Force feedback integration

[danwillm]

Integrate a force feedback interface between the driver and games.

Using OpenVR's IVRIOBuffer interface is probably the most suitable way to do this, but modding may also be necersarry.

it might be worth noting that that wiki page was updated 2 days ago to mark that interface as deprecated

relevant issue: ValveSoftware/openvr#1530

I saw that as well, which is unfortunate. To my knowledge, there's no other way to achieve communication between applications and drivers directly through OpenVR other than that interface, which is a shame.

It would be interesting to know why it was deprecated.

well, perhaps you (or someone else, idk) should go talk to them on that issue (or open a new issue, idk) because they seemed open to going "hey, what do you need it for, we can point you in the right direction and/or work on a new api for it"

if i were more involved/didn't have too many other things on my plate i'd offer to help with that, but i'm not.
