Hello, thank you for making this program, I have been messing around with it and made my own layout.
I have ran into one problem, I apologise if this has been mentioned before. But when I use the Mouse movement (with the Move option, not Point) it doesn't move whenever I have left click or right click pressed. This person has the exact same problem as I have https://github.com/univrsal/input-overlay/issues/207

Is there any fix to this? I have tried running OBS in administrator but the problem remains unfortunately.
Thank you!

Hello, a friend and I were having some issues. A config he made works fine in the visualizer on git, but does not work properly in OBS.
I've tried the same files and can confirm the same issue. I've attached the files we're using. The issue is that the directional buttons (red buttons) don't work. The other buttons work fine. This is for a HitBox controller, which registers as an XBox 360 controller in Windows.
Since it's only an issue in OBS itself, and NOT on github, I'm wondering if the OBS plugin is borked?

Tried running OBS as administrator, no luck sadly.

Thank you so much in advance if you decide to check this out.

Sadly the link is dead for me. Is there another way to download it?
 
@universallp , this plugin is AWESOME, thank you so much for your work.

I'm having one issue that I am hoping you can help me with. I am making an overlay for a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive controller (I will also make one for Super Nintendo) as I will be streaming retro games. I have successfully made the overlay and got all the buttons to work. However, the dpad registers as an analog stick. So while I have that working, I would love to have the dpad light up (like buttons) OR work like the joystick. I don't know how to change or "trick" the app to do this. As you can see the analog function isn't the best option:

I have been made aware of this issue. I made the assumption that a dpad would use buttons so now I probably have to redo a significant portion of the gamepad code to fix this which I have not had time to look at.
 
Is there a way to run two instances of OBS while this plugin is installed without having stuttering input now that OBS does not support 32-bit as of version 28.0.0? I mean, its possible to have a version 28.0.0 64-bit OBS instance and an earlier version for a 32-bit OBS instance, but ideally, I would like to keep everything up-to-date.

You can use a portable instance of obs (there's a zip archive on the downloads page) it has it's own plugin folder and will only load plugins from there.

Firstly I'd like to say thank you for creating this. I searched all around and so far your tool is the only thing I can use to create the overlay I made, which is a custom gamepad config that has various keyboard commands mapped to gamepad.
With that in mind, I have 2 questions/issues for now that I was hoping you could help with (apologies if they've been covered already):

1. Is there a way to use the graphic for analog stick movement to represent mouse movements (instead of using the dot or arrow graphics for mouse)?

2. I just installed the new version of OBS (28.1) to a separate directory on my system, leaving the old version installed in the normal location. My scenes automatically transferred over to the newer version but naturally Input Overlay sources didn't work (weren't showing up) since I had the older version of IO. I then ran the installer for latest version of Input Overlay and installed to the proper location for the newer version of OBS.
Upon launching OBS 28 as admin Input Overlay works, however my analog sticks are misplaced further up and to the left for some reason. It's fine in the overlay creation tool as well as in OBS 27, just not in OBS 28's overlay, and it's just the default location of analog sticks; they work fine and everything else works the same from what I can tell, ignoring the current issue with mouse dot being locked when click-dragging). Attached is a screenshot of what I mean, with the overlay in the bottom right.
Any ideas?

thanks again

The dot is basically the same thing as the analog stick you just have to switch out the textures

edit: it's working with my xbox controller with some joystick drift I did use Dinput when I tested with my switch pro
 
Is this Plugin compatible with VR Controls, cause I followed your documentation, but didn't find it and I cant recreate it via your guides on gamepad input setup.
 
Hello, I was using this fine with your current version of this plugin (5.0) with OBS 28.0.3 but recently it stopped working I have googled for a few days and I have tried reinstalling and running OBS as Admin. Do you know anything else I might be able to try or a way to delete the settings? I am not sure what happened.

I somehow turned on the input overlay. To fix this I went to my %appdata% folder and found the main obs INI and deleted the input settings from it I had taken a screen shot to see what changed and I guess I had turned on filtering. Figured I would post the answer as it might help someone.
