Re-mapping controller for TE?
« on: December 14, 2006, 08:48:45 AM »
Hey guys,

After the recent updates of the Terrain Editor, I haven't been able to use my joystick to activate the so called "CM Eye" (God's eye) to move around my terrain and place objects zoomed at angles the regular controls can't allow you to get. I have heard Skuzzy say before that re-mapping your controls in AH would allow you to use the "CM Eye" in the TE. Yet after re-mapping all 4 modes and making sure that I had buttons mapped on my joystick to activate any four of those modes, the CM eye will still not activate the way I want it.

I already shot an E-mail off to skuzzy asking him this same question 3 days ago, now I'm asking you guys if you know how to possibly re-map the controller for the TE. I know it has something to do with the text-file settings of the controller located somewhere in the "ah2editor" folder, I just don't know where to look for that file.

You can try deleting your joystick configuration files in your HTC\ah2editor\settings flolder and let ah2edit.exe reload them. If the editor sees them, there's no need to transfer them from the game settings folder.  If that doesn’t work, copy your joystick configuration files to your settings folder: HTC\ah2editor\settings.  You may have to hand edit the files for forward and backward movement but try these first.

Example joystick configuration files:
saitekx52flightcontrolsystem. jsm
saitekx45.jsm
chpropedalsusb.jsm
Easy in-game again.

Well, first I tried deleting the "stick.cfg" file in the "HTC\ah2editor\settings\" folder, then I re-loaded the TE, yet the CM Eye still did not work. Then I took my joystick's .jsm file from "HTC\Aces High II\settings\" and copied it to "HTC\ah2editor\settings\". Still the CM Eye did not work the way I had mapped it in Aces High. I'm not sure what I have to edit in the file to make it operate.
