Hello!
Recently I broke my arm (while skateboarding :D ), so I can't use my left arm for moving - since I can't push wasd-buttons in a proper way.
But then I got this crazy idea: to use the joystick for moving! Does anyone know how to use my joystick for the moving? I can't find out what I am supposed to bind to make the stick-movements result in a in-game-movement.
I have activated the Joystick via the \in_joystick 1 command, and I can bind i.e. attack to any of the Joystick buttons (like \bind joy1 +attack). I am sure that Tremulous finds my Joystick (it actually even detects what model it is!), but I have no clue how to make movement using stick work.
Does anyone know how to do it?
I'm running Tremulous under Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 (Linux, that is ;)), and the joystick is a Logitech WingMan Interceptor.
I also have tried using the program joy2key, but can't make it use Tremulous as the target for the joystick-movements, so if anyone know how to do this (or have a similar solution), that would be nice too :D
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: The program I tried was joy2key, not joy2bind

I don't know how but it IS possible. Xovan plays that way all the time.

Good to know, at least :)
If this Xovan comes by (or if someone meet him/her), could you check how it is done, and post it here, please? :roll:

I solved it!
I just started the game, but before I made sure that all the needed modules were loaded:
$ sudo modprobe joydev
$ sudo modprobe adi <-- this is for my Joystick, you'll probably need a different module if you've got a different stick
In-game I opened a console and typed in
\in_joystick 1
\in_restart <-- not sure of this one, maybe I just restarted the game :-?
And then I made sure the bindings were correct:
Left bound to LEFTARROW
Right bound to ... etc.
I have no idea why it didn't work in the first place, but now it does!
Thank you all, anyway! :D
