Joystick problem
thelusiv Wrote:edit: on the .vdrift directory - it is a sort of Linux/Unix standard to put "user files" for a program in /home/user/.program/ - this is because on Unix programs are installed to a location that is not writable by the user, so the settings couldn't go there, if they were ever to be changed. Instead they go into a hidden folder in the user's home directory. On OS X, this folder has been relocated to VDrift's data directory, I suppose to make it work more like other OS X applications. In this folder you'll find several files, for one there's VDrift.config. This file holds all the configuration data for VDrift (settings and such). Another file is "controls" - this defines the controls used in VDrift. If you want, you can copy this file to "controls.default" or something, so it will not be overwritten by the game. Then if you set your controls up for a joystick, quit VDrift and copy the new controls file to something like "controls.joystick" then you need only copy controls.default to controls to go back to the normal settings, or copy controls.joystick to controls to use your joystick setup. Hopefully in future versions of VDrift we'll have some way to set up "controls profiles" that would basically do that for you.
Okay.For Mac OS X, the standard rule is to have the application preference settings in Users/xx/Library/Preferences. Also the preferences should be visible.So I would propose for the Mac OS X version to:- rename the directory from ".vdrift" to "VDrift",- make this directory visible,- change its path from Users/xx/.vdrift to Users/xx/Library/Preferences/VDrift.What do you think ?
