javascript:insertSmiley('')OK first off Ive developed a robotic simulator that has a mouse and keyboard option, but its meant for 3 joysticks (2 for the arms, and a steering wheel and pedals combo for movement.) I have included code which disables the joystick, anyone who wants to help develop joystick code needs to re-implement and assign joysticks via the control device section...I need a lot of help on this project, and any suggestions, or sample code is appreciated...Ive included the whole program as far on the download button... If you want to help please post to this forum, and include a name you want in the credits, as this will very likely be published to some degree...also include a description of each idea(portion of the project) you are helping with...



This is a list of things that need fixing, or concepts waiting to be produced, feel free to attempt a fix on anything you see fit:


(WIP)

Need collision detection corrected...

Need projectile positioning and firing corrected...
(projectile must fire from the end point of limbs 15, and 21 respectively.)
(projectile must travel continuously each time trigger is pulled.)
(projectile must not only fire in one direction, it must fire respective to the direction of its aiming position.)

need sound effects(tractor,thrusters,cannon, and missile firing, etc)...

need camera to turn correctly with machine hull(no glitching)!!!

build animated tractor system for robot base...

develop 4x port missile system (fire via 4x button on steering wheel)...

use L&R side "buttons" on under steering wheel for "animated dual thruster operation"...

develop "live" HUD overlay system(radar,targeting system,velocity readout,cannon & missile ammo count)...

use top portion of joystick buttons 2-4 for target selection (button 4 via cycle), and ammo type selection (buttons 2&3).

attempt to create an option for POV on joystick 1(Left Arm)...

use joystick throttle for arm upper arm (shoulder) rotational experimentation...

try to change steering wheel stick-shift to pitch top portion of hull up and down respectively...

volume control for music background with HUD indication...(lower right corner?)

sky for environment...

target hit- explosion animation event...

attempt proper analog calculations for more accurate variation in acceleration for pedal press...

voice confirmation system for various selections...(like a "target acquired voice" or "cannon armed voice" during selection phase.)



Thanks for your cooperation!!!javascript:insertSmiley('')

Well, I think it was made for a widescreen monitor, so I couldn't see the map. I could only walk backwards not forwards.

Sorry Pincho, I thought that the display shouldn't be an issue due to the code here:



but if you arrange your settings by altering the code to your specific desktop width and height, it should be no more problem...

also I'm still trying to find a reason as to why the forward movement isn't working for the keyboard...it bugs me, but I think its due to an issue with the joystick commands...

Thanks for your input...

I can't alter the code because JOY doesn't work for me (unknown command), so I have to use the exe.
