 script, and it didn't help. The strange thing is that if I run the script with the Advanced Configuration program open, it will navigate in that. I must have changed a setting in Gameex... Do you have any ideas?

[bkenobi]

Did you enable custom inputs? I think that might have caused some problems. I'm out of town now, but can check my config against yours tomorrow if you upload your ini. I have to pick up my dog from the trainer, but should have some time to take a look.

[Tempest]

Damn! That was a good idea!

I downloaded your racer_x.zip again, and compared your .ini to mine. I would have bet money that I hadn't changed anything, but obviously I did. Not only did I enable custum keyboard input, but I also enabled keyboard direct input, apparently either of which will stop the script from running.

Thanks for the tip! I have to go now... (and make a backup of my Gameex.ini)!

The last time I'm going to post a link with driving cabs for sale...

This guy is selling two driving cabinets, one has a bad board in it, the other has a bad B&W arcade monitor...$100 each.

I think I've made my point about how cheap it is to have a driving cab.
