Hi.

Do joysticks work in games created by FPSCreator? I seemed to only be able to use the mouse and keyboard in the sample game. My joystick had no effect at all. If joysticks do work (and I assume they should), what could I be doing wrong. Go easy on me, I am new at this.


I hope this post is double posted, I never saw my last attempt in the posts so I tried again.

Joysticks aren't supported in EA version and won't be in Version 1, either. (As far as we know.)

As mentioned, there is and will not be any support for joysticks so far. Though, it would be a good feature if you're going to sell your games, since there probably are a few that prefer joysticks in front of mouse and keyboard.

One thing to look forward to:
The day FPSC v 1 is released

I doubt that Version 1 will support gamepads, but it might become available in later versions.

Guys, I hate to break it to you, but all the people that I know that play First Person games, do not, I repeat, do not play with Joysticks.

Neither do I. I prefer it the good ol' mouse and keyboard style.

There's a way to make the controls Respond to the Joystick.
The Gravis Joysticks have a way to bind Joystick commands to Keyboard and Mouse keys. You should try it.

I realize FPSCreator is in its infancy and it looks very promising to me. Hopefully Joystick support will be forthcoming in a low numbered release. I think the lack of support of the most popular style of control in gaming will stunt popularity of the game engine as well as games created by it. Personally, I didn't even think to check in the trial if joysticks were supported or not. I had already bought it (non-returnable) before I noticed. I think a statement on its features such as "supports mouse and keyboard, joystick not yet supported" would probably be a good idea. I have no idea how I would break it to people buying a game created by it without it being a turn off though. And the returns and reviews ...

I know some hardcore gammers. They don't use joysticks, it doesn't give them the control they need over a character. In true FPS games, there are typically many keyboard commands, you can't asign a joystick value to all of them...

It would be nice to support programmable joypads ( Logitech make a nice one ), they have enough buttons, sticks, triggers etc for FPS games, like PS2 style shooters etc...
