:confused: I recently installed Q3A and was playing with the mouse/kb and was doing fine.So I decided to try the joystick.Upon activating the joystick.............. I was able to turn left/right..........
move forward/backward........... But I was unable to use the fire button. I thought it might be the joystick,so I used it on another game and everything was OK.Soooooooo,.............. What's going on here.Can move with the "stick" but just cant shoot !!!!
Thx

Don't play with the joystick. keyboard/mouse is a lot better.

Good help, SoM. :p

stan:
Are you sure the trigger is bound to the right key? The software that came with it should allow you to bind it to a certain corresponding mouse or keyboard key. Try binding it to a different key, let's say "P" and then in Q3, bind P to shoot.

But you'll do worse with a joystick vs keyboard/mouse.

I think a joystick would be easier for me. I have severe "Peripheral Neuropathy". And using both hands can be quite taxing.And for those of you who think using a jockstick is" GAY ". I would rather be gay than haveing this disorder.

Fair enough. Like Soap said, a disorder is a different ballgame entirely. Most of us prefer a mouse and keyboard in order to have greater control but to each their own.

What type of joystick are you trying to use?

I wrote a config a while back on how to set one up. you can download it here gamepad.cfg.

here it is:


// gamepad / joystick config by Signa.
// sep-1-03
//
// how to use:
// place in /baseq3 directory and when q3 is running type /exec gamepad.cfg in console to load.
//
// get a piece of paper to write on
// load a map and when you move the joystick or press a button it will echo the coresponding joystick number
// or arrow key.
// write down which movement or button coresponds to which joy command.
// using the list of common commands below change the "echo xxx" to the command you want.
// you can bind just about any command possible in q3, the ones listed below are the most common needed.
// example: you press your main fire button and get "joy10" on screen. change the "echo joy10" to "+attack"
// there may be buttons higher than joy27, so experiment if you have lots of buttons.
// you can also bind weapons (and vstr aliases if you know how to write them).
// you will definately need to tweak the cl_pitchspeed and yawspeed numbers to how fast you want to turn or look in game.



//CONFIGURE CONTROLLER
set in_joystick 1 // initializes game controller (joystick) input
set cl_run 1 // always run ON
set freelook 1 // freelook ON
set joy_threshold 0.285 // sets joystick overall dead zone
set cl_pitchspeed "200" // up-down speed
set cl_yawspeed "200" // side speed

bind JOY1 "echo joy1"
bind JOY2 "echo joy2"
bind JOY3 "echo joy3"
bind JOY4 "echo joy4"
bind JOY5 "echo joy5"
bind JOY6 "echo joy6"
bind JOY7 "echo joy7"
bind JOY8 "echo joy8"

bind JOY26 "echo joy26"
bind JOY27 "echo joy27"
bind uparrow "echo uparrow"
bind downarrow "echo downarrow"
bind leftarrow "echo leftarrow"
bind rightarrow "echo rightarrow"

in_restart // this is needed.


// LIST OF COMMON COMMANDS TO BIND:
// +attack (shoot)
// +movedown (crouch)
// +moveup (jump)
// +lookdown (look down)
// +lookup (look up)
// +forward (move forward)
// +back (move backwards)
// +moveleft (strafe left)
// +moveright (strafe right)
// +right (turn right)
// +left (turn left)
