Unreal Tournament GOTY hasn't DirectInput gamepad support ?

[jebez]

Hi

I installed Unreal Tournament GOTY version 432 https://archive.org/details/unreal-tour ... 99-goty-pc on my Windows 11 PC .

I tried to bind , to play with my Logitech Dual Action DirectInput gamepad : it doesn't work . Why ?
According to https://web.archive.org/web/20020603131 ... downloads/ version 432 is anterior to 2005 ; year of the apparition of Xinput https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectInput#XInput so it's supposed to work ...

I haven't Xinput gamepad , so I tried with x360ce : it doesn't work without surprise .

Then I installed the latest Unreal Tournament patch version 469d : it still doesn't work , but it works with x360ce , but move & strafe are boolean , not analog , normal ?

So feature request : add DirectInput gamepad support ?

Thanks .

Many many many years ago I had an Xbox 360 controller running, I vaguely remember having to mess around with Raw Key Bindings or Aliases to get it working. I also had a Flight Sim joystick working, both were terrible to play with.

I followed https://ut99.org/viewtopic.php?p=23475#p23475 , axes & some gamepad binds are already set , as C:\Program Files (x86)\UnrealTournament\System\User.ini .
But in Advanced Options , Joystick there're SDLDrv.SDLClient (failed load) , Windows & XDrv.Xclient (failed load) ; maybe a missing driver of the time ?

I don't understand because e.g. the 1998 Half-Life works with my DirectInput gamepad , I can directly bind in the menu .
