Homebrew How do I export wii homebrew on devkitpro without a built in editor

It's not yet published, i could pm you a link?

Sure, but I can't promise I can fix it.

Yell if it doesn't go through. I _think_ I turned my PMs back on.

I was able to send a pm, hope you got it ok
Ping me if not

 

[GreyWolf]

I sent you a PM back with the fix to get it to compile.

 

[kaisersozeh]

A gentleman and a scholar, sir. Thanks very much!

 

[GreyWolf]

I just tried it with the shareware pak0.wad and it seems to work ok. The screen bounds are a bit off but it may have already been that way.

Ive been working on it a while, but only just able to compile it for myself. Big leap forward. As you have the code infront of you would it be cheeky to ask a question?
I'm trying to use the nunchuck Z as a modifier so I can extend an extra set of function under the wiimote buttoms.
Ive treid it using quake's command line in a config but it's not perfect. EDIT - The modifier key isn't working as at all

I was wondering if i used the input c to send a keyboard stroke instead of a joybutton from the wiimote, changing Z to an Lshiftkey press would modify a 'b' to a 'B', and i could then map those keystrokes as separate entities.
Could you describe how i could do that?
There's an onscreen keyboard in the input c too, so I was hoping i coild basically copy and paste the logic and edit it to the relvant keys...
Edit: forgot to say thank you. Thank you!
EDIT:
TO be a bit clearer - in input.c line from 510 on, there are these type of statements -

           if ((wpad_previous_keys & WPAD_BUTTON_RIGHT) != (wpad_keys & WPAD_BUTTON_RIGHT))
           {
               // Send a press event.
               Key_Event(K_RIGHTARROW, ((wpad_keys & WPAD_BUTTON_RIGHT) == WPAD_BUTTON_RIGHT));
           }

I'd like to be able to change "and the shift key is pressed, then send "K_DEL", else send "K_RIGHTARROW" " - but I have absolutely no idea of the syntax of such a thing
- i did try likely examples from the rest of the code - no joy!
bool keyboard_shifted = FALSE is defined line 60 and used in the on-screen-keyboard code - it was this variable I thought might be useful - can I use it?
If you could even just point me towards a relevant article about how I might construct the line that would be a big help

 

[GreyWolf]

Try input.c:581

You should be able to send key event K_LSHIFT instead of K_JOY7.

 

[kaisersozeh]

Yes - I've already tried that - It just says,thanks for the L_shift what do you want me to do with it?
EDIT - I think I have to work out which keypresses are active from within the code
EDIt#2 I can do it with K_ type keys - it's just that it needs to read the status of the shift key before it sends the keypress

 

[GreyWolf]

Hmm... maybe you have to OR it with another one?

K_LSHIFT | K_F1

 

[kaisersozeh]

How would the variable define which was sent?
WHat would that look like?
If key press and shift then A, else B - because each line is only initiated by the keypress - right?
To be clear the L_SHIFT shows up - but as an unassigned button in the interface

 

[kaisersozeh]

If I could send the keybaord event, rather than the character - i.e send a "d" press rather than the "d" character - would that use the shift press as a modifier key?

 

[kaisersozeh]

Im using code found here
Github oibaf66 quakegx
I think I want to change input.c:513, which sends the event if the button is pressed.
On line 394, as part of the on-screen-keyboard handling,
If (z is pressed)
osk_set=osk_shifted;
Else
Osk_set=osk_normal;
So i'd like the value of osk_set to define what keypress is sent when you hit a button.
So line 513
If keypressed and osk_set=shifted
key event altleft
If keypressed and osk_set=normal
Keyevent left
Would that be how to do it?
Tried copying the syntax from the rest of the code, &&, but just can't get it to work.

               // Send a press event.
               Key_Event(K_F1, ((wpad_keys & WPAD_BUTTON_LEFT) == WPAD_BUTTON_LEFT));

               Key_Event(K_LEFTARROW, ((wpad_keys & WPAD_BUTTON_LEFT) == WPAD_BUTTON_LEFT));
           }

 

[GreyWolf]

So essentially you want the buttons to do something different when the Z button is held down? That might take a little more work like in the on-screen keyboard code.

 

[kaisersozeh]

Yes - it was a bit fingers crossed hoping the shift key would work!!

           }

Which compiled but only showed the leftarrow press, not the F1

@fledge68 suggested this

if ((wpad_previous_keys & WPAD_BUTTON_LEFT) != (wpad_keys & WPAD_BUTTON_LEFT))
{
if(osk_set = osk_shifted )
Key_Event(K_F1, ((wpad_keys & WPAD_BUTTON_LEFT) == WPAD_BUTTON_LEFT));
else
Key_Event(K_LEFTARROW, ((wpad_keys & WPAD_BUTTON_LEFT) == WPAD_BUTTON_LEFT));
}

Which is only showing the F1, not the leftarrow
I copied and pasted across the relevant buttons and compiled
the compiler suggested

C:/sources/QuakeWiiFPS/source/src/wii/input.c:516:8: warning: suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value [-Wparentheses]
     if(osk_set = osk_shifted )

Any help realllly welcome

Good eye. I missed that.
