arcattackandClaude Opus 4.8 c2ee7299b2 Generic joystick / HOTAS / pedals support: DirectInput 8 layer + capture wizard
Tester ask: configure non-Xbox controllers.  New L4JOY layer (DI8):
enumerates every non-XInput game device (up to 4), DIJOYSTATE2 polling
with range normalization, reacquire-on-loss, 3s hot-plug re-enum.
XInput devices are excluded via the documented RawInput IG_ VID/PID
check (live-verified skipping a real XBOX360 pad -- no double-feed).

bindings.txt grows joydev/joyaxis/joybutton/joyhat rows (device slots
by name substring or ordinal; axes X..RZ/SL0/SL1 with invert/slew/
deadzone; hats as 4-direction buttons with diagonal chords).  PadRIO
runs them through the existing channel/event machinery -- per-binding
edge arrays release automatically on detach (the #24 rule), and a
direct throttle axis maps full lever travel onto the 0..1 channel
while the gait detent still snaps a lever parked in the walk/run dead
band.

BT_JOYCONFIG=1 (joyconfig.bat) runs a console capture wizard: move
each control when prompted (stick/twist/throttle/fire), invert derived
from the move direction, hat look cluster auto-added, output written
between markers in bindings.txt with the rest of the file preserved.

Legacy L4DINPUT DIJoystick (L4CONTROLS=DIJOYSTICK) untouched.
Verified: grammar accept/reject per line, XInput-exclusion live,
30s in-mission no-device polling clean.  Awaiting a tester with real
stick hardware for axis verification.

@echo off
rem BT411 -- one-time JOYSTICK / HOTAS / pedals setup.
rem A console wizard asks you to move each control (stick, twist/rudder,
rem throttle, fire buttons); it detects what you moved and writes the
rem joystick section of content\bindings.txt. When it finishes the game
rem continues into the solo menu so you can try the bindings immediately.
rem Xbox-class controllers need NO setup -- they work out of the box.
rem Re-run this any time to redo the bindings.
