3DConnexion Space Navigator

[desrtfox071]

I don't know how hard it would be for the development team to implement, but I'd sure appreciate support for the 3DConnexion SpaceNavigator. It'd make moving around and viewing the table much more pleasurable.

For those not familiar with it, the SpaceNavigator is a 6dof controller, sometimes called a 3D mouse, that is generally used with CAD systems or 3D modelling.

I feel like it would really allow for a more natural interaction with the table and the camera.

YES PLEASE

[CrackMyKnuckles]

ALL OF MY YES!!!

[desrtfox071]

I just posted this same request on the Tabletop Simulator forums over at Berserk Games. Maybe they'll look into it.

[❄Ƒrost❄]

good

[brandt.gts]

Yes please and thank you. It would be so good.

So I just spent the better part of my day learning how to program a custom configuration for the SpaceMouse to use in TTS. You'll need to map two new keys into your game control configuration but it works really well and was exactly what I was hoping for when I picked up the game. Any interest, let me know.

I would be interested in this? Did you use the 3DConnexion XMLs or something else like AutoHotKey?

[zebrahum]

I used the 3DConnexion XML. First time doing anything like that so it took a bit of time. Decided to port it over to Planet Coaster while I'm at it.

Would you be against posting that xml here?

[zebrahum]

Again, first time doing this, is there a good way to do it? Copy/Paste the code?

Yeah, it's just xml.

if you want it to look all nice, just use the code tag, like:

{code} blah blah{code}

except use the straight brackets instead of curly braces.

And thanks!

No problem, hopefully my control scheme isn't too frustrating for others.

You'll need to map left bracket ([) to zoom out and right bracket (]) to zoom in if you want the zooms to work.

Thank you. It shouldn't be too hard to modify from here, should I want to change the settings. I attempted to do this for a couple of other games way back, got it working, then lost a HDD, and didn't want to bother to do it again. So again, thank you for doing the hard work!

[zebrahum]

Glad to share, if the controls are backward just swap the <key> callouts for the offending axis. Each axis has two value sets, one for pushing the hat one way or the opposite way.

[brandt.gts]

Looks good. I am a totalt novice . is it something i can do? Where do you put the XML?
