MaLa and GP-Wiz40 - "buttons" 17 through 32 don't appear to work- FIXED

[nick3092]

I have a GP-Wiz40 and am using MaLa. However, I've noticed "buttons" 17 through 32 don't appear to work. In the "check" tab they show up correctly. But when I asign them to a function, they don't work.

Is this a known issue, or am I just lucky? I'm using the beta 1.6g version.

Thanks!

Ahhh At last a beta tester... yes?

I don't have a Joystick with so many buttons.

Thanks for reporting

I will have a look

[nick3092]

I will gladly test. I'm just building my cab right now. So it's certainly not 100% functional. But I'm glad to help out any way I can!

I had a look through the code and can't see any mistakes?

I think it is odd that the buttons work in the config tester but not mala itself as the control share code.

I might send you a version with extra logging for you to test

[nick3092]

Yeah, I thought it was odd too.  But I went through and tested every input/"button" till I found where they stopped working - 17.  It could just be coincidence, but those are all the buttons on the second row of the tester.  Not sure if there is a correlation there.

Mystery? 

I will PM you a location to download a test version later 

Ahh I treated myself and bought one.

I will find out soon enough what the problem is

How long does it take to get here.

I've placed several orders from GGG.  I always get them pretty quick.  But then again, I'm in the States.

Hi I confirmed the problem.

Will check the code and see if I can fix this.

It might be hard problem if the default Joystick call back does not support this..

Stay tuned

Glad to know I'm not crazy.

[loadman]

Yup,

Good news is I can fix ...but it will take a while. Basically replacing the way Joystick is used in MaLa.

I no doubt will break something that someone will tell me about later on  

I promised to add the 'shift' feature to Joysticks anyway....  and it is in the same area

D'oh!

Just changing 'WORD' to 'Int64' in a few places got me up to 31 buttons.     Easy, once I worked out how the lib code worked.

 Not sure why button 32 does not work yet but 31 or less does

FIXED

Case Closed

[nick3092]

Yay!  Looking forward to the next release!  Thanks!

Actually (for anyone who cares) I probably went overboard increasing its type. I might peg it back to LongWord rather than Int64
