A question on your article https://www.25.wf/posts/2020-11-03-joystick-gremlin.html. You say that THROTTLE_BUTTONS variable is a map referencing button numbers. Did you create that yourself of is it somewhere in the JG code. I haven't found it yet digging through the code. The same for VJOY_BUTTONS.

Your article really helped me get a better grasp of creating and using plugins for JG. The API Pages on JG are not that helpful as how to actually do it.

Sorry for the late reply, THROTTLE_BUTTONS and VJOY_BUTTONS are my own variables to make the code more readable. They are defined here and here respectively.

That's exactly why I wrote this small post, thanks for letting me know ! :)

Quite late to the party, my apologies- but your post was extremely helpful to me, thank you!

I have another question- have you experimented at all with imports? I put all my button defs in another file, and would like to import them in my code files- but nothing seems to work. Well, not nothing- I can specify the button def files as plugins in their own right (as long as they appear before any plugin that references them), but I'd like to be able to use something like
import fa18_buttons_def
where I've got that file in the same general location as the plugin I've written.
I've tried a bunch of different thing, like using os.chdir(), explicitly specifying the path, and so on. I haven't messed around with setting PYTHONPATH and other similar things, as I don't want to change things globally. I'm relatively new to python, so perhaps my global change concerns are unwarranted- but I'd appreciate you sharing any experience you have here.

Thanks again for your previous efforts!
