Force Feedback on GPL

by Steven Buglas » Tue, 04 Jan 2000 04:00:00

Could somebody please tell me how I can get Force Feedback working on GPL, I
Have just installed the latest patch but I dont understand the readme file
which tells me how to do it.

Many Thanks

Force Feedback on GPL

Simple,
in your GPL directory you have a file called Core.ini
open this file with note pad add the following line to the file and save.

[ Joy ]
allow_force_feedback = 1    ;
force_feedback_latency = 0.085               ; in seconds
force_feedback_damping = 40.0                ; magic number

Example: my core ini looks like this..........

[ Int Profile Values ]
value0 = OpenGL:TossHighestMip:0         ; do not change
value1 = OpenGL:MipFiltering:0                ; do not change
value2 = OpenGL:MirrorsEvery:0                ; do not change

[ OpenGL ]
TossHighestMip = 0                       ;
MipFiltering = 4                        ;
MirrorsEvery = 1                        ;

Now if I was to add force feed back it would look like this......

[ Int Profile Values ]
value0 = OpenGL:TossHighestMip:0         ; do not change
value1 = OpenGL:MipFiltering:0                ; do not change
value2 = OpenGL:MirrorsEvery:0                ; do not change

[ OpenGL ]
TossHighestMip = 0                       ;
MipFiltering = 4                        ;
MirrorsEvery = 1                        ;

[ Joy ]
allow_force_feedback = 1    ;
force_feedback_latency = 0.085               ; in seconds
force_feedback_damping = 40.0                ; magic number

There is a sample core.ini in the gpl directory called core.ini.sample.
Copy and paste the [Joy] section into your new core.ini (assuming you don't
have one yet) or your existing core.ini. Play with the latency, damping and
torque values. The one in there are just samples. Now go here:
http://website.lineone.net/~richardn/Hardware.html and read all about the
values.

Just add the following to you core.ini file in your GPL directory.  The damping,
latency and torque settings are Alisons.  You may have to play with different
values for your preference

[ Joy ]
allow_force_feedback = 1                            ; Use FF if device has it
force_feedback_damping = 40.000000       ; force feedback damping coefficient
force_feedback_latency = 0.085000           ; force feedback latency (secs)
max_steering_torque = 225.000000            ; steering torque in N*in giving max
device force

Sorry I was wrong.  Here are Alison's settings.

force_feedback_latency = 0.020000
force_feedback_damping = 1.000000
max_steering_torque = 270.000000

If you made your modifications to the core.ini.sample file, you need to
rename it to core.ini.

Keep trying.

Make sure the file is really named core.ini and does not have a hidden
extension.

1. Does a Force Feedback Stick compare with a Force Feedback Wheel?

2. Opinion on GPL Support for Force Feedback

3. force feedback for GPL ?
