Controller support

[bisk89]

Ok, I understand. Is there any way that I can help to manage this issue?

I might have spoken out of turn. It appears that macOS has native support and doesn't use SDL, so that makes the issues I was experiencing worthy of their own issue.

I see you've forked the code. Perhaps in the first instance, compile it directly on your machine and see if it works. I wouldn't expect it, but if there's something different in your macOS version vs. the compiled version, it might expose an issue.

An example of that would be that the GZDoom/Raze devs built the system on Ubuntu with SDL 2.0.8 or something, and here comes me with Arch Linux with SDL 2.0.12 because it's rolling release and always up to date. There are potential changes/bugs between versions, etc that might require amendments within the project.

It will be hard, cause I don't know how to compile

[mjr4077au]

Download cmake and Xcode. Cmake should create a project file for Xcode that you can then open and build.

Unsure whether you'll have any external dependency requirements, but I'm lead to believe macOS development is fairly self-contained.

Any luck, mate?

I really want to do it, but I don't know how. I downloaded 0.5.1 Raze source code, CMake and Xcode, but I'm stuck with CMake, look:

You're on the right path, but you're missing the ZMusic dependency as per the above. ZMusic is available here. You'd need to build it with CMake and Xcode similar to what you're doing now. It'll have its own dependencies which it will list in the output (probably libsndfile, fluidsynth and mpg123 from memory).

Windows and macOS aren't amazing for compiling projects in this regard. On a system like Arch Linux that provides a PKGBUILD (package build) file, it will just sort this out for you. Also, I'd recommend compiling against the latest code in Master vs. the 0.5.1 release. There's a lot of improvements in master that you'll be missing out on if you just compile the 0.5.1 code.

As per some of the earlier posts about the analogue sticks not working, it might not be worth this effort in the end. I believe the issue lays in the code and compiling from source against your machine isn't the fix like I initially suggested. I want to have a look at the analogue input but can only do so when my son goes back to his mum (it's my weekend with him and I like to spend it 100% with him )

[bisk89]

Thank's for the tip, I downloaded ZMusic, and end up with this:

CMake:


Xcode:


I totally understand, wish you nice weekend and have a good time with son!

So had a quick look before tonight. I can see that in some files there's the use of 'in_joystick' to determine whether that's enabled whereas most of the project uses "use_joystick" instead. Making that consistent for a quick fix did not resolve the issue like I'd hoped.

Will concentrate more effort around what CONTROL_GetInput() in inputstate.cpp is doing and work backwards from there. This is the function each game calls when it requests input from the mouse and joystick.

[_mental_]

Here is a shell script that generates Xcode project with all dependencies configured.
Download it, open Terminal, and do the following command, probably with full path to the script if needed.

Code: Select all

sh xcode_raze.txt

It will clone dependencies repository to the current directory, Raze repository will cloned to as well, CMake will run, and Xcode will open after that.
Switch to ALL_BUILD scheme if it was not selected automatically, edit it, and change an executable to raze.app on Info page.

[bisk89]

Thanks for the script, It worked (finally! ). Unfortunately my analog sticks don't work, just like before

great

[mjr4077au]

_mental_, thanks for providing that build script. Awesome stuff

bisk89, from the console while in-game, can you please type 'in_joystick 1'? When joysticks are enabled from the menu at the moment, it sets use_joystick to true/1, however the game is checking whether to get joystick axes only if in_joystick is true/1.

Fixing this did not resolve the issues for me on Windows, but interested in feedback from a macOS user to eliminate an OS-specific issue.

Tried while ago, but just as you thought, it changes nothing

I think I found the problem here.
First, as has been said, there are 2 CVARs that control this, but the worse part is that after migrating to GZDoom's input system the joystick polling code wasn't reactivated again when use_joystick was toggled.

Nice one! Happy to test locally if you don't have a suitable pad at home?

Are you planning to ditch in_joystick? It was the lesser used of the two from my review.
