i am currently trying to create an input map for the ds4 dual shock 4 controller. however, there is a massive problem with this thing not working ingame. the game will register the controller but not the inputs here's what the log says: Code: 36.975664| - Product Name: Wireless Controller 36.975709| - Product ID: 05C4 36.975761| - Vendor ID: 054C 36.975808| - GUID: {05C4054C-0000-0000-0000-504944564944} 36.975882| - 21 objects: rzaxis (axis), zaxis (axis), yaxis (axis), xaxis (axis), button0 (button), button1 (button), button2 (button), button3 (button), button4 (button), button5 (button), button6 (button), button7 (button), button8 (button), button9 (button), button10 (button), button11 (button), button12 (button), button13 (button), ryaxis (axis), rxaxis (axis) 36.975974| - trying to load keyboard mapping: scripts/client/inputmaps/custom/keyboard.inputmap.cs - file not existing 36.976064| - trying to load mapping via VendorID/ProductID: scripts/client/inputmaps/custom/05c4054c.inputmap.cs - file not existing 36.976154| - trying to load mapping via name: scripts/client/inputmaps/custom/wirelesscontroller.inputmap.cs - file not existing 36.980889| - trying to load keyboard mapping: scripts/client/inputmaps/keyboard.inputmap.cs - SUCCESSFUL 36.981602|ds4 inputmap loaded when i hit the button on the controller nothing happens, even though the buttons are mapped out. as shown here.

Pretty sure moveMap.bind got changed to mm.bind, for one. The rest I'm not too sure about. EDIT: Yep. Try replacing all instances of "moveMap" with "mm".
i replaced all the movemaps with %mm and i still have no input to the game. everything i have written down should work in game, but it just doesn't work. it's like the devs blocked the ds4 on purpose. if that is true i don't know but i am still trying to figure this out.
With 3rd party drivers, yes. I know you can change the RGB LED used by the PSEye to identify the controller any color you want, and I'm pretty sure they've repurposed the touchpad as a trackpad. (Very useful for BeamNG's entirely mouse based UI IMO.) Alas, I don't know anyone who owns a DS4. Crimson, have you tried emulating a 360 controller? (If that's even an option with the DS4 yet.)
Try to put the input map in the inputmaps folder, and not in the inputmaps/custom folder If that doesn't work try naming it "wirelesscontroller.inputmap"
i tried moving the file from custom back to the inputmaps folder. nothing happened. however when i renamed it to wireless controller the "ds4 inputmap loaded" echo was not present, telling me that lua is reading the scripts and recognizing it when the file is labelled "05C4054C.inputmap". but nothing still works. The game will not recognize any of the controllers inputs. not even the buttons. my suspicion slightly lies in the axis area. some of the axis are labelled rz, ry, rx, which is just the rotational axis. i did try to rename them to s and r but it still won't recognize any input. keep in mind i have made inputmaps for other controllers before and they have all worked. This raises my suspision for the fact that the developers have on purposely blocked the ds4 from being used on beamng.drive. 0_o. why they would do this, we may never know. - - - Updated - - - i have tried but it works with every other controller except the ds4. which is weird because i don't even need an x360 emulator for any game except beamng. and even when i try to use the emulator it still deos not work.
The devs have not purposely blocked the DS4. Did you try my suggestion to add ".cs" to the end? You could try running the DS4 through an emulator just to make sure your computer is getting the inputs and the problem is on BeamNG's side.
actually, you could buy the controller before the ps4 came out (dont understand why they would do that, considering its useless without the ps4)
That was still after beamng updated and before anyone got a PC driver even remotely working. Which is a fair point. You do have the drivers installed and it does work in other software right?
yes i have tried the .cs extension. that was one of the first things i have tried. when i punched it in, lua didn't recognize the file. there is nothing wrong with the file extension. what is wrong is the coding which for some reason it cannot read. (with the exception of the "ds4 inputmap loaded" echo".
Okay when you go into the debug menu one of them will be for controls, and have 4 circles in the corner, if you use the axis' they should come up on the left, if they don't then BeamNG doesn't recongnize your controller
i have no input from the controller. but it did display the xbox 360 controller, mouse and keyboard. however. if beamng doesn't recognize my controller, how come it shows up in the torque3d log file as shown.

i would but unfortunately the only emulator i can find is x360ce. which works really well with the controller but i can't get it working with the game.
