Wiki is quite unintuitive and 'Set Selector' is broken :)

[aybe]

Basically, assignments are ignored when this option is set.

I needed the following for Shadow of the Empire game, to try having a modern controller layout !
remember, this is a 20 years old game with controls we do find really weird by today's standards

Problem 1
Mapped mouse to right stick. it does look left/right but also advances forward.
(by today we move/strafe with left stick)

Solution
Assign mouse to R Stick then delete Mouse Up and Mouse Down from it.

Problem 2
You can aim by pressing V but since you deleted vertical look because of Problem 1 you're screwed.

Solution 1
Use Set Selector, sounds great but assignments are ignored now ...

Solution 2
Try replicate Set Selector manually, looks promising but it does a ping pong between sets:
Press Time 0.1 -> Set Change X
(with X being the other set you want to switch to, respectively)

Mac Gyver solution

Set 1: V -> Set Change 2 -> Hold .01
Set 2: V -> Set Change 1 and that's it !

👍

This works as intended but is so unintuitive !!!

It took me nearly 2 hours to solve this problem, but I solved it, Pinnacle Game Profiler failed on this, though it's a commercial product.

Suggestions

• fix Set Selector to raise assignments as well
• consider reviewing/editing the Wiki because explanations are more confusing than helpful

Here's the config:

Hi @aybe, Yikes! Yes, we should review the UI to see if we can make that easier to figure out. Sorry that the wiki is confusing. It is in need of a re-write. Thanks for reporting!

[aybe]

yes, actually there are really only a few things missing AntiMicro to make it top notch 👍

[jsbackus]

😄 Thanks! It is nice to hear that.

AntiMicro is no longer maintained. There were no bigger fixes since 2017.
There is a new recommended version of this app called AntiMicroX.

As a part of cleanup, this issue will be closed and repository will be archived.
If you find this issue relevant also for that new version of application you can create a new issue (or discussion) there (but firstly check it, because many issues of the old app are fixed and there are some new functionalities implemented)
If you will decide to create a new issue for AntiMicroX remember to mention this issue for reference.
