Configuring Tracking with Live Link
-
- Copy Miden_LiveLinkPresetVolfoni.uasset into the Unreal project – Add this to the “Presets” folder inside the “Content” folder. If a “Presets” folder does not already exist, create one inside of the Content folder.
- Open “Window” > “Live Link”
- Click on the “Presets” menu and select the preset file you just imported
- This preset will unload when the project is launched again, you will need to set the preset to automatically load when the project is launched. Go to “Project Settings” > “Plugins” > “Live Link” and set the “Default Live Link Preset” to Miden_LiveLinkPresetVolfoni.
Setting up Input for the Logitech Controller used in the MIDEN
-
- Go to “Project Settings” > “Plugins” > “Raw Input”
- Add a new device configuration with following configuration
- Vendor ID: 0x046D [Logitech]
- Product ID: 0xC219 [RumblePad 2]
- Expand “Axis Properties” and modify Axis 0-3 by checking the option “Gamepad Stick”.
- Next will be to add input mappings. Go to “Project Settings” > “Input” and then under “Bindings” expand “Axis Mappings”. If the following mappings do not exist then add them by clicking on the + icon next to Axis Mappings and changing the name of the added entry.
- Check for a mapping called “MoveForward”. Click the + button to add a new mapping and select “GenericUSBController Axis 3”.
- Check for a mapping called “MoveRight”. Click the + button to add a new mapping and select “GenericUSBController Axis 4”
- Check for a mapping called “TurnRate”. Click the + button to add a new mapping and select “GenericUSBController Axis 1”.
- Next open the file <Your-Project>/Config/DefaultInput.ini
- When you open the file you should see a lot of lines that look like +AxisConfig=; we will be adding some additional entries.
- After the last +AxisConfig line add the following lines
- +AxisConfig=(AxisKeyName=”GenericUSBController_Axis1″,AxisProperties=(DeadZone=0.25,Sensitivity=1.f,Exponent=1.f,bInvert=True))
- +AxisConfig=(AxisKeyName=”GenericUSBController_Axis2″,AxisProperties=(DeadZone=0.25,Sensitivity=1.f,Exponent=1.f,bInvert=False))
- +AxisConfig=(AxisKeyName=”GenericUSBController_Axis3″,AxisProperties=(DeadZone=0.25,Sensitivity=1.f,Exponent=1.f,bInvert=True))
- +AxisConfig=(AxisKeyName=”GenericUSBController_Axis4″,AxisProperties=(DeadZone=0.25,Sensitivity=1.f,Exponent=1.f,bInvert=False))
- Save the DefaultInput.ini to apply these changes.
