I searched but couldn't find anything on this - is it possible to bind joystick buttons in the wgaf file ?
In game when I configure keyboard the joystick buttons come up as JOY0BUTTON1 etc.
typing
/bind "JOY0BUTTON1" activate
in game works but if I try
bind JOY0BUTTON1 activate
or
bind "JOY0BUTTON1" activate
in my config file it doesn't work

am I missing something ?
I could use gamepad companion to map the kuttons to keystrokes but this seems unelegant and doesn't free up keys ?

Its in a different file, config.ini so indeed, you are missing something.

[Edit]

eeek wrong name. heh

wgaf.cfg is the file you want to add it too. If you add it to that file while Vendetta is running it will be replaced when Vendetta quits, unless you /load wgaf.cfg while ingame.

Thanks UPN all the buttons etc are there for me to add my binds, really easy.
I'd tried adding to the wgaf, then running vendetta but it just kept ignoring them and leaving them out when it rewrote the file when I quit - maybe that's because it expects to find joystick config variables in the config file.

Thanks again - all I have to do now is learn to fly with a joystick, boy is it different !
