Hey Swift great app bro! I was toying with it last night and I noticed that when im using the "xim 3 mouse" option my mouse sens is alot slower  then using the xim 3 directly. Im playing bf3,Is this normal?

It should be the same speed... that mode just passes on the mouse state unchanged, so it shouldn't be a problem.  Does XIMCommander feel any slower than this does?

It might be worth checking your control panel/setpoint settings, as they may differ from those when using the XIM directly.

My current settings are:

Setpoint:
use os native drivers for pointer speed and acceleration is unticked
angle snapping is ticked
speed is 5
acceleration 0

Control Panel:
use enhanced pointer precision is unticked

Haha, silly me! my setpoint was off a notch. Sorry about that bro. Awesome job by the way!

Windows gives me a "xEmulate has stopped working" error when I try to run it. Selecting ether choice; Check for solution or close program does nothing.

I uninstalled xEmulate and reinstalled. Even uninstalled XNA redistribute downloaded new version from microsoft and still nothing.

Any help out there?

I had a few problems using DirectInput joysticks when I was testing things, and the error was similar to the one you pasted above.

I have just uploaded a new version which may fix the problem. 


Edit: Added a few more things too...
*Updated 21/01

• Added Joystick passthrough support - First detected Joystick only
  
  • X & Y Axis, the first 24 buttons and POV Hat passed directly to XIM3
  • Buttons 25-36 are mapped digitally (assuming a deadzone value of +/- 16500) for the following Axis:
    Z-Axis, X,Y,Z-Axis Rotation,Sliders 1&2 (U and V-Axis)
• Added bind support for holding specific analog values (e.g. bind x +leftstickx 28000;wait 200;-leftstickx;) etc..
• "echo beep" now makes a beep sound -- useful if you are toggling configs and cannot see the screen

I don't actually have a joystick to test any of this with, so if things behave strangely or do not work at all then please let me know!

Thanks, new version works. Rime to have some fun!

[Od1n]

Thanks, i'm also surprising myself!

Have just put another version up with a new "walk" setting, so you can now hold a key to move slower.

I can't think of much else to add right now, so i'll probably slow down spamming this thread a bit

Just a tiny suggestion/wish.

On BF3 when in a ground vehicle with a turret or mounted gun it can be quite annoying and tough to find the right sensitivity for rotating said turret or gun. It there a way to have a button assigned so that when pressed in concert with moving the mouse/right analog stick horizontal it holds the analog command until the button is released. It would help reduce the amount of times the mouse needs to be picked up when executing large degrees of rotation but may cause issues if the XIM "goes black" on the analog control and this button would hold it there until released. Again just a tiny suggestion/wish.

Thanks for all the hard work, everyone.

You can already hold specific movements like the following:

• "bind x .rightstickpositivex" will hold the right stick full right when x is down.
• "bind x .rightsticknegativex" will hold the right stick full left.
• "bind x .rightstickx 16500" will hold the right stick halfway right (16500/32767).
• "bind x .rightstickx -16500" will hold the right stick halfway left (-16500/-32767).

I'll see if I can add a bind to lock whatever the current mouse state is when the key was pressed, if this is what you mean?
