[Trunk] Joystick yaw deadzone issue

Post by Keeper »

Checking out the joystick axis setups today. I paused the game, set the Yaw deadzone to 0.1 (my stick is really jittery in that axis) and it was fine. I had a little bit of unwanted roll so I paused again to bump that up slightly, and I noticed that the Yaw deadzone reading was back to 0.06. I unpaused to see if the value had indeed reset itself, but the adjustment I had made before still seemed to be in effect. Perhaps it is taking whatever the current setting is and calling that "0.06"...?

Good spot - thanks.

For the devs: There's all kinds of weird behaviour when you take the deadzone up to max - turns out I'd allowed the deadzone to extend beyond STICK_MAX_DEADZONE, which was causing memory errors when it was trying to draw the bars. This is fixed in the joystick_configurator branch on git.

Shall we go ahead and bring the fixes into master? Since the bulk of the joystick configurator feature is already in, I think it makes sense to do that so that these fixes are included in upcoming nightlies.

Sure - it's good to go, I'm just a bit nervous about touching master, being the new guy :)

I've pushed this fix to master, so it should be there in the next build, assuming I haven't stuffed everything up too badly.
