Can't make aiming profile

[Sayora77]

I want to be able to make a profile that would have the Wii Remote pointing straight ahead instead of straight up or horizontal, but I can't seem to get one to work. It's useful for games like Splatoon. Thanks!

I'm nearly sure it is currently possible, but right mapping of axis might be tricky. You first have to make sure that existing configurations work as expected using PadTest before trying to create profiles yourself.

When you'll check out if existing ones are working as expected, I'll try to help you on this issue. Remember, use calibration values to modify directions, not profile settings. Do you have MotionPlus (either connected or built-in), by the way?

[Sayora77]

The existing configurations do work and I've tried adding a new profile in presets.json to try and make it work. I am using a Wii Remote Plus with MotionPlus built-in.

[v1993]

Well, first things first: presets.json:

// DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE. USE config.json TO OVERRIDE THESE SETTINGS.

So copy config.template.json to config.json and edit it instead. I'll try to figure out the correct configuration now. Have you supplied calibration values, by the way?

[v1993]

Please, use presets.json from package from last update and do not touch it as header says.

[Sayora77]

Oh I didn't notice that. What exactly do I change in config.json because there is no profile there to modify. I have supplied calibration values.

[v1993]

In version 0.2.2 I've added "Pointed away" profile which should be what you want. Also, hopefully, changes to config will help you to create your own profiles: just add them after last comment (old template lacked comma).

If needed, I'll elaborate a bit more on where and how to add profiles on wiki. Also, I'm going to give a quick description of new profile there.

[v1993]

I've updated wiki entry. Do you have any further questions? I'll be glad to extend documentation if needed and help.

[v1993]

Any success getting last version working?

[Sayora77]

I've tried the pointed away profile and while the rotations are correct, the camera keeps jittering around in Splatoon, even when laying the remote flat making the it unplayable.

[v1993]

Are you sure your calibrations are still applied (message to console is printed about this)? If yes, does the same happen in other profiles?

[Sayora77]

The other profiles also jitter. When I run it, it does say I am applying my individual calibration values. However, I'm not sure if they are exact as they can vary each time I run autocalibrate.lua.
