Better XBOX Controller emulation [Archive]

-----------------------------

Hi all,

I didn't have much luck with the different methods of emulating xbox controllers on here. Some require you to install drivers that have issues with 64 bit windows, others have very limited control.

I decided to customise the x360ce code to tailor it around dungeon defenders.

I'm not a C/C++ developer, so my code isn't beautiful. I've had to hack my way through it. But it seems to work so far.

If anyone is interested in developing the source code, please get in contact and I'll share it.

So, this plugin attempts to allow you to press F1, F2, F3 and F4 to switch between players to take over your mouse and keyboard.

When on the character select screen, to attach a new character press the F2 key to take over the keyboard on controller 2, then press O to start. From here you should be able to navigate through the menus as through you are on an xbox.

These are the key mappings as they stand:

XBOX Keyboard
--------------------------------
LEFT THUMB WASD
X E
Y F
A SPACE
B C
LEFT SHOULDER Left Ctrl
START O
START ESCAPE
LEFT 1 (heal)
DOWN 2 (skill 1)
UP 3 (skill 2)
RIGHT 4 (repair)

The mouse should function in the same way as it does now (left/middle click).

When positioning traps/towers, you must use your WASD keys to position/rotate it, but you can also press left shift to let the mouse take control of positioning instead.

Installation:

1) Download and upzip http://www.mediafire.com/?uox72nk9vd6co8o
2) Drop the DLL file into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dungeon defenders\Binaries\Win32" or "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\dungeon defenders\Binaries\Win32"
3) Launch game
4) On character selection, press F2, then "O" to enable a character. (then F3, F4 for other slots)

Known Issues:

1) No activate crystal button yet?
2) Switching back to player 1 sometimes causes you to lose a lot of mouse sensitivity [FIXED]
3) Not everything is mapped fully yet!

TODO:

1) Add some indicator to show you which character is currently selected
2) Allow real xbox controllers to be used alongside virtual ones

DISCLAIMER:

Although these seem quite widely used, it's not entirely clear whether or not VAC/Trendy are happy with this kinda stuff. Use at your own risk - I take no responsibly for people getting banned.
The same goes for this DLL - if anyone doesn't trust me and wants to compile from the source that's completely fine, I can supply a copy on request.

Currently only tested on a single machine. Any feedback at this point to whether or not it works for other people would be lovely. :)

I'm sure there's a huge amount of bugs in this because I only made it last night. Please don't get upset if issues aren't fixed quickly - I've never programmed in this language so I'm learning as I go. :)

This should have sorted the mouse sensitivity issue.

Very nice, I'd love to see the source of that, just to see how you did it - and maybe see if I can improve on anything.

But the concept of it sounds great, nice work.

EDIT:
After playing around with it for a few minutes, I've noticed a few problems.
- Press F2-4 to change player, now alt-tab to a new window - the mouse is still locked to the middle of the screen, until you hit F1 to swap back to the first player. (In windowed mode at least, didn't try fullscreen.)
- I'm still getting the lowered sensitivity when switching back to player 1.
- When swapped to a new player, moving the mouse still makes player 1 look around in that direction, can be a little disorientating.
- When swapped to a new player, you can't look up/down.

Other than that, it seems a lot better than the other alternatives I've tried.

My god man, this is exactly what I've been looking for! I will try it when I get home today, but I would like to ask if you could give me the source code. I'm an new coder so I like to learn from reading code, I promise
that I won't redistribute it.

If you could email it to: teodor.spaeren@gmail.com
That would be awesome.

But regardless of that, thanks for something that looks like a gift from the gods :)

This sounds great, but I'm having trouble with it... First of all, it looks like you're supposed to put the .dll in the Win32 folder like the other emulators, not just the Binaries root folder. Then I got it to work, somewhat; when I click F2, I lose control of the mouse. At first I thought that might be normal until I actually selected a character, but the O key (the letter "O") won't respond.

I can click on F1 to regain mouse control, but so far I haven't been able to figure out what's wrong.

Are your keybinds already stored in the dll file, or do we need to set the keybinds ourselves in the x360kb.ini file from the original keyboard emulator?

Yeah, you're supposed to put it into the Win32 folder.

As far as I can tell without seeing the source code, all the keybinds are hard-coded, as it doesn't generate any sort of configuration file. (Hopefully soon there will be an option to customize them.)

That said, I have no idea if Mikee has left the existing code in from x360ce where it reads the file, and could be altering the keybinds based on what is stored in there.

Sounds awesome! I've tried a few other emulation options and only ever been able to have one, non movable player in the game. Okay for leveling up but that's about it. I've just downloaded this so hopefully it works without any problems! Thanks!

Mikee

04-18-2012, 04:33 AM

Yep! Sorry, my bad! It was meant to be the Win32 folder.

I was having a couple of problems with this myself last night and mouse movement wasn't working correctly - I'll have a go at fixing it all tonight.

I'll put the source code up on GitHub - It'll be quite embarrassing because it's completely hacked together, but hopefully someone can help out a bit.

Regarding key customisation - It's something I stripped out to make it easier for myself with my limited knowledge of C/C++. I'll put it back in (albeit altered slightly) once the rest of the plugin is working as I'd like. :)

Any idea what would cause the F1-F4 selection keys to work, but not the other keys, like O? That's where I'm stuck right now. I made sure to overwrite my old .dll with yours, and I also deleted the x360ce.ini file from the original emulator.

Could it have something to do with my OS being Win 7 64-bit, as opposed to 32? (Just for the hell of it, I threw the dll in the Binaries\Win64 folder as well, but no luck...

I can change the mouse possession with F1 to F4, but the letter O (nor any others) work to add a character in. Regardless, thanks for making this; it's gonna be a lot more convenient than the standard emulator!

Mikee

04-18-2012, 06:38 AM

No, I'm not too sure actually.

Try this testing program to see what's happening:

http://www.mikeefranklin.co.uk/xinput_test.zip

Just extract that folder onto your desktop or somewhere and run XInputTest.exe

Now press F2 (which is "Controller 1") and try a few keys like O/A/S/D/W and the mouse. See if that picks up any key presses.

Similarly, F3 should map to "Controller 2" and F4 should map to "Controller 3". Controller 4 shouldn't have any mapping.

WaxPaper

Mikee, just tested it with the xinput_test app (used your dll in the folder), and it seems to be working fine with that... F2 is Controller 1 and so on, just like you said...

Maybe this has something to do with it... Every time I was trying to test it before, I was in the character selection screen and I had already selected a first character for the "Character 1" spot... So I was trying to use the emulator to bring in a second character into the selection screen. F1 would give me control of the mouse like it should, while F2 to F4 would take control of the mouse (again, like it should), but the O key for Start wouldn't work... Although according to this test app, it's registering fine.

I'll get in there and try again; maybe it doesn't work if I already have a first character selected or something... Thanks for the help thus far...

EDIT: Nope, there was no difference if I had already selected the first character or not. Really odd here; I can't imagine why part of it's working but it won't register the Start keybind. Eh, it might be worth a game reinstall... ;)

04-18-2012, 08:08 AM

So I just tested it out then and it mostly works for me. The only problem I have is the mouse not taking over for player 2/3/4 when I use the F2/3/4 keys. While I can control those characters with the keyboard, the mouse still moves player 1 around. Still, this allows me to reposition characters relatively easy. Would love to see a version with the "Activate Crystal" button in tact!

Edit*
I just tried it out with the test version you posted, and now the mouse works. Great work!

Also, I'm Windows 7 64 bit, and I brought the second/third/fourth characters in once I was already in a game rather than at the character select game.

I just tested it out and it works like a charm, but it has a few bugs. Nothing really new, but when i first started up the sensetivity was really low on character one and when i tabbed out the mouse no longer followed the selected character, but the main one.

I can't wait for the bug fix and I hope that your future software for DD will be as good as this one :)

Really nice work, i searched exactly this, just one thing anoying me.
The sensibility of the controler affect my mouse speed like everybody, but can you just make a txt file were we can adjust the sensibility? In mouse and pad mode the sensibility is really too slow for me.

Sorry if my english is bad and i'll hope you can do something about that.
And thanks again for your great job.

Hey Mikee, just had one more thought that I wanted to share in case it helps you debug the issue that some of us are having... Could the problem have anything to do with the "hook mode" you're using?

Previously, when I've used either x360ce (for generic controllers) or x360kb (for the keyboard), they always worked with whatever the default hooking mechanism was, and both of them would give me that notification beep when I launched DD to announce they had initiated...

With your dll, I don't get that beep. Could that mean it's not hooking correctly? And maybe the F1 to F4 keys don't rely on the hook, which is why they work for me but nothing else does? Anyway, it's just something I thought of while using the testing app again and reading the through the official website... Thanks again for all your work, this will be a long-overdo tool for the DD community!

It doesn't beep because I removed the line of code that makes the beep noise :)

I'm wondering if it's something to do with your F-keys. Maybe some alternative-function mode on your keyboard or something which I can't replicate.

As an experiment I'll add the bindings to 1,2,3,4 on the keypad too, so we can see if that fixes it.

(sorry, haven't worked on this yet tonight. heads in another thing!)

No rush, no problem... Just to confirm, the F1 to F4 keys are the only part that works for me (it's the other keybinds which do noting, like "O" to Start), even though I can see them working in the tester app. Just wanted to make that clear, because the way you were talking about offering the 1 to 4 as alternate keys, it seemed like you thought the function keys weren't working.

The only reason I say "they work" (besides them working in the testing app) is because in-game, if I press F2 to F4, my mouse cursor disappears like it should, but none of the other keybinds work. I can gain back control of the cursor fine though, just by pressing F1.

Is it possible to make us able to adjust the hotkeys through a cfg file?

I ask because I don't use wasd, I use esdf, in fact I've remapped a lot of my keys.

The mouse is sluggish for me, even with just the 1 character. I can tell even from the startup screen. Tracking isn't too bad, it's adjusting the camera that's killer.

Okay, I might have figured out the problem I was having, because now the controls seem to be working and I'm able to hit "O" for Start, to join a game when F2, F3 or F4 is selected...

If anyone was having the same problem as me (the function keys worked to change virtual controllers, but no other keys would work), try removing these files from the following folder:

Files:

XInputDotNetPure.dll
XInputInterface.dll

Folder: \Steam\steamapps\common\dungeon defenders\Binaries\

My problem was that although I removed files related to previous emulators (x360kb and x360ce) in the "Binaries\Win32" folder, I never noticed that the above-mentioned files were also leftover in the root "Binaries" folder, and they must have been what was interfering.

Just wanted to share this with people having a similar problem...

Cheers!

I don't know if that's a good idea, since those are files provided by Trendy I believe. What I found to be the issue was that the link posted on the first post and the compiled version on GitHub (also in the tester app) are different versions. Try using that version, also I believe it only works fullscreen?

And I'm not completely sure, but I think the dll doesn't hook properly if you change it often (or I was imagining things) due to steam cloud or some other unknown issue.

Best of luck getting this working, it's worth it :) (after fixing the mouse lag issue anyway)

Well, I just moved them into a backup folder, so I can restore them if need be. Good point though...

This is strange; I downloaded the newer file from GitHub that you mentioned (different checksum and it's smaller in file size), but despite being newer, that dll didn't work for me at all. I used fullscreen mode just in case, but no luck. In fact, that newer one doesn't even seem to be hooking, because the function keys wouldn't even respond to change the mouse control, let alone the other keybinds.

So the newer one is working for you, though? The one that's 79 KB with a CRC of 3fa29356? Hmmm...

I really hope Mikee can get some help for this, because it's a great alternative to the other methods available.

EDIT: You might be on to something about that Steam Sync thing... I tried the newer dll one last time, and this time it worked. In both full screen and windowed mode.

The only thing is -- and I didn't realize this until just now -- the mouse control seems to stay with Player 1 no matter what, even though another controller is selected and the rest of the keybinds are working... I can make other characters enter the game, use A and B and walk around using the WASD keys. But the mouse stays fixed in the center of the screen, and the LMB and RMB still control Player 1, not the character that you have selected with the Function keys. So you can't look around using the mouse... And you're supposed to be able to do that with this, right?

fatalazn

04-20-2012, 03:44 AM

That's actually a really strange glitch you mention that the LMB and RMB control player 1 but WSAD and other keys control the other character. I actually recompiled and edited some code to fix the mouse sensitivity issue, and I also PMed Mikee about it, but I don't know why yours has that glitch. It may be cause of the files you removed? Also make sure your UDKInput.ini file is default, cause that can also mess with some stuff.

2 things I still notice however. When going to the second hero, the mouse movement is very sluggish and you don't have the full range of motion you should. Also when going to the second here, the mouse movement is still happening on the first player.

Other than that, this compile has fixed my biggest issues. Thanks!

So I need to take back my last statement. Seems it works in windowed mode only if you start out in full screen and then switch to windowed. Mouse controls are still very slow on P2 and mouse movement still happens on P1 when controlling P2.

Yeah, I know those bugs exist, and moving the mouse in p1 doesn't make a big difference, if you have a mouse where you can change the hertz that it refreshes at, setting it at a lower speed will improve the slow sensitivity issue. Until there's a new way to hook the mouse to the game, or to make it more efficient that either me or Mikee or someone else discovers, there's not really much you can do about it.

The fullscreen thing is something I'll eventually look into... But I've never done WinAPI or C++ much before, so no hopes up there. :)

You know you have to hit F2 then hit "O" to bring up the character screen.
Then hit F1 to go back to the main controls.

This worked flawlessly for me yesterday w/o any tweaking/changes or modifications...

WaxPaper

04-26-2012, 06:46 PM

This is buried earlier in the thread, but as fatalazn proposed (and I confirmed, at least on my end), there could be something screwy going on with Steam's syncing of game files, even though you wouldn't think that would affect a .dll file simply dropped in the folder. Basically for me, whenever I dropped a new .dll file (a newer or older version of this emulator), it sometimes wouldn't "take" until 20 or 30 minutes later, or after a dozen or so launches/exits of the game client.

I don't know why this is, or if it really is a problem related to the way that Steam saves and syncs things like local .ini and preferences, but all I can say is that there seemed to be no rhyme or reason why it would suddenly just "start working" after a while...

So if it isn't working for you after the first time you download it, leave it in the folder for a while and keep checking to see if it's working throughout your next dozen game launches, or after a few hours. You'll know it's working if you press F2 through F4 anywhere (even the title screen) and you lose control of the mouse cursor (usually it fixes itself in the middle of the screen). You can regain control by pushing F1.

As for fullscreen vs. windowed, it works in both for me, and I never found one or the other as a determining factor in whether or not it's working. When I earlier described the files initially not working for me, they wouldn't work in fullscreen or windowed. Then when it started working, it would work for both.

Have the mouse issues been corrected? Is there any changes to the procedure from the OP?

From my personal experience no. I've been using emulation for 3 months now without any issue. Unless VAC is really slow (hint: it isn't), this is totally legit. As for Trendy their issues are with item hacking, not emulation by a long shot.

I had the same problem as you for a while. Apparently it was because I had an actual usb controller plugged in. It was not compatible with the game, but was apparently locking out players 2-3 from working correctly using this emulation method.

You can change the functionality of the C button to "DropAllMana" instead of the CallOutOn functionality in the configuration file "UDKInput.ini" in your Dungeon Defenders directory. There are examples of this and instructions on other emulator threads.

Getting more advanced, but not really hard, you can recompile the code to change the bindings to be able to use G for start and M for drop all mana.

Mikee, fatalazn, any thoughts on an alternative means of isolating input? Like, stopping mouse movement from affecting player1 when you're controlling another pad? I see that you're already mitigating the leakage by using WH_MOUSE_LL instead of WH_MOUSE, but can you think of a potentially leak-proof method?

Are hooks the only way to intercept input? I'm barely getting my head around your source and the x360 source, so nothing is obvious to me.

fatalazn

05-10-2012, 04:41 AM

So I've been making modifications to the x360kb version of the dll for gits n shiggles. I'm neither a dev nor familiar with c++ / winapi / directx / xinput, so it's slow-going.

Re-reading through the thread, it sounded like at some point you wanted better mouse sensitivity. Are you still looking for another approach? At least for my re-write, mouse sensitivity's not a problem. I basically just followed http://www.directxtutorial.com/tutorial9/e-directinput/dx9E2.aspx and used directinput. This approach is sensitive enough that I have to throttle the input to Gamepad.sThumbRX to 25000 instead of the max size of short. Very few lines of code, and you can get rid of the cursor coordinate math.

...currently trying to wrap my head around your hooks 'cause I want to consume keystrokes instead of having them seep through to the game all the time.

Thanks for putting the source online!

Ah, that's an interesting approach, have you got the mouse and controller working with direct input? I didn't look much into this, since it functions decently well for me. The hooks are just a callback that keeps getting called in order to read some input from the mouse or keyboard. Surely this code could be improved, but neither me nor Mikee are experts with WinAPI. :)

If anyone gets around to doing this, can you upload your .dll file somewhere and post the link so that we can download it too? Those are a couple things that I wish I could do when using this emulator; drop mana and ready-up...

Cheers!

I did actually do this, and here is the dll: http://www.mediafire.com/?bu8sj8fh93ft3sz

And the modifications to the UDKInput.ini file:

Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_B", Command="DropAllMana")
Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_Back", Command="ActivateCrystal")

Hmm, to be honest, I didn't mind the movement of player 1's mouse, since it didn't harm me much. And since I don't play this game much anymore, it's not much concern to me right now. I will look into using DirectInput though, since that seems like an interesting approach to make this more efficient since the hooks aren't the best way to do this by far.

Mikee

05-10-2012, 04:45 AM

Kendd: I think the issue regarding mouse sensitivity was that the locked mouse coords were not resetting back to the original place once the hook let go.

Regarding stopping keystrokes going through to the game: set up a WH_KEYBOARD hook, then in your hook code simply don't call CallNextHookEx. This should stop the message getting any further.

Mikee

05-10-2012, 04:50 AM

Personally I want to do a real hook into the Virtual method table to do REAL modifications and rewrite that part of the game so that it really allows multiple keyboard players.

I have the code (to locate/hook/overwrite, at least), but unfortunately it'd definitely be vac bannable.

The B key is still the B key, just press M instead of C.

Just saying it stopped working doesn't help much, just go back to the old one.

I guess I did forget to mention but, DropAllMana button is M and ActivateCrystal button is G in the new version.

Cool, thanks man... Just out of curiosity, since you mentioned the UDKInput.ini file, does this mean that ini file will still work with these modded .dlls (like, if an .ini is present, will that override the hard-coded settings)? Or were you just referencing it as in, that's what you changed in the hard-coded version?

I'm about to try this out so I guess I'll find out soon enough, but I was also a little confused about the keybinds, like the "Back" keybind for readying-up... I see that a few posts later, you mention that "B will still work as B" but you said to use M instead... Okay lemme rephrase this to simplify things for other readers as well; are the keybinds for dropping mana and readying-up two new, previously-unused keys, or did you switch them around, meaning that the keyboard letter "C" is no longer the Xbox controller equivalent for the "B" button?

Sorry for the confusion... Cheers!

Uhm, given that Xbox controller doesn't have a "G" button, and some of the buttons are hardcoded to do a specific function for some reason unknown to me, I used the xbox B button and the xbox Back buttons for dropping mana and activating crystal. C is just changed to M and instead of Calling out, it drops mana. It's really simple, just use it and you'll understand what I did. No need to confuse people.

WaxPaper

05-10-2012, 09:16 PM

Sorry about that; I haven't been a console player since the SNES days, so I'm pretty unfamiliar with controllers and I wasn't even thinking in that line of thought (I thought "Back" referred to the keyboard's "Backspace" key). Lol... Sorry.

kendd

05-10-2012, 11:10 PM

have you got the mouse and controller working with direct input?
I do have it working, but you're already using direct input for the keyboard, since that was x360ce's method. I stumbled on the direct input for mouse because I was reading the linked tutorial to get a handle on what x360ce was doing. Thankfully, the "next" link was dealing with mice, which I wanted to do anyways. I like the DIMOUSESTATE approach because it spits out relative mouse movement, which gets rid of the need to do cursor math.

I didn't mind the movement of player 1's mouse
It doesn't bother me much either. I guess I'm more curious about why some mouse input still gets to the application despite there being a hook that isn't passing the message along. That doesn't make sense in my head, so it has been bothering me. I must be missing something. ...well, my understanding is full of holes, but this hole in particular has gotten under my skin.

the hooks aren't the best way to do this by far
I don't know enough about this stuff to understand the performance impact of hooking, but I wound up having to hook anyways to prevent player 1 from moving around (I really like this x360dd method of using the same keybinds for all input methods). I tried removing the mouse hook in my implementation, but I found player 1 receiving 100% of the mouse input of my activity on controllers was really annoying.

the issue regarding mouse sensitivity was that the locked mouse coords were not resetting back to the original place once the hook let go.
Ah cool. I was wondering why mouse sensitivity was seeming fine for me when using x360dd. You must've had that fixed before I started using it. Sorry dig up something that was already dealt with.

Regarding stopping keystrokes going through to the game: set up a WH_KEYBOARD hook, then in your hook code simply don't call CallNextHookEx. This should stop the message getting any further.
Yar. My inability to figure out how to do this on my own (from the x360kb source) was what made me look for your source code. I basically had player 1 completely marionette-ing around when I was *trying* to handle input on the controllers.

Personally I want to do a real hook into the Virtual method table to do REAL modifications and rewrite that part of the game so that it really allows multiple keyboard players.
I have the code (to locate/hook/overwrite, at least), but unfortunately it'd definitely be vac bannable.
Oooh sounds like some really fancy kung-fu! It's too bad that this sort of functionality hasn't been rolled into the PC version already, and that playing with it implemented more directly would probably be vac bannable.

Randomly, when controlling characters 2-4, keyboard commands are also sent to Character 1. I'm aware the mouse events are sent to P1, but as everyone notes, that doesn't really matter. When the keyboard commands derp out though all manner of crazy 'Where is he going' situations arise. Has anyone else noticed this, or am I just cursed.

Hey man, sorry to bring this up again, but after trying out this version of the dll, I can't get the "Activate Crystal" to work... The "Drop Mana" key works, but pressing "G" doesn't ready-up.

However, is that what you intended? Because it looks like you tied it to the controller key "Back" which of course isn't on a PC keyboard (just in case it meant the "Back" direction, I tried the keyboard direction keys, both WASD and the arrow keys).

Am I still missing something? Thanks man.

Looking at the crystal and pressing E will activate.

kendd

05-13-2012, 07:47 PM

"Back" is an xbox 360 controller button. Look for it in your udkinput.ini file.

If:
* You are using fatalazn's dll AND
* that dll has "back" bound to the G key

You still need to make the "back" key on your pretend xbox 360 controller to issue the "ActivateCrystal" key.

There's an emulator thread by pedrogush that puts it in more words if you feel like that might help you grasp the concept more fully. Took me a while too, in all honesty.

The emulator's config (hard coded in this case) maps keyboard buttons to x360 buttons. udkinput.ini maps x360 buttons to actions in-game. You can generally leave udkinput.ini alone, but since ActivateCrystal is bafflingly not keybound by default, you have to touch udkinput.ini in order to gain that functionality.

So it's probably already been mentioned but today I found a nice helpful bug. If you switch characters while holding down the attack button the character will keep attacking. Even when you switch back. Works for all classes including Barbarian with both weapons. So you get autofire until you either hit the button again or bring up the window to type. Even repairing/upgrading just stopped it as long as you're actively casting, right back to shooting when finished.

Don't actually need another char in to do it, just hitting the button to control them works.

I did :(. I can move my char around. I put in the bindings in that input thingy. But no key that I press wherever on my keyboard does the activate when i stand at a forge so that i can switch the character during the moment that i'm inside of the tavern.

Or I must have forgotten to put in some changes somewhere...

follow the instructions on page 10 lol

copy pasted...

And the modifications to the UDKInput.ini file:

Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_B", Command="DropAllMana")
Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_Back", Command="ActivateCrystal")

oh that... I did that. I thought that there maybe was another notepad thingy that set xboxtypes_B as a specific key cause. Or well the key I'm actually looking for is useactivate... My mouse does not activate or whatever when i'm in controller 2 or 3 or 4. Only when I'm controller 1. And i can't find any other keystroke on my keyboard where another key acts as activate. I even pressed B but it doesn't change the char like other people suggested.

So yeah i'm at a loss.

f1-f4 determines who you are using currently. mouse doesnt do much for anyone but f1 (standard controls) Idk I may be readin what you said wrong Im tired lol

the xbox B key = m
to proceed to next wave = g

idk if that answers it or not lol

Wally

07-09-2012, 11:53 AM

you might have read it wrong.

All i want to know is when i choose my xbox emulated controller to be a monk, how I can change him from a game into a hunter or apprentice or... I haven't found a specific key to be able to use the forge to change this.

I can change it for my f1 character, but not for my f2, f3 or f4 character. And that is what i want to know.

you would think, I am under the impression that additional pets for local players are hit with crappy stats 100% of the time so is better for mana farming and friends and having the builder active if you want to dps, not worth messing with all this if you think you have double the chances of getting a good pet

I dont know why it isnt working at all, but it's never going to work with physical controllers without some more effort. It's either one or the other.

Try verifying game cache through steam.

Got it to work! after revalidating.

New problem though when ingame and I switch between charachters using F2+o etc. each time I do so, the escape window popups for every charachter :S. Which means I cannot play because I have to switch to charachters to turn off escape windows and press resume game..

EDIT
Nvm I was noob ;D

EDIT2:
hard to control camera as non 1 player, when I leave game as 4th player game because kinda stuck and freezes I lose the controll of the game.

Doing this kinda got the dll to work, F2 and F3 would take control away from the mouse, but only F4 would allow me to hit O and start a second character. Also the binds were messed up for me or something, dunno what was wrong.

1. The G button brings up my inventory. It does not ready up.
2. Occasionally, my 1P spams 'g'. When I press tab (the talk key), it is flooded by gs. When I open the console (f1), it is flooded by gs.
3. M 'calls', it does not drop mana

I'm using the .dll from page 10. Does anyone have any suggestions? Other than that, this works perfectly and great and I could not be happier. Thank you for your hard work :)

If you verify files with steam the udkinput.ini and other config settings get reset. So you will have to redo the changes on page 10 to make g key work again.

I'm not completely understanding this, I have a pc usb adapter to use a wireless Xbox 360 controller on my PC with the drivers from Microsoft. All the buttons and analog are mappable to nearly every game I play. However with Dungeon Defenders, it's not mapping the analog sticks.. anyway to fix this?

Edit:
Sorry just realized this is about strictly emulation, and my issue is fixed, have to start DD with controller on and hit default for controller mapping and all buttons will work JUST like in the xbox for steam. It's great! The microphone port even works too! Too bad chat pad doesn't.

You are pressing f<2-4>, and then pressing the letter O (<- Start button)? Also, if you hit f1 your PL1 should go back to normal sensitivity. It seems the mouse movements weren't completely removed from P1 when switching to other characters.

Also, do a verify :p

well, i managed to press f2, but when i do, the mouse cursor sticks in the center of screen and won.t move, then i press "o" and nothing happens. i got press f1 again to go back and make it the mouse move, is it suppose to open a new game tab automatically or what is it supposed to do?

well i found out what was the problem, i was playing in window mode, if you also play in window mode it will only work a few times.

so start the game on full screen by going config instead of starting the game and put fullscreen, save and all ****, then launch the game, once you launched, you can either play fullscreen or if like me you need to use windowed mode, just on options unseleck(diseleck) i dunno not good at english, just click on the circle before the fullscreen to discable fullscreen press OK, and then you're on fullscreen and have it working :)

I downloaded the file, and dropped it into the respective folder. Then went to try it and nothing happened. I feel I am missing a few steps, if someone could clear this up it would be most appreciated.

There's two files needed IRC. A dll file and an ini file, both of which go into \Steam\steamapps\common\dungeon defenders\Binaries\Win32

Try this (http://www.mediafire.com/?l08j08swlpy80l7) which is what I use and is known to work. It is set up for two extra controllers, one on the numpad (num0 is start) and one on KL:O (Home key is start).

The controls are laid out in a fairly reasonable fashion and should have nearly every button mapped (dpad is not, but the wheel menu is accessible; (num9 and P, respectively). Open up the ini file to view/edit the mapping.

I've actually been running with a Logitech joystick since then, but I only brought it home because I couldn't find a working emulator dll prior (and keep using it because it's slightly easier to use, even if my muscles aren't accustomed to a three axis stick).

Once he found that though, it worked for him, and I tried it just to see if it worked for me (it did), so it should work.

The setup I have in that zip is for two toons, not three, but they do all have movement and camera controls. I didn't map the D-pad, but the wheel menu is available.

In order to "G" you would either need to walk them up to the crystal, or tweak the UDKInput.ini file in \UDKGame\Config\ to remap one of the xbox controller inputs to be Command="ActivateCrystal"

LeftThumbstick and RightThumbstick are good choices (they're the XBox push-to-talk and show-map binds respectively) although you'd have to add those inputs to the x360kb.ini file yourself.

I believe it'd be "Left Thumb=[KEY]"

I've just started using this, and while it is extremely useful, I'm having a couple of small issues, primary of which is the mouse sensitivity issue. Its fine for player 1, but switching to any of the other players and it slows right down for them, while player 1s camera still moves at the same time and normal speed. Not a huge issue though.

But is there any way that I can use player 1 on the keyboard, player 2 using a physical 360 pad, and then players 3 and 4 by using F3 and F4 to switch to them using the keyboard emulation thingy?

forge menu
escape menu
minion/defence hp or upgrades etc etc.

Try these files (http://www.mediafire.com/?l08j08swlpy80l7) instead. I know that that emulation works, although it doesn't offer the awesome functionality that the F1/2/3/4 emulator does.

Please don't shoot me (hell I expect it to happen anyway).

Is there a means to get controller emulation on OS X's version of Dungeon Defenders?

Probably. However, I'm not technically knowledgeable enough to know how.

So Im trying to use this to quad screen. I all ready have an xbox controller which i use to split screen but I wanna milk this for all I can.
I used the emulator, but now I can only tri screen. My 360 controller doesnt work in DD anymore, only the emulator does. Any idea as to why that happened and/or if it can be fixed to quad screen?

Based on how the x360kb is written, if you just want to run 3 additional afk toons, would something like this work?

[Options]
UseInitBeep=1
Log=0
BackgroundMode=0
PadCount=3

[PAD1]

Start=num0

[PAD2]
Start=Home

[PAD3]
Start=End

then add the additional keys as you see fit for each pad entry?

Ah, that's an interesting approach, have you got the mouse and controller working with direct input? I didn't look much into this, since it functions decently well for me. The hooks are just a callback that keeps getting called in order to read some input from the mouse or keyboard. Surely this code could be improved, but neither me nor Mikee are experts with WinAPI. :)

I did actually do this, and here is the dll: http://www.mediafire.com/?bu8sj8fh93ft3sz

And the modifications to the UDKInput.ini file:

Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_B", Command="DropAllMana")
Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_Back", Command="ActivateCrystal")

Hmm, to be honest, I didn't mind the movement of player 1's mouse, since it didn't harm me much. And since I don't play this game much anymore, it's not much concern to me right now. I will look into using DirectInput though, since that seems like an interesting approach to make this more efficient since the hooks aren't the best way to do this by far.

Seems to new some new issues i have using this updated one.
AS i F2 -4 for new character , when i switch bck to F1, sometimes it disfunction every button on my keyboard, i cant run or use any short cut keys with it, only mouse do ok.

I'm trying to use the emulator however I install it and copy and paste to the right folder but then nothing happens when I press F2 or F3 or F4 etc in the champ screen. I just stay stuck on 1 player.

Draco thanks a ton for the files I have used them with great success.

However, I recently purchased a 360 controller and would like to use it in conjunction with the two simulated keyboard controllers for a total of 4 screens. I have tried altering the files myself with no luck.. does anyone know what I need to do to get this to work? Surely it has to be possible if set up the correct way.

To clarify I want this setup:
Player 1: Mouse/Keyboard
Player 2: Wired 360 Controller
Player 3: Keyboard Emulated Controller #1
Player 4: Keyboard Emulated Controller #2

I know there are problems having an actual controller detect while using the emulated ones but I feel like there has to be some kind of work around. I have tried using xbox360ce to make a controller file and adding that to the keyboard file as gamepad3 but no luck.. if anyone could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.

Ditto.
I haven't gotten it to work that way either with my joystick (not that I poked at it very much).

As far as I know, without someone specifically writing a new .dll file and a wrapper to incorporate both functionalities, it's not possible to combine them. All of the fancy splitscreen toys use their own customized version of the (now I'm drawing a blank on the file name) .dll that DD uses to read 360 controller inputs, and these files are mutually exclusive of one another.

Sadly, I don't know why the x360ce program doesn't already have a keyboard input preset, or at least give us the option to map gamepad buttons to keyboard keys instead. I've got this handy little nostromo that would dearly love to take over control of putting my clones to work. At least...as far as shooting at stuff goes and let the auto-target functions deal with the rest of the pesky "what are you shooting at?" details.

There's two files needed IRC. A dll file and an ini file, both of which go into \Steam\steamapps\common\dungeon defenders\Binaries\Win32

Try this (http://www.mediafire.com/?l08j08swlpy80l7) which is what I use and is known to work. It is set up for two extra controllers, one on the numpad (num0 is start) and one on KL:O (Home key is start).

The controls are laid out in a fairly reasonable fashion and should have nearly every button mapped (dpad is not, but the wheel menu is accessible; (num9 and P, respectively). Open up the ini file to view/edit the mapping.

Hey draco, I downloaded those two files and put them into the file you said, but it doesn't do anything when I hit hit 0 on the dpad or the home key. Is there something else I'm supposed to do besides just downloading and moving them to the proper folder?

I've tried those files but it doesn't work for me, nothing happens. :/ Any suggestions?

Given that it's what I use, I strongly suspect you aren't putting the files in the right place.

I am putting them in the right place. "D:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Dungeon Defenders\Binaries\Win32"
(Installed my game on the D drive) When I start up my game, I can hear a bleep sound but nothing happens when I press 0 on the numpad or home key.

Open the ini file and change log from 0 to 1. That'll make it output a logfile (I think it ends up inside a folder it'll create). That might give some insight into what it is (or isn't) doing.

This is what I got from the log file, it was spammed like 20 of the same lines:
2013/01/15 07:20:48:: Init started...
2013/01/15 07:20:48:: Failed to acquire device, HR = DIERR_HANDLEEXISTS
