Hello all,

What it does:
Manages Keyboard, Mouse and Joystick through DirectX using the Win32 part of OIS ([url:178xb5bj]http://sourceforge.net/projects/wgois/[/url:178xb5bj]).
I've merged "Keyboard & Mouse" plugin actions/conditions/expressions and I've added an "Arm" feature like in the "Custom Controls" plugin by Lucid
There are also many other things to discover :wink:

Force Feedback has been added in v0.92b but it's not fully tested and [u:178xb5bj]may not work properly[/u:178xb5bj].

ToDo:
[list:178xb5bj]
[*:178xb5bj] Create a ForceFeedback testing tool with CGUI[/*:m:178xb5bj]
[*:178xb5bj] Intregrate OIS 1.3: adds XInput (XBox 360 controller)[/*:m:178xb5bj][/list:u:178xb5bj]

How to use it:
See the included examples, everything is in here. If more is needed, I will publish some howtos.

Installation:
Download the zip file and put the Plugin directory with the csx files into Construct's plugins directory.

Download:
[url:178xb5bj]https://sourceforge.net/projects/sglorzscplugs/files/Input%20System/[/url:178xb5bj]

So far so good, and it seems pretty complete.
I do think a little more info like setting controls etc. is needed.
Great job!

Whoa. Just whoa. Tomorrow I'm trying it out with a joystick but... it seems it has everything.
Not everything I need, I mean EVERYTHING. I looked around SDL's control system before and I know what can be done, and I see it's all there. Congratulations, sir :)

I tried the bundled demos and something weird happens when hitting F10. I just now realized it acts just like left-alt :O so I guess we shouldn't use it, as Windows freezes the application and focuses on the window controls.
Everything works perfectly.

Awesome. I can go and code player control logic for my game now :D

I'm having some trouble :(

It works awesomeLY, but for some reason when I try it in my game, it refuses to recognize controls by their name ("on control", etc)

So.... halp? I really don't understand why it won't work here. I deleted everything in my game except for the bare minimum and it still won't work.

Yeeh, I've got the arm part kinda figured out, and its a good idea, as you might want your players to map their own keys, but presetting controls is somewhat confusing.
