Controlers

I have heard rumers of ppl using game pads and joysticks to play. If this is fact true where is the option. I think the gaming expeirence would be awsome if the use of a joystick would be there. Can anyone give the truth behind this subject.

 

There is no option within the DarkOrbit settings to allow for a gamepad to play the game. As a web based game it has no access to external peripherals and would have to have a local client to work with such items, plus it would have to be coded to work with the many different types of controllers.
I hope this helps answer your question.

ok ty. so my best bet would be doing reasurch in how to convert mouse function to a joystick so to speak. If it is even posiable to convert the 2(mouse and keyboard) as 1 as i have a large amount of joysticks sitting going to waste. Mabey a lil rewireing to find the right combo. I will sure let ya know the outcome. Im thinking it is posiable might waste a few keyboard and joysticks but its all in fun. If i do however make it work would it be in violation of any rules. because it would be giving me a advantage on ship function?

 

As that is not something that is available as an option, and I dont think it possible as an option without the use of a macro which is a program that is something that is forbidden within the dark orbit gaming community. I would have to say the use of a joystick would also be forbidden. But for true confrimation I would recommend that you contact support and verify that.

Please have a wonderful day and enjoy your game.

I think you misunderstanding what im saying. I build things all the time what i am wanting to do is simply rewire a old keyboard and mouse into the controls of a joystick. I would not be using any outside progs, Just simply replacing the config of the buttons and hotkeys of mouse and keyboard into a joystick simulator. Simple resoddering and jumping the keys. But ty for the insite, i will update you on the progress if and when i get started on the project. but i do have a question why are macros forbiden? As the use for them are used in almost every program out. All your login pages run a version and all you child spy programs run a keyloger of some nature. As i run a keyloger on all my boxes for my own protection. And for it to be agenst the rules or our own isp's and browsers would be forcing use to break the rules with out knowlage of even doing so. How ever i can understand why the misuse of 1 could be bad. But in order to misuse 1 in a game you would also have to build a program to act as a human player(bot). Which your system is built to detect that. Most ppl would not have a clue on how to bind the to. Which would take a lot of programing and decompiling.

 

I use the "DS3 Tool". What it does is convert joystick inputs to keyboard/mouse inputs depending on what you have it preset as. Google it for more info.

 

cool ty that would save a lot of time

 

Well, Best of luck to you and your project...
Have a lovely day!
