Problem with LT and RT on the Xbox One controller

[3DH]

Why can I assign whatever I want to the triggers (L2 and R2) on the DualShock 4 controller, but not on the Xbox One controller?

I can confirm that Oolite isn't recognising LT and RT as buttons on an Xbox One controller. However, it does recognise the LT/RT buttons if you use them on one of "Axis" type functions. For instance, the increase/decrease thrust.

Obviously, Oolite doesn't know how to understand these buttons as buttons. I don't have a DualShock to compare, so I don't know how it sets them up.

Now that I've got a setup with the issue, I'll see if there's anything that can be done in the code to fix the issue.

In the meantime, you can potentially use something like AntimicroX, which quite happily detects the buttons and gives you a pile of other options as well. I use this so I can switch between "Missile Targeting" ("m" key) and "Ident recognition" ("t" key) using the one button on my controller.

I'm not interested in the axis.

Can this at least be done through a configuration file? I specifically bought a pad with XInput for better compatibility, and only the Oolite caused problems.

I think oolite uses sdl v1 to detect the controller, so you may have to look into configuring sdl .

There is a file in GNUstep / Defaults folder that should hold joystick definitions (and other things)..

This is the setup I use for my logitech Extreme 3D joystick, maybe it helps. .
axis 1 is roll, 2 is pitch , 3 is yaw and 4 is the throttle.

Thanks.

I've been looking for something like this. I'll have to check it out.

EDIT

It's either impossible or I don't know how to do it. I just want to swap the triggers with the bumpers. The current configuration is unplayable.
