Add 3.4 developer-reference pages and cross-links New internals pages for Remote Link, Controller Audio, Wheel force feedback, and MIDI input, each grounded in the live source (classes, files, data flow). Link them from the Home developer-reference index. Add the MIDI enumeration phase and the vendor-wheel force-feedback branch to Input Pipeline, the new persisted fields to Settings and Serialization, and the engine-side subsystems note to Services Layer. Also small prose fixes to the user pages: drop a defensive "not input-only" phrasing on Remote Link, fix a link alias on Wheel, Americanize a spelling on MIDI Input.

Semicolon → period across dev pages The "X; Y" pattern where the two clauses are separately complete reads as the AI-tell pseudo-period semicolon called out in the project's writing style notes. Replace with a period (or comma where the relation is conjunctive) across: - Architecture-Overview (PtpDeviceState description, added in this sweep) - Controller-Slots (Impulse Triggers parenthetical) - Engine-Library (three slot-assignment / template-preprocess paragraphs added in this sweep) - Home (Driver-Installation-Internals table row) - Services-Layer (move-slot-to-group-tail flow) - Settings-and-Serialization (v2 Preset enum migration note) - Troubleshooting (UAC accept step) - Virtual-Controllers (Gamepad struct dispatch note) No semantic changes.

Wiki: scrub pseudo-colon em-dashes across user + dev pages

hifihedgehog committed May 26, 2026

Wiki dev pages: cover v3.3 per-device Copy/Paste payload + TouchpadSettings round-trip Engine-Library.md: PadSetting utility-methods table refreshed. - ToJson now lists every key it actually emits: layout metadata, the four mapping dicts, the typed __TouchpadSettings sub-tree, and the clipboard-only per-slot payloads. - FromJson notes that the typed TouchpadSettings and the payloads are reattached on deserialization. - CopyFrom mentions the TouchpadSettings deep-copy alongside mapping arrays. Services-Layer.md: Copy/Paste section gained BuildPerDeviceSettingsSnapshot and ApplyPerDeviceSettingsToSlot subsections. These are the v3.3 hooks that snapshot every assigned device's PadSetting on Copy and reapply on Paste with InstanceGuid -> ProductGuid matching. The old single- device helpers stay as-is for the row-by-row Apply path.

Services-Layer: document v3.3 Touchpad custom-gesture Provider/Applier hooks SettingsService grew TouchpadGesturesProvider + TouchpadGesturesApplier callbacks in v3.3 (SettingsService.cs:48-82) to bridge to InputService without a reverse reference. The startup-order pending-flush detail matters because LoadFromFile runs before StartEngine wires the applier, so loaded gestures get stashed in _pendingTouchpadGesturesToApply and the property setter auto-flushes on first assignment. Added a short section between LoadMacros and Save to capture this. The SettingsService section had no Touchpad coverage at all before this.

Services-Layer: IsVirtualOrShadowDevice filters ViGEm names, not HIDMaestro The IsVirtualOrShadowDevice description said 'Checks name for HIDMaestro/Virtual Gamepad'. The actual method (InputService.cs:4681) doesn't look for HIDMaestro in the name — HIDMaestro is already filtered at Step 1 before this defense-in- depth check runs. The actual matches are: - online-only (offline = always false) - name contains 'ViGEm' or 'Virtual Gamepad' - path lowercase contains 'vigem' or 'virtual' - IsHidden flag is true Rewrote the bullet to describe the actual signature. Mainly catches v2-era ViGEm/vJoy installs that survived the legacy cleanup dialog.

Both were v3.0-era. Actual line ranges in current code are :595-604 and :680-700.

Input-Pipeline: drop preserveExtendedNodes parameter; rebuild field table to match current InputService. Virtual-Controllers: VendorId==0xBEEF check replaced with DescriptorHasPidFfbBlock(descriptorHex) gate in three locations. HIDMaestro-Deep-Dive: Microsoft.HIDMaestro.SDK → HIDMaestro.Core (bundled at Resources/HIDMaestro/HIDMaestro.Core.dll); fix context.CreateController(profile) call shape. Services-Layer: drop preserveExtendedNodes from Stop(); remove the "step 9" preserve-nodes branch. Engine-Library: add TOUCHPAD = 0x0800 button flag row. SDL3-Integration: SDL3 fork now filters HM virtuals at SDL_GetJoysticks, so the engine no longer maintains _filteredVigemInstanceIds. Updated Mermaid flowchart and renumbered the connect-side step list. Home: "New in 3.2" rewritten from bullet lists to story paragraphs to match the website voice. Added Gyro / Impulse Triggers / Shift Layers to the navigation tables.

ApplyProfile: document SlotProfileIds apply + single-pass MapTo transition

hifihedgehog committed Apr 28, 2026

Wiki refresh: VC reorder model (visual-position kernel-slot anchor) Reorder behavior just changed: same-profile reorders are pointer-only (no kernel teardown, no game disconnection); different-profile reorders destroy and recreate only the specific positions whose profile changed; matching positions in the same reorder still pointer-swap. Wiki refreshed to reflect this. User-facing: - Controller-Slots: rewrote "What rebuilds on reorder" with the visual-position-as-kernel-anchor model, three-bullet behavior breakdown (same-profile pointer swap, different-profile selective rebuild, disabled/awaiting invisible to kernel), and the data- identity vs kernel-slot-anchor rule. - Dashboard: tightened drag-reorder paragraph to one sentence on the pointer-swap behavior with link to Controller-Slots. Dev-facing: - Services-Layer: rewrote the Slot Reordering subsection with the five-rule spec (data identity / kernel-slot anchor / repoint-not- rebuild / same-profile zero-flicker / different-profile destroy+ recreate), per-pad vs per-VC state split, RebuildKernelOrderAfterReorder as a thin delegator, and a new RerouteVirtualControllersForReorder subsection covering the three-step implementation. Dropped v2 prose about "lowest changed position". - Input-Pipeline: cross-reference the intra-group reroute path (pointer move + same-profile reuse) vs cross-group / type-change destroy+recreate. - HIDMaestro-Deep-Dive: distinguish bubble-up cascade (deletion / inactivity-timeout) from intra-group reroute (no cascade). - Architecture-Overview: one short paragraph in Slot System covering the model + cross-reference to Services-Layer. - Virtual-Controllers: two inline corrections naming RerouteVirtualControllersForReorder (intra-group) alongside SwapSlotData (cross-group). Page-level rewrite still pending per the existing editor's note.

Wiki sync: drag-reorder rebuild logic + DS4/Microsoft identifier renames User-facing: documents the profile-aware drag-reorder behavior on the Dashboard. Active controllers in a group constitute their own ordering; the kernel rebuild fires only when an active VC's relative position to other actives changes such that a profile mismatch results. - Controller-Slots: new "What rebuilds on reorder" subsection. - Dashboard: drag-reorder paragraph extended with one-sentence summary. - 3D-and-2D-Visualization, Devices, Profiles, Macros, Troubleshooting: residual Xbox 360 / DualShock 4 family-name leakage replaced with Xbox / PlayStation in user-visible prose. Web-controller layout slugs and specific HM profile names left as-is. Dev pages: reflects the v2-era identifier renames in code that landed in 005ef8e + dc5b9fd: - Architecture-Overview, Settings-and-Serialization, Virtual-Controllers: MaxDS4Slots -> MaxPlayStationSlots. - ViewModels, XAML-Views: DS4Count -> PlayStationCount. - Services-Layer: rewrote SwapSlots / MoveSlot entries + added a new RebuildKernelOrderAfterReorder subsection covering the simplified single-pass live-subsequence comparison (replacing the older ShouldRebuildKernelOrder predicate). Also corrected a stale Xbox360 enum default in the CreateSlot row to Microsoft (the actual preserved enum identifier). - Input-Pipeline: cross-reference added to the Services-Layer reorder section since kernel-allocation rebuild lives in InputService. Preserved: VirtualControllerType.Microsoft enum value, MaxXbox360Slots constant, [XmlArray("MicrosoftSlotOrder")] attribute string, web layout slugs, ControllerModelDS4 / ControllerModelXbox360 class names, asset folder paths, HM JSON vendor "Microsoft"/"Sony" filter strings, all genuine Microsoft.Win32 / Microsoft.Windows.Devices.Midi2 / registry references.

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.
