xInput (xbox360 controller) in quake engines

[Barnes]

Some time ago i'm add based xbox360 controller support (based on directQ)
By default left and right lower triggers work as sticks, not as buttons. MH use it for strafe move.
We can map this triggers to some buttons (fire, jumps...)?

the analog triggers report values between 0 and 255, yes.
just consider them pressed if they're above 128 and depressed if lower.

buttons = (uint32_t)xinput.buttons;
if (xinput.lefttrigger>127) buttons |= 0x10000;
if (xinput.righttrigger>127) buttons |= 0x20000;

and then pretend it has 18 buttons instead of 16. you can then bind it or not, and scale(via cvar) any stick movement from them to 0 or not.

I can't remember why I used them for strafe, although I think that the N64 version of Quake used the equivalent buttons, and I would have probably followed that lead.
