3Dconnexion Space Mouse Support in Godot

Megalomaniak It might be a good idea to include the version number in the release zip file name.

Yeah, good call. I updated the zip names.

Kojack Haven't tried it yet, but I will. 🙂

Yes, please do. There is a very small market for people with Space Navs that are also using Godot.

Kojack

cybereality Market segment of 3? 🙂

Megalomaniak

Hey, it's a start!

Kojack

It's working fine for me.
Windows 10, Godot 3.4.4, both Space Navigator and Space Pilot Pro.

One thing that would be nice is saving the settings.

Does Godot support addons that are project independent? Unity pretends to not do addons that are outside of the project (so the tool is available in all projects automatically), but there's an undocumented way to do it (I use it for my Unity Connexion plugin) which Unity provides for its own editor addons.

Oh yeah, I could save the settings, it wouldn't take long. I wanted more people to test it and give feedback before I submit to the asset library. So far I only got you two here that I know tried it. Some other people mentioned they were going to download, but I never heard back from them.

I believe the plug-ins are project specific. But once it is on the asset library, you can click one button in the editor and it will install itself. So that is good enough for me, but I can double check if there is some global way to do it.

One of the issues I had with project based addons in Unity was when I wanted to use it with student projects. It got annoying to have to modify many student projects to do something that is unrelated to the project. Plus being careful to not include it when pushing changes I might make to the project.
Unreal, 3DSMax, Maya, Blender, Sketchup, Visual Studio, etc all let you install addons to the editor itself.
Obviously not something you can do if Godot doesn't support that, just something I've run into before. Ideally both would be supported, project payload addons and global editor addons.

You could probably go on the Connexion dev forums and ask if anyone wants to try it out. https://forum.3dconnexion.com/

Thanks. I'll give it a try later.

Configuration is now saved on exit.

Global editor plugins are not possible, however.

I got the Xbox controller technically working, but it's really bad. I mean, it works, but it felt really bad and not much better than just using the mouse. Not sure it's worth investigating any further, but maybe I will take another look tomorrow.

So I'm considering this project done. The 1.4.3 version is on Github and can now be installed directly in the Godot editor via the Asset Library tab.

I already have the 7 most popular devices on my plug-in (the standard consumer models) but I may update my product id database in the future. I am just pretty busy and most of those are CadMouse and stuff I don't think Godot users are using. However, I will update at some point.

Wait, it looks like they are still testing it. You can download from Github for now.
