SdlDeviceWrapper

File: PadForge.Engine/Common/SdlDeviceWrapper.cs Namespace: PadForge.Engine

Wraps an SDL joystick (and optionally its Gamepad overlay) for unified device access: open/close, state polling, rumble, GUID construction, and object enumeration. Implements ISdlInputDevice.

Properties (beyond ISdlInputDevice)

Property Type Default Description
Joystick IntPtr IntPtr.Zero Raw SDL joystick handle. Always valid when open.
GameController IntPtr IntPtr.Zero SDL Gamepad handle. Zero if not a gamepad.
Haptic IntPtr IntPtr.Zero SDL haptic handle. Non-zero when haptic FFB available.
ProductVersion ushort 0 USB Product Version
JoystickType SDL_JoystickType UNKNOWN SDL joystick type classification
IsGameController bool (computed) true if opened as an SDL Gamepad

Public Methods

Method Signature Description
Open bool Open(uint instanceId) Opens SDL device. Tries Gamepad first, falls back to Joystick. Populates all properties.
GetCurrentState CustomInputState GetCurrentState(bool forceRaw = false) Routes to GetGamepadState() (remapped) or GetJoystickState() (raw) based on device type and forceRaw.
GetDeviceObjects DeviceObjectItem[] GetDeviceObjects() Builds DeviceObjectItem[] for each axis, hat, button. First 6 axes use standard GUIDs; extras use Slider.
GetInputDeviceType int GetInputDeviceType() Maps SDL_JoystickType to InputDeviceType.
SetRumble bool SetRumble(ushort lowFreq, ushort highFreq, uint durationMs) Sends rumble via SDL_RumbleJoystick. false if unsupported.
StopRumble bool StopRumble() SetRumble(0, 0, 0).

Static Methods

Method Signature Description
BuildProductGuid static Guid BuildProductGuid(ushort vid, ushort pid) Synthetic GUID from VID+PID. bytes[0–1]=VID LE, [2–3]=PID LE, [4–15]=0x00.
BuildInstanceGuid static Guid BuildInstanceGuid(string devicePath, ushort vid, ushort pid, uint instanceId, string serial = null) Deterministic GUID via MD5. Priority: VID+PID+Serial (stable), device path (wired), VID+PID+SDL ID (session-only).
HatToCentidegrees static int HatToCentidegrees(byte hat) SDL hat bitmask to centidegrees (−1 for centered).
DpadToCentidegrees static int DpadToCentidegrees(bool up, bool down, bool left, bool right) 4 D-pad booleans to centidegrees (supports 8-way diagonals).

Gamepad State Reading

GetGamepadState() reads through SDL's gamecontrollerdb mapping layer, producing a standardized layout:

Output Indices
Axes [0]=LX, [1]=LY, [2]=LT, [3]=RX, [4]=RY, [5]=RT
Buttons [0]=A, [1]=B, [2]=X, [3]=Y, [4]=LB, [5]=RB, [6]=Back, [7]=Start, [8]=LS, [9]=RS, [10]=Guide
POV[0] Synthesized from gamepad D-pad buttons
Sensors Gyro and Accel populated if available

Guide suppression: When Back+Start+Guide are all pressed, Guide is suppressed (Windows/XInput synthesizes Guide from this combo).

Extra raw buttons: Raw joystick buttons beyond index 10 are appended (e.g., DualSense touchpad click), excluding indices consumed by the gamepad mapping (ParseMappedButtonIndices()).

Joystick State Reading

GetJoystickState() reads raw joystick input (no gamepad remapping):

  • Axes: SDL signed (−32768..32767) converted to unsigned (0..65535) via - short.MinValue. First MaxAxis go to Axis[], overflow to Sliders[].
  • Hats: SDL bitmask to centidegrees via HatToCentidegrees.
  • Buttons: Uses RawButtonCount (not NumButtons) for full raw coverage.

HID Product String Fallback

SDL3 may return a raw VID/PID string (e.g., "0x16c0/0x05e1") for unknown devices. IsRawVidPidName() detects this; TryGetHidProductString() queries the HID product string via CreateFile + HidD_GetProductString P/Invoke.

Haptic Open Strategy

OpenHaptic() opens SDL_OpenHapticFromJoystick and selects the best strategy:

  1. LeftRight — best for dual-motor
  2. Sine — periodic fallback
  3. Constant — last resort

Devices with both simple rumble and LeftRight haptic prefer simple rumble (more reliable for gamepads). Gain set to 100 if SDL_HAPTIC_GAIN is supported.

HapticEffectStrategy

File: PadForge.Engine/Common/SdlDeviceWrapper.cs Namespace: PadForge.Engine

public enum HapticEffectStrategy
{
    None,       // No haptic support
    LeftRight,  // Best: SDL_HAPTIC_LEFTRIGHT (dual-motor)
    Sine,       // Periodic effect (period varies by motor)
    Constant    // Fallback: constant level from dominant motor
}

Private Methods

Method Description

ApplyHapticEffect(device, ref effect) Creates on first call, updates in-place after. Avoids create/destroy churn.
StopAndDestroyHapticEffect(device) Stops and destroys active haptic effect. Resets effect state.

MappingTranslation

File: PadForge.Engine/Data/MappingTranslation.cs Namespace: PadForge.Engine.Data

Translates mapping property names between virtual controller layouts using positional equivalence.

Key Types

public enum ControlCategory { Button, Axis, AxisNeg, DPad }
public record MappingSlot(ControlCategory Category, int Position);

MappingSlot represents a canonical position (e.g., "3rd button", "1st axis negative"). Translation converts source property name to MappingSlot, then to the target layout's property name.

Public Methods

Method Signature Description
GetPosition static MappingSlot GetPosition(string propertyName, VirtualControllerType type, bool isCustomVJoy) Property name to canonical MappingSlot
GetPropertyName static string GetPropertyName(MappingSlot slot, VirtualControllerType type, bool isCustomVJoy) Canonical MappingSlot to property name
IsSameLayout static bool IsSameLayout(...) true if source and target share property names
GetLayoutLabel static string GetLayoutLabel(VirtualControllerType type, bool isCustomVJoy) Display label (e.g., "Xbox 360", "vJoy", "MIDI", "KB+M")

Supported Layouts

Layout Property Name Examples Notes
Gamepad (Xbox 360 / DS4 / vJoy preset) ButtonA, LeftThumbAxisX, DPadUp Xbox 360 and DS4 share property names. Buttons: A=0..Guide=10. Axes: LX=0..RT=5.
vJoy Custom VJoyBtn0, VJoyAxis2, VJoyAxis2Neg, VJoyPov0Up Indexed by position. POV 0 only maps to D-Pad.
MIDI MidiNote0, MidiCC3, MidiCC3Neg No D-Pad support (returns null).
KB+M KbmMBtn0, KbmMouseX, KbmMouseXNeg, KbmKey20, KbmScroll Mouse buttons 0–4, VK codes, 3 mouse axes. D-Pad mapped to arrow keys.

Internal Layout Kinds

private enum LayoutKind { Gamepad, VJoyCustom, Midi, Kbm }
  • Xbox360, DS4, and vJoy gamepad preset all resolve to LayoutKind.Gamepad.
  • vJoy with isCustomVJoy=true resolves to LayoutKind.VJoyCustom.
  • IsSameLayout compares resolved LayoutKind values.
