"This has multiple actions already"

[magnusl]

Hello!

 

I have some trouble using the FSUIPC GUI to edit my button settings. I get the message "This has multiple actions already! Please edit in FSUIPC.ini" when the button, in this case A,11 is pressed/unpressed. From the start I assigned a lot of buttons and practically it works in the simulator, but I just cannot edit the buttons anymore in the GUI. Every button has multiple assignments somehow and I can't figure out why. I have removed all assignments and started from scratch, with only one button, but I get the same error.

 

My setup is Windows 10 and P3D with latest(?) FSUIPC (UpdatedByVersion=4949) and I have restarted P3D, Windows a few times.

 

My entire [buttons] section looks like this:

 

[buttons]

PollInterval=20

ButtonRepeat=20,10

IgnoreThese=A.30, A.31, A.22, A.23, A.24, A.25

1=PA,11,C65841,0

2=UA,11,C65836,0

 

And [JoyNames] section contains duplicate ID:s but when I remove 0,1,2 they appear again automagically when I start P3D/FSUIPC, so I suppose it is correct.

 

[JoyNames]

AutoAssignLetters=No

2=CH PRO PEDALS USB

C=Saitek Pro Flight Yoke

C.GUID={0E6BD7C0-B0A1-11E5-8001-44455354000}

 

Is there any obvious error with my settings which you can see?

 

Kind regards

Please post the whole of the INI file.

Please refer to the documentation where it is clearly explained that the whole purpose of that section is to relate the Windows joystick IDs (0, 1, 2 etc) to the letters you are aassigning. without those equivalent entries how would one be tied to the other? Don't delete either or the whole point of the lettering could be lost.

Here is the entire INI-file attached.

 

Yes, I just thought that the numbers are not needed anymore if I use letters - and each letter is still referencing/tied to an unique GUID - so it made some sense to me to at least give it a try :-)

 

Thanks

 

Magnus

Yes, I just thought that the numbers are not needed anymore if I use letters - and each letter is still referencing/tied to an unique GUID 

 

But FSUIPC uses the joystick ID numbers, 0-15, as used in the original Windows joystick API, and needs the number lines to relate the number to the GUID and Name as well as the Letters so it can understand the lettered assignments.

 

Anyway it actually does no harm, as you can see, FSUIPC re-constructs those from the registry next time. It might only go wrong if the registry was not complete with the IDs, and seems to happen more often now with Win8 and Win10 and Saitek drivers.

 

On the original problem:

 

I get the message "This has multiple actions already! Please edit in FSUIPC.ini" when the button, in this case A,11 is pressed/unpressed.

 

I found it. It is actually a very very old bug, and I'm surprised it hasn't occurred before. It was intriduced when I added the "IgnoreThese" facility (in 2008), as in your line

 

IgnoreThese=A.30, A.31, A.22, A.23, A.24, A.25

 

The code I inserted to cope with that re-uses the counter used to keep track of how many button assignments there are. This makes the Buttons Tab scan spurious entries in the table and get matches where none exist.

 

Without the IgnoreThese line it works fine. I'll make an interim update with this fixed today -- 4.949a. Look out for it in the Download Links subforum above later. It'll be just a replacement DLL.

 

Thanks for the report!

Ah! Thanks a lot for looking into this and for the quick solution.

 

Actually, I have been using FSUIPC3 and FS2004 for a few years and that line is from there. I have some rotary encoders I manage via a LUA script instead.

 

Will look out for the update. No hurry, it is of course not a "deal-breaker".

 

Thanks again!

Will look out for the update. No hurry, it is of course not a "deal-breaker".

 

Update is up there now.

[magnusl]

I can confirm it is working as intended now. Thanks a lot!
