How to change (or duplicate) joystick input?

[omgitsraven]

I'm trying to write a script that will smooth out joystick input values, and I'm not sure how to approach this: can I alter the values for an existing gamepad? Or can I create a new 'virtual' gamepad, and set its values to the modified values from the real one, and then map games to use the virtual one?

If I try to write anything to xbox360[0].leftStickX, the compiler tells me that leftStickX is read-only..... I've seen some examples on the website that use ppJoy.setAxis, but when I call this, FreePIE crashes? I've seen examples that use keyboard.setKey and mouse.setButton, but the only 'set' on joystick is joystick.setRange, which doesn't seem right?

Any nudge in the right direction for ways to approach this would be appreciated!

Hi, please look into vjoy. It could work if the game works with dx input. There is a xinput plugin floating around too that can output xinput

Are there any script examples of vjoy in use? I'm not sure how to use these properties...
