  • Strip em-dash pseudo-colons and pseudo-period semicolons across wiki prose

  • Wiki dev pages: fix 3 more stale 2-variant references 2D-Overlay-System.md: 'How All Views Relate' step 5 said EnsureModel maps PlayStation->DS4 and everything else->XBOX360. Now reflects the actual 5-way HMaestroProfileCatalog.ResolveAssetFolders dispatch. XAML-Views.md: Controller Tab Type Icon DataTrigger value was listed as 'Microsoft', actual value is 'Xbox'. Also clarified that the icon resource keys cover the whole family, not just DS4/360. Input-Precision.md: PlayStation slot header was 'DS4 protocol' only; broadened to 'DS4 / DualSense protocol' since DualSense profiles also emit 8-bit sticks and triggers.

  • Dev wiki: document all 4 3D model classes and all 5 2D layouts 3D-Model-System.md: add detailed sections for ControllerModelXboxOne and ControllerModelDualSense (mesh groups, color palettes, rotation points, material assignment order). Expand OBJ Mesh Files listing to include XBOXONE (46 meshes) and DualSense (48 meshes) directories. Rewrite EnsureModel() docs to reflect the actual 4-way HMaestroProfileCatalog.ResolveAssetFolders branching plus the xbox-series-* ProfileId Share-button gate. 2D-Overlay-System.md: add Layout sections for DualSenseLayout, XboxOneSLayout, and XboxSeriesXLayout. Expand PNG Asset Structure listing to include XBOXONE, XBOXSERIES, and DualSense directories. Rewrite Model Selection docs to reflect the actual 5-way layout dispatch in BuildCanvas().

  • Lighting tab reset buttons + v3 terminology sweep Refreshes pad-lighting screenshot to capture the four new reset buttons (Lightbar Mode, LED Brightness, Player Pattern, Mute LED Mode) plus the rest of the slot-0 PadPage tabs and slot-type config bars against the post-deploy build. Wiki prose: drops residual v2 phrasing (ExtendedConfig.IsGamepadPreset, DualShock4 / Xbox 360 enum names, "Microsoft" / "Sony") and routes through the v3 OutputType / VirtualControllerType vocabulary instead.

  • Deep v3 resync: vJoy purge, Microsoft→Xbox terminology, current features Sweep residual v2 vJoy / ViGEmBus content out of user-facing pages and replace stale dev-page class names with the v3 unified HIDMaestro pipeline. Restore correct family-name terminology (Xbox / PlayStation / Extended, not Microsoft / Sony — those enum identifiers exist purely for v2 PadForge.xml back-compat per the in-source enum comment). User-facing pages (Home, Dashboard, Controller-Slots, Devices, Settings, Driver-Management, Troubleshooting, Force-Feedback, Web-Controller, 3D-and-2D-Visualization, 2D-Overlay-System, Installation, Stick-Deadzones, Trigger-Deadzones, Input-Precision): - vJoy slot type, "vJoy driver limit", and vJoy install steps removed - Troubleshooting: "vJoy Phantom Controllers" section deleted (v2 N²-bug, doesn't exist in HIDMaestro), other vJoy sections rewritten for HM - Force-Feedback: HID PID 1.0 framing for Extended; new Sony Report 0x01 rumble passthrough section - 3D-and-2D-Visualization: PlayStation touchpad preview (live finger spheres) and click-to-map TouchpadClick documented - 2D-Overlay-System: touchpad highlight visual spec (sampled colors) - Web-Controller: DS4 layout button-11 collapse for TouchpadClick Dev pages (Architecture-Overview, Engine-Library, Build-and-Publish, HIDMaestro-Deep-Dive, Input-Pipeline, SDL3-Integration, Services-Layer, Settings-and-Serialization, Driver-Installation-Internals, ViewModels, XAML-Views, Virtual-Controllers, Button-and-Axis-Mappings): - Stale Xbox360VirtualController / DS4VirtualController / ExtendedVirtualController / VJoyRawState references replaced with the v3 unified HMaestroVirtualController + ExtendedRawState - Step 5 prose updated to HMContext.SubmitState / SubmitRawReport with Sony Report 0x01 passthrough - HIDMaestro-Deep-Dive: HM 1.1.x → 1.2.0 - Services-Layer: false claim that Extended slots reset to "Microsoft (Xbox 360) gamepad preset" replaced with the actual behavior (ProfileId = GetDefaultProfileId(type), Custom "PadForge Game Controller" for Extended) - Three broken [[vJoy Deep Dive]] links retargeted to [[HIDMaestro Deep Dive]] - Virtual-Controllers gets a top-of-page editor's note flagging it for a full hand-rewrite (the deep sections still describe deleted v2 classes) Microsoft references kept where they are real: NuGet package Microsoft.Windows.Devices.Midi2, registry paths under SOFTWARE\Microsoft\, ".NET runtime download from Microsoft", literal VirtualControllerType.Microsoft enum-value citations, MaxXbox360Slots constant name (preserved from v2), [XmlEnum("Sony")] attribute string, OpenXInput Microsoft-trademark disclaimer.

  • Fix mojibake throughout the wiki + rewrite Input-Precision Stage 5 for v3 Mojibake sweep: 1067 sequences across 17 .md files. Earlier passes had round-tripped UTF-8 punctuation through a CP1252 layer, baking the literal three-character mojibake into the files (em-dash → â + € + ", en-dash, right arrow, box-drawing chars, middle dot, multiplication sign, etc.). Restored to the proper Unicode codepoints: — – → ↔ ← │ ├ └ · ×. Input-Precision Stage 5 rewrite: the page still described 'Stage 5: vJoy Output (15-bit unsigned)' which doesn't exist in v3. v3 has a single HIDMaestro Output stage with three sub-cases: - Microsoft (Xbox 360): signed 16-bit sticks, 8-bit triggers - PlayStation (DS4): 8-bit sticks AND triggers (DS4 protocol) - Extended (HM custom HID): 16-bit unsigned sticks, 8-bit triggers by default, raisable to 16-bit per profile Verified against HIDMaestro's HidDescriptorBuilder.cs (AddStick default bits=16, AddTrigger default bits=8) and PadForge's HMaestroVirtualController.cs (SubmitGamepadState normalizes through float at the SDK boundary). Output Throughput section: dropped the vJoy single-IOCTL note, replaced with HIDMaestro single-call SubmitState description. Summary table axis-resolution rows now reflect per-VC-type wire bit depth. Stage 3 callout pointing at Stage 5. Pseudo-colon em-dash converted to period per the project style rule.

  • Bulk v3 terminology sweep across remaining wiki pages (23 files) Mechanical s/// pass on the names that don't depend on architectural context: ViGEmBus -> HIDMaestro, ViGEmClient -> HIDMaestro SDK, VJoy -> Extended (the C# enum value name appearing in narrative text), 'DirectInput (vJoy)' -> 'Extended (HIDMaestro)', 'Xbox 360 / DualShock 4' (slot type pair) -> 'Microsoft / PlayStation', etc. Pages already hand-rewritten upstream were left alone (Home, Installation, Driver-Management, HIDMaestro-Deep-Dive). Virtual-Controllers got the same pass since it's a central reference. Caveat: many of the deeper architecture pages (Driver-Installation- Internals, Input-Pipeline, ViewModels, XAML-Views, Engine-Library, etc.) still describe v2-era *implementation* (vjoy.sys SetupAPI device-node creation, ViGEm.Client P/Invoke surface, etc.). The TERMINOLOGY now matches v3 but the IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS in those pages are still v2 and need a follow-up content pass to reflect the HIDMaestro SDK surface, the OpenXInput shim, the HM thread-pool lifecycle, the bubble-up cascade, etc. See HIDMaestro-Deep-Dive.md for the v3-correct version of that material.

  • Sweep em-dash pseudo-colons across developer reference pages

    @hifihedgehog hifihedgehog committed Apr 18, 2026
  • Wave 5: Visual overhaul, second polish, cross-page consistency, TOCs, diagrams Home.md: Hero section with centered about.jpg, "New in this release" callout, 6 themed sub-sections, Unicode symbols, verb-led descriptions. Visual: 3 unused dropdown screenshots added to Sticks/Triggers pages. TOCs added to 5 long dev docs. 3 new Mermaid diagrams (save/load flow, class relationships, device discovery). Cross-page consistency (user + dev): Bidirectional Related Pages across all 31 pages (94 dev cross-links, 60+ user cross-links). Feature naming standardized ("Force Raw Joystick Mode", "DualShock 4", "DirectInput (vJoy)"). Setting names matched to UI labels. 9 screenshot alt texts made descriptive. Dev doc links removed from user pages. Second polish (all pages): 200+ edits tightening prose, removing AI voice ("robust", "This ensures", "you can"), standardizing See Also sections, cutting filler.
