Problems remapping the joystick under Linux. | Locked | |

Does anyone else have trouble re-mapping the joystick? I can run the configuration program in the game directory fine, but the joystick settings don't stick. I change the button mapping, but it doesn't seem to be saving. The resolution changes, however, DO save. Is anyone else having this problem? Ubuntu 11.10, 64-bit. |

I'm having problems but I figured a way to get them the way I want. So using that logic, I wanted: So I set them up like this: And it's working great. Sadly I can't map anything to Map. Hope they fix it soon. Tell me if it's working for you too. We might be experiencing differend problems. |

You can use a really handy app called QJoypad to map keyboard controls to a controller. |

I've used QJoypad before Cave Story got controler support. It's verry handy for a lot of games. |

Ok, don't thank me, but I have fixed the linux DoConfigure source code, so now it is compatible with its windows version DoConfig.exe and the created config file works fine at least for me now with joypad. I have put fixed DoConfig.cpp contents for now here: Pastebin.com , feel free to send this link to the game authors so they will update current version if you know how to contact them, I'm going to try do this myself probably a bit later. Get original source code from this page Cavestory.org - DoConfigure for Linux by Sean Baker, replace DoConfig.cpp contents with provided and follow build instructions (rather straightforward, but probably will have to install at least g++ and fltk devel packages). Also may want to try to download bynary 64 bit buid with torrent from here (not sure if the download will work for everyone - did not try to test port forwarding for torrents on my router): Ptne.net Technical background for the fix: /**
* Action code values are a bit mixed up - on the screen they don't follow in the same
* way they are coded in Config.dat file.
*
* this is how hex dump of the last 4x8 bytes of the
* Config.dat file looks when the controller settings
* are saved in the following way:
* 1=[0]Jump(1)
* 2=[1]Attack(2)
* 3=[2]Weapon+(3)
* 4=[3]Weapon-(6)
* 5=[4]Items(4)
* 6=[5]Map(5)
* 7=[0]Jump(1)
* 8=[1]Attack(2)
* 01 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 03 00 00 00
* 06 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 05 00 00 00 01 00 00 00
* 02 00 00 00

Now let the infidels cower before the blinding power of free as in freedom software! :-) |

I want to propose a better, less intrusive fix: |

I don't think that playing with indexes in this way will work. This might fix the issue when saved values are moved one row up after configurator restarting, but the assigned keys will not work right in the game - because as I have described in the comment above - "Action index" in the list and "Action code" are not the same values in all cases - "Weapon-", "Items" and "Map" while displayed after shifting+1 will have indexes "4,5,6" and their keys will be "6,4,5", so they will mix up in the game, though configurator will look just fine. This could work for "Jump", "Attack" and "Weapon+", couse their display indexes in configurator are same as their codes in the file. |

I have update the install process to include links to it. If you redownload the game you will get the option to run the configure program. |
