List of XML settings

Post by pball »

Would it be possible to get a list of all the available settings you can edit via XML files? For instance I believe an older driver version let you set the dead zone via the gui and that is no longer available via the gui. So a list of all the settings such as deadzone, leds (I know there is an option for this but not in the gui), and etc would be nice.

I find the removing (or moving) of options that used to be in the gui strange. Such as the led option and calibrate options being only in the right click on the taskbar icon. Also I do not see any way to stop the driver without killing the process from the taskmanager, which I did to refresh the settings I changed manually using an XML file since they are no longer in the gui.

I tried to populate the files in the default directory with all the available options. In particular look at base.xml and global.xml. Consider them the dictionaries full of words that you can create your own sentences from. You can copy Actions from those files into your own Cfg files. That is all that 3DxConfig did.

Where might those files be located? I checked the program files and appdata roaming folders and didn't see them.

On my machine they happen to be in: C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\3DxWinCore64\Cfg

Hmm that folder doesn't exist for me. Though I did just uninstall the latest driver and went back to 3.18.0 since it doesn't have the annoying roll bug the newest driver release has.

The XML files and the joystick, kb, mouse emulation, plugin extensions, any app support, etc is a 3DxWare 10 thing.

Ok, I'll look for those files after I hear that bug is fixed and upgrade drivers again. Thanks

I'm glad I saved my installer of Beta 16 from ages ago so I don't have to deal with this ridiculous manual XML editing to add custom profiles. I'd like to vote for some option to go back to that far more functional GUI.
