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

    @hifihedgehog hifihedgehog committed May 26, 2026
  • Web-Controller: correct the WebSocket message wire format Page showed TouchpadClick as `{type: "button", code: 16}`. Wrong shape — WebControllerServer.cs:402-411 dispatches on a wrapping `type: "input"` top-level field with a nested `kind: "button"` discriminator. The actual message the JS client sends is: {type: "input", kind: "button", code: 16, value: 1} // press {type: "input", kind: "button", code: 16, value: 0} // release The source-side comment at WebControllerServer.cs:420-421 explicitly spells this out: "controller_client.js emits a standard {type:\"input\", kind:\"button\", code:16, ...} message". Wiki was a generation behind that refactor (touchpad-click was a special-case payload before). Same correction applies to all button / axis / POV events — every input event carries that wrapping shape.

  • Web-Controller: clarify the button code 16 is PadForge-internal The page said TouchpadClick code 16 is "the canonical SDL touchpad-button code, matching SDL_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_TOUCHPAD." That conflates two things: PadForge's internal state.Buttons[] layout (where TouchpadClick is index 16) and SDL3's native SDL_GamepadButton enum (where SDL_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_TOUCHPAD = 20, not 16). CustomInputState in the engine reorders SDL3's enum so the four DPad slots are synthesized into POV[0] instead of taking buttons 11-14. That collapses 21 down to 16 for the touchpad button. Rephrased so the two concepts are clearly distinct.

  • Wiki: drop stale 'Last updated for PadForge 3.2.0' footers (22 pages) Every page on the wiki carried a '*Last updated for PadForge X.Y.Z.*' italicized footer hard-coded to 3.2.0. With 3.3.0 shipped, those footers become a lie on every page that wasn't actually re-audited for the new version — bumping them to 3.3.0 wholesale would just swap one lie for another since most pages haven't been touched since 3.2.0. Removing the footer entirely: git history of each page is the honest source of truth for currency. Wiki contributors who need to know whether a section reflects the latest behavior can read the page's commit log; no in-page label needed.

  • Devices + Web-Controller: link to new Touchpad page Devices page's Touchpads section now mentions the PTP-no-click caveat (matching the auto-map behavior) and points at the Touchpad page for per-slot configuration. Also notes the two other touchpad sources (web + overlay) that feed the same config surface. Web-Controller's Touchpad layout section now mentions that the phone's surface drives the per-slot Touchpad-tab features (mouse / stick / D-pad / gestures), not just the bare DS4 touchpad button stream.

  • Web-Controller: TouchpadClick code is 16 (SDL canonical), not 11 (the old collapsed-numbering scheme)

  • Pass 8/25: Related-pages first-word lowercase normalization + Stick-Deadzones 'Best for:' pseudo-colon sweep 41 Related-pages bullet first-words lowercased to match the established 'Page: lowercase description.' convention. Proper nouns (Xbox, DualSense, Sony, HIDMaestro, etc.) kept capitalized. One DualSense->dualSense miss caught and restored. Stick-Deadzones 'Best for:' colon-pseudo pattern dropped on all five deadzone-shape captions.

  • Pass 2/25: italic hook consistency, Related pages normalization, em-dash sweep - Italicized hook line on 12 user-facing pages that had plain hooks (Stick-Deadzones, Trigger-Deadzones, Force-Feedback, Adaptive-Triggers, Lighting, Devices, DSU-Motion-Server, Web-Controller, Settings, Driver-Management, Input-Precision, 3D-and-2D-Visualization) and Troubleshooting. - Normalized Related-pages bullet formatting across 16 user-facing pages to one convention: '- [[Page]]: lowercase description.' - Home.md: cut filler 'long list of smaller wins' from the 3.2 intro paragraph; replaced em-dash pseudo-colon with a period; converted em-dash pseudo-colon in Gyro motion bindings bullet. - Controller-Slots.md: Open-a-slot tab list now reflects 3.2 reality (Gyro tab, Adaptive Triggers and Lighting on PS slots, Impulse Triggers on Xbox + PS). Related pages expanded to link the new pages. - Devices.md and Impulse-Triggers.md: em-dash pseudo-colons converted to periods.

  • Pass 1/25: wiki link audit + empty-header table cleanup + 2026 Steam Controller mention - All 29 reversed [[Display|Target]] gollum links fixed - 1 broken anchor on Virtual-Controllers link to HIDMaestro Deep Dive resolved against actual heading slug - Lighting.md image path corrected (lighting.png -> pad-lighting.png) - 10 empty-header 2-col "| | |" label tables rewritten as prose paragraphs across Controller-Slots, Installation, Devices, Dashboard, Settings, Web-Controller - Home.md "New in 3.2" now lists 2026 Steam Controller support via the bundled SDL3 fork

  • Wiki rewrite: simple-English voice across all user-facing pages Rewrites 18 user-facing pages and adds hooks to 7 dev-deep-dive pages. Each user-facing page now opens with H1 then a one-sentence hook, strips banned vocabulary, replaces em-dash pseudo-colons with periods, and ends with a version marker. User-facing rewrites - Installation, Dashboard, Controller-Slots, Button-and-Axis-Mappings - Stick-Deadzones, Trigger-Deadzones, Force-Feedback, Adaptive-Triggers, Lighting - Macros, Profiles, Devices, DSU-Motion-Server, Web-Controller - Settings, Driver-Management, Input-Precision, Troubleshooting - 3D-and-2D-Visualization New 3.2 content woven into Force-Feedback (Impulse Triggers, Audio Bass Trigger Rumble, Constant Trigger Force) using actual in-app labels from Strings.resx. Profiles documents the new Toggle Virtual Controllers Disabled shortcut mode. Settings notes the stable-across-language-switch fix. DSU Motion Server covers the Gyro Aim Engage picker subtitle. Dev-deep-dive hooks added - Input-Pipeline, Settings-and-Serialization, ViewModels, XAML-Views, Engine-Library

  • 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.
