Added keyboard and mouse input remapping, rudimentary mouse movement to joystick logic and more

[kalaposfos13]

I changed the original hard-coded switch case keyboard inputs to handling keyboard key - controller button pairs with std::map-s, to which the input pairs get loaded to from a file in the user/ directory (currently hard-coded to keyboardInputConfig.ini).
Mouse movement is baked to the right joystick at the moment, and is handled by polling the mouse delta position.
I didn't touch the other input modes only the keyboard, to which i also put mouse input too.
The provided ini file currently has a souls inspired bloodborne layout.
I also added a robust multi-key input system that is able to accept a key-modifier key pair as input.
F8 reparses the config file and you can even change inputs while ingame
F9 toggles mouse capture

Update:
Mouse movement input is now not hard-coded, and can be set to either joystick, and it can be toggled ingame with f7, as it currently overwrites all other inputs to the bound joystick.

i have some doubt for mouse . Most games calls sceMouse lib library to do it natively . check draft #633

[kalaposfos13]

Well for the games that support it just disable this? I wrote this specifically for Bloodborne that doesn't have support, and there, this works fine. I know that this isn't the cleanest option, but for some games you use either this or nothing

[georgemoralis]

well sure bb what else :D . Need to check how to have both working . Maybe have an config option to enable/disable this

[kalaposfos13]

I checked the libMouse branch, and it looks like it can coexist with this, even without manual config other than not adding mouse bindings to my keyboardInputConfig.ini file like this:
This is my waitEvent:

case SDL_EVENT_KEY_DOWN:
case SDL_EVENT_KEY_UP:
case SDL_EVENT_MOUSE_BUTTON_UP:
case SDL_EVENT_MOUSE_BUTTON_DOWN:
    SDL_AddTimer(33, keyRepeatCallback, (void*)payload_to_timer);
    onKeyPress(&event);
    break;

and this is yours:

case SDL_EVENT_KEY_DOWN:
case SDL_EVENT_KEY_UP:
  onKeyPress(&event);
  break;
case SDL_EVENT_MOUSE_BUTTON_DOWN:
case SDL_EVENT_MOUSE_BUTTON_UP:
  onMouseAction(&event);
  break;

These can be merged into one, and while I haven't tested this, this will probably work fine, since they use different things, and the overhead of checking mouse input both ways is probably negligible.
Here's an example of merging the two:

case SDL_EVENT_MOUSE_BUTTON_UP:
case SDL_EVENT_MOUSE_BUTTON_DOWN:
    onMouseAction(&event);
    // no break here
case SDL_EVENT_KEY_DOWN:
case SDL_EVENT_KEY_UP:
    SDL_AddTimer(33, keyRepeatCallback, (void*)payload_to_timer);
    onKeyPress(&event);
    break;

What are the new controls and how do I change them? I really wanna take the X O Square and Triangle buttons off the Numpad. That would help a lot!

You can find the new bindings in the user/keyboardInputConfig.ini file, and they are already changed. To use it, just copy it to your user/ directory and you are good to go, and the syntax is fairly straightforward

Quick notice, as it stands now mouse wheel support is incompatible with Logitech mouse software due to an unknown bug (the wheel inputs don't get registered correctly, the rest work fine)

[raphaelthegreat]

This needs to be a separate header, and a constexpr std::string_view so it has no runtime overhead

[raphaelthegreat]

These dont belong in a windows class, please separate them in the input/ directory ideally

[raphaelthegreat]

Ditto

Suggested change

	void parseInputConfig(const std::string game_id = "") {
	void parseInputConfig(std::string_view game_id = "") {

I'm currently rewriting this (yet again) to make inputs update flags, and then update the virtual controller from said flags to make things like wasd-to-joystick better (example: currently pressing a+d, then releasing d will stop the player even though a is still pressed), I'll incorporate these into that update.

[kalaposfos13]

At this point, I think the rewrite is in a good enough state for people to start using. More 1000 lines of code translates to about 6 changes for the end user, so here they are:

• Input combinations have changed from a key and modifier key to 3 keys of any kind.
• modkey_toggle got renamed to key_toggle, as you can now set any key to toggle any other key's virtual state.
• The W-S-S issue (where you press W, then S, then release S, and the character stops instead of continuing forward) is now fixed.
• A lot of pressed input at once are now less likely to 'jam' the system
• Wheel inputs are hopefully fixed once and for all
• Mouse input toggle is moved from f9 to f7, as f9 is 'pause emulator' if the ctrl f10 debug menu is active

And there is also such a moment:

I tested it for literally 10 minutes and only Bloodborne, I did not check other functions.

Thanks for the feedback! As for impossible-to-guess keybind names, they can be found on the qt-config-gui branch in the Help section, so it's not completely hidden. For your video, I was able to replicate it myself: it seems that if you hold both a and d or w and s, the joystick input is also activated.
