My gamepad works fine in other games, secret mario chronicles, supertux, etc., but in supertuxkart, when I tap the arrow button, my car remains stuck in a turn even after I release the button making it almost impossible to play. Is there a way to fix this? Everything works as expected except for the turn buttons and the keyboard works fine as well.

I'm running OpenSuse 12.2

~/.config/supertuxkart/input.xml looks like this:

<gamepad name ="USB,2-axis 8-button gamepad " enabled="true">

<action name="steerLeft" id="0" event="2" character="0" direction="0" />
<action name="steerRight" id="0" event="2" character="0" direction="1" />

Any suggestions appreciated!

(this is in the wrong thread, can a mod move this to the right one? Sorry for being nit-picky)

sorry, where should i post

It's cool.

Hi,

can you tell us which version of STK you are using? Sometimes there are old versions in repos so if you don't have 0.7.3 I suggest you start by downloading it from our website

I am using 0.7.3 from http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... SUSE_12.2/

okay, can run you run

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

supertuxkart --gamepad-visualisation


then play with your gamepad and check if the screen reacts?

Hi,

When I pressed right or left, one of two green bars lit up. They did not stick and stay green though - when I released they went black again.

Okay. Is there a chance you could try the nightly build : http://samuncle.net/wp-content/themes/samtheme/stkn.php ? (warning: backup your stk user config directory if you wish to go back to stk 0.7.3 after without losing your config)

it's not stable nor final nor polished, but quite a few gamepad related fixed have been applied since 0.7.3. I guess that would be the first thing to try

Thanks for your advice. I wanted to let you know that with the latest nightly build, steering is working fine with my usb gamepad.
