Deadzone around edges of joystick, not center?

Post by downtown1 »

Hi there,

I was wondering if there was a way to set the deadzone around the "edges" of the joystick instead of the center. Meaning that once I e.g. bend my joystick more than 70% then xpadder will stop emulating mouse movements.

Basically I'm trying to use Xpadder in a game that has joystick but the deadzone isn't adjustable (Battlefield 3). I would ideally like to use xpadder JUST for the deadzone in the game, and use native joystick input in the game for everything else. The reason I don't want to use xpadder for the whole thing is that there seems to be quite a bit of delay added, I'll stop moving my joystick and it takes a while for my jet to stop rolling.

When you open the Advanced Assignment Window and place a Distance Zone of 70% behind the slot with the mouse assignment, it will work like a Dead Zone as there is nothing behind the Distance Zone.

Here an example, but I guess you need less than 70%:

Code: Select all

;--- Xpadder Profile Data ---
DataType=Profile
Version=2011.07.25
Name=(Untitled profile)
Set1Stick2UpSlots=Mouse Move Up,DISTANCE ZONE 70%
Set1Stick2UpMouseSpeed=32
Set1Stick2RightSlots=Mouse Move Right,DISTANCE ZONE 70%
Set1Stick2RightMouseSpeed=32
Set1Stick2DownSlots=Mouse Move Down,DISTANCE ZONE 70%
Set1Stick2DownMouseSpeed=32
Set1Stick2LeftSlots=Mouse Move Left,DISTANCE ZONE 70%
Set1Stick2LeftMouseSpeed=32
