Gamepads/controllers in bzFlag
Does anyone else here use a gamepad or game controller in bzFlag? If so, which one, and how is yours set up?
I use my optical mouse in my right and and for my left hand use a Nostromo n50 game pad. Seen here:
The way I have mine setup is I use the D-pad button directly under my thumb as a jump key, the other 3 directions used for radar zoom, the bottom right key as a fire button (still use the mouse button too) and all of the rest are quick-keys for things like lagstats and other commands.
So how about it? Anyone else?

I like my keyboard and mouse, the way it was intended. I don't need any fancy $100 gadget to keep fraggin' tanks.
It does look like a neat device, but probably more useful for games like Unreal Tournament. However, that device would be cool for Patlabor's BZFlag Zero client with all the special moves.

That's why it doesn't work. You're using it all wrong as a headset, as you're supposed to get those professionally implanted in your cranium.EvilChickenNugget wrote:Yeah I know but my MindControl[tm] headset broke and I don't have the 100 grand to get it replaced.

I always played Wolfenstein with keyboard, but with Bzflag, I have found that a mouse helps me with aiming faster. Whether it is the whiskers or the little tail I am not sure. The amount of cheese that I go through is beginning to impact my household budget though. I tried using Cheeztiz, but high concentrations of salt increased the beer budget. I think I am trying a cat next. This way, they can eat my storage of mice. They do have some vibration feedback, but I believe that this was not a design feature. I believe that I may pushing the wrong buttons in that particular instance.
.........you kids, get out of my tank...........
