Added Deadzone Functionality #16
Conversation
Deadzone and adjustment button combination LT + RT + (LS or RS) + DPAD UP/DN has been added per controller. Current deadzone is displayed in the context menu. The deadzone is implemented by mapping the remaining range of the axis back to the range of 0 to SHRT_MAX. Left and Right analog sticks can be adjusted individually and is determined by which analog stick is pressed down during the deadzone adjustment button combination. TODO: It would be nice if the deadzone would be remembered by hardware serial number and stored in the registry or elsewhere.

Excellent!, quick question, does this provide deadzone for the triggers as well?, one of my controllers has a right trigger that needs some deadzone to work well, would be great to modify that too. |
|
I had considered it, but mine were right at 0 with no jitter and I wasn't sure if it would really need to be addressed. This would be pretty easy to add in now though. I'll work it up in the branch to add to this pull request. |
Similarly to the analog stick deadzone adjustment, the trigger deadzone is adjusted by a unique button combination (LT/RT)+LS+RT+D-Pad Up/Dn. The current values are displayed in the context menu. I implemented this using the same 2-D (XY) deadZoneCalc() function for the analog sticks with one of the dimensions ignored by passing it a NULL *y_outand 0 for the input y value.

Got the trigger deadzone working! Moved the new context menu items around to make them grouped more logically also. |

So fast!, great! now the project is awesome, finally i can stop using XOutput and start using a specialized "driver+program". I hope emoose merges those changes and compiles the new version soon as i can't compile it myself (don't have visual studio or fast internet to download it). I don't know too much how github works but If there's any way for you to post a compiled version while we wait for emoose to actually compile and upload it would be awesome! |

Here are the new binaries, you can drop the appropriate one (x86/x64) in your existing install location next to libusb-1.0.dll. Let me know how it works for you and if you find any issues with it! |

Tested and it worked like a charm! Thank you for your work. Nothing to complain about the deadzone functionality, everything works just fine. As you said it would be good if the deadzones could be remembered (passed as parameters to Xb2XInput maybe?) but apart from that both my controllers are connected and working.. |

Great stuff! Huge apologies for the delay in responding, been away from home/my controllers to test with... gonna take a look at this & #15 now and hopefully get them merged. Also a while back I did some work on storing settings into an ini file next to XB2X's exe too, after merging these I'll try digging that up and see about adding deadzone stuff into it. E: Both are now merged, many thanks! I'm gonna look into adding that ini stuff now and hopefully put out a new release today/tomorrow with these included, thanks again! |
