Outrageous!
(actually compyx is playing around with joystick mapping things atm.... there is also 2/3 button support that needs proper GUI, and perhaps even a feature to map arbitrary things like in the SDL port. adding autofire on top should be easy enough. later :)) |

Logiker was kind enough to write this AutoHotkey script, work like a charm:
(you need to install AutoHotKey to get it run)
#MaxThreadsPerHotkey 2
Menu, Tray, Icon, c:\windows\syswow64\msctf.dll, 21,
Menu, Tray, Tip, AutoFire
SetKeyDelay, 0, 50
Gui, Add, Text,, AutoFire activator:
Gui, Add, Hotkey, vOutputVar, F12
Gui, Add, Text,, AutoFire key:
Gui, Add, Hotkey, vKey
Gui, Add, CheckBox, vSpaceIsFire, Use Space as fire (and not AutoFire key)!
Gui, Add, Text,, AutoFire delay.
Gui, Add, Edit, Number vDelay, 500
Gui, Add, Button, Default w80, OK
Gui Show, Center w250, AutoFire ;w200
return
ButtonOK:
Gui, Submit ; Save the input from the user to each control's associated variable.
Hotkey,%OutputVar%,DoIt
Return
ExitApp
DoIt:
Toggle := !Toggle
while Toggle
{
if SpaceIsFire
Send, {Space}
Else
Send, %Key%
Sleep, %Delay%
}
Return

That's Windows-only and won't help our Linux, MacOS or *BSD user much.
As groepaz mentioned, I'm working on the joystick code to allow mapping buttons, including auto-fire at some point. This however will take some time, merging the threaded branch takes priority.
Also, since the joystick code is different on Windows, MacOS, *BSD and Linux, this will take some time. I'm not much of a Windows hacker so to me the Windows DirectInput code looks like it'll open a portal to Hell.
So, patience please. I like working on VICE, but I'd occasionally also like to work on C64 code/gfx. |

FYI
I've contacted the "moderators" to remove the trollposts from here, as rules say " if you don't have anything valueable to add to a thread, do not post" they did nothing, no wonder them and an ex mod is doing the trolling. + friends ? |

definition of trolling. all the valuable thing you had to add here you put into ( ) while your trolling was the important part. |

Oswald, please, make another message to mods with list of posts. So we know what posts you see as "trolling", I can't guarantee they will be moderated (very probably not), but at least I will understand what's bugging you here. So far I skimmed through the debate and it seems you guys were getting somewhere, so it's working the way how it should work, more or less.
And yeah, Groepaz is pita. |

In the time it took to you write posts and complain to "moderators" you could have walked to the shops and bought a controller with autofire :o ;) I've never had any need for autofire. I find it useful for some shoot'em up arcade titles but that's about it. I've always seen it as cheating, so, I doubt I'll get much support for that belief :) |
