Tableninja2 with gamepad and xpadder

[wlore]

Hi

I would like to use TN2 with gamepad and keyboard. I'm using Xpadder and I have mapped all the buttons in my gamepad. When I use it with notepad it writes letter to it as mapped, but when I'm using TN2 and try to play poker with it, it doesn't do anything.

I ran debug mode and I get following line when pressing gamepad button.

15:46:42,675 DEBUG TNHotkeys.GamepadForm - Gamepad action: (GP1)Button 13 (ignored)

Which suggested to me that TN2 does not recognize my gamepad buttons as mapped in xpadder but as buttons.

After I saw that I mapped gamepad buttons to TN2 and it worked fine, but then I could use keyboard to give commands if I wanted to.

Is there any way to setup my system so that I could use both keyboard and gamepad with xpadder together?

Hi wlore,

First off, thanks for taking the time and looking through the logs.
Second, I'd like to see if I understand you correctly - it seems you want some TN commands to work both as gamepad, and as hotkeys - for instance, be able to fold via key "F", and via some button on the gamepad.

Is this what you want?

Best,
John

Hi wlore,

I take it it works ok with TN1, but with TN2 it doesn't. Right?

OK.. here's what I have gathered so far. English is not my native language so just hang in there while I try to make some sense out of my thoughts. :)

When opening TN2 it recognizes my gamepad and prepares gamepadform

I’m able to use gamepad-buttons directly as hotkeys. They show up something like “GAMEPADBUTTON(2)”

When I use XPADDER it works fine with other programs such as notepad.
- GAMEPADBUTTON2 linked as B
- When pressed letter B appears in notepad.

Conclusion: gamepad and xpadder link works fine.

I’m running all of these programs as admin

TN2 debugger is divided into 2 panels. Bottom panel is working like notepad. Upper
panel logs actions that TN2 picks up.
- If I have not mapped GAMEPADBUTTON(2) directly to TN2 I will get letter B in bottom panel and
“15:46:42,675 DEBUG TNHotkeys.GamepadForm - Gamepad action: (GP1)Button 13 (ignored) “ in upper panel.
- IF GAMEPADBUTTON(2) is mapped in TN2 upper panel result will be different and depends on whether I have pokertable open or not. But it works fine.
If Xpadder is open I still get letter B on bottom panel.

I did all different setups I could think of and accidentally stumbled into a discovery.
- I pressed GAMEPADBUTTON(2) and I just happened to have BET hotkey box activated in TN. B appeared into the box. With next push of a button GAMEPADBUTTON(2) appeared into the box.
- I was able to get letter B to the box randomly and usually only whit rapid press of the button. GAMEPADBUTTON(2) was linked to BET hotkey most of the time.

Conclusion
- TN2 gamepadform hooks up to the pressed gamepad buttons and interferes with the information that was sent from xpadder.
- Because they are simultaneous I get occasionally the information from xpadder
- It seems that GAMEPADBUTTON has higher priority than information received from xpadder.
- When GAMEPADBUTTON is not linked in TN2, TN2 ignores and suppress all regarding information that comes at the same time.


So this is what I have come up with, it seems that at the moment my setup is not possible. If initialization of gamepadform could be blocked it might work. Maybe a setup choice where you could disable gamepadform or gamepad?

has this been solved?

Hi wlore,

I'm still not sure what it is that you are trying to accomplish.
First off, I've tested personally xpadder + TN2, and it works correctly.

I have two suggestions:
1. You can use gamepad directly (without xpadder)
2. In case you want to use gamepad + xpadder + TN2, I'm guessing you have the problem of setting up hotkeys. Say you have GAMEPADBUTTON2 mapped as B. Then, you can type the letter 'B' as hotkey (wherever you want) - and then, when you press GAMEPADBUTTON2, TN2 should recognize it as B.

If none of these work, we can have a setting to disable gamepadform.

Best,
John
