Moving around using a Joystick?

[DeepThought]

Hello!

Recently I broke my arm (while skateboarding ), 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

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!
