Title: Madcatz Panther XL controller for tremulous under Linux
Post by: PK1 on February 16, 2007, 07:26:08 am

I'm a new Linux user and Tremulous is the first game I'm trying that runs natively in Linux. I have a Madcatz Panther XL that I really like for FPS. I'd like to use it with Tremulous. To do this I would need to create a config file for the bindings. However, I've never made one but have edited a few for some ID games and for Half-Life so I have a vague idea of what is required. Is it possible to do this in Tremulous? Or, hopefully, maybe someone else has made one.

Any help is most appreciated.

I've used a gamepad for Alice (quake 3 engine) under linux before.
You'll probably want these three packages:

joy2key
joystick
jscalibrator

Thanks for the reply. I'll looking the packages you suggested. I think I already have jscalibrator. I've bookmarked the link you provided.

I don't know if you are familiar with the PXL. It has a joystick for movement and a trackball for looking, along with 17 switches. The nice thing is you never need to hunt for a key on the keyboard.
