Just as soon as I figure out what the heck a coolie hat is… :silly:

Very little about the game is not known to me. Any questions you got, throw them at me. 🙂

Hello,

Welcome to the forums, by the way! :cheer:

Thanx. I appreciate it very much, that there is still some community around this old games.
I-War 1 is, imho, the best space sim ever. Ok i haven’t played I-War 2 yet 🙂

Oooops thats the 8 way switch at the Top of the Joystick, which is normaly used with the thumb.
Edit: It is also called JoyHat

Right, I checked the stick, and its hat switch inputs exactly the same as my absolutely worthless piece of garbage Logitech Extreme 3d Pro. With that in mind, I opened the config file and added the underlined stuff:

; Thrusters

[icPlayerPilot.LateralX]
Keyboard, D
Keyboard, A, inverse
Joystick1, JoyXAxis, ALT
[u]Joystick1, JoyPov1Right
Joystick1, JoyPov1Left, inverse[/u]

[icPlayerPilot.LateralY]
Joystick1, JoyYAxis, ALT
[u]Joystick1, JoyPov1Up
Joystick1, JoyPov1Down, inverse[/u]

[icPlayerPilot.LateralZ]
Keyboard, W
Keyboard, S, inverse
Joystick1, Joybutton7
Joystick1, Joybutton8, inverse

Tested it and it works. I want to point out that X axis is left/right movement, Y axis is up/down movement, and Z axis is forward/back movement, so you did have something mapped incorrectly there. 😛

Hat switch by default is bound to navigating the HUD menu. You might want to comment that bit out with the semicolon, like so:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; iWar2 HUD commands
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

[HUD.MenuLeft]
Keyboard, Left
;Joystick1, JoyPOV1Left

[HUD.MenuRight]
Keyboard, Right
;Joystick1, JoyPOV1Right

[HUD.MenuUp]
Keyboard, Up
;Joystick1, JoyPOV1Up

[HUD.MenuDown]
Keyboard, Down
;Joystick1, JoyPOV1Down

[HUD.MenuSelect]
Keyboard, Return
;Joystick1, JoyButton1

[HUD.MenuCancel]
Keyboard, Backspace
;Joystick1, JoyButton2

Let me know how it goes. 🙂

Also, you could use the keybinder that I made for EOC.

Oh wait… I haven’t added joystick support yet. Forgot about that.

Anyways, IronDuke’s explanation will do the job, and its always good to understand how the config files work for yourself.

Also, welcome to the forums!

Hello,

great! It works 🙂
Many thanx to IronDuke.
And also to Chessking for the warm welcome.
My next problem is, that i have a German keyboard. That means, a couple of things are different. But with the ‘Keyboard Reference Card’ and a printout of the English keyboard setup, i guess it will be not hard to get used to it
Another Problem that comes up is the zoom function. Originally it is at the NumPad, but my (gaming) keyboard has no NumPad.
I’m trying to get it bind to PgUp – ZoomIn and PgDn-ZoomOut
I choose one of this keyboards, because it is much smaller, throttle and stick are closer together, for me it is a much more comfortable position to sit and handle the controls 😉 Hehh i’m quite old.
Anyways,thanx a lot and have a nice weekend. I’ll be back!

Maybe this will help you, then:

Edit: And here is the other side of it.

Space. The final frontier.

I think the bindings for pageUp and pageDown are BREAK and PAUSE respectively.
