I know that b1-b4 correspond to both keyboard keys and joystick buttons. Is there any way at all that I can remap the keyboard keys and joystick buttons that these go to?

Yes, there are. It's up, down, left, right.

I'm pretty sure that's what you're looking for.

That's not entirely true, McGrue. You can use other keys to move the player; I've done so! It's the dumbest workaround ever, and I'm sure there's a better way involving HookKey, but here it is (in this case, remapped to the W/S/A/D keys). This needs to be put in a function that's either HookRender()ed or HookTimer()ed... I use HookRender():

		// HAHA BEST WAY TO REMAP KEYS EVAR


	if(key[SCAN_W]) key[SCAN_UP] = 1;


	else key[SCAN_UP] = 0;


	if(key[SCAN_S]) key[SCAN_DOWN] = 1;


	else key[SCAN_DOWN] = 0;


	if(key[SCAN_A]) key[SCAN_LEFT] = 1;


	else key[SCAN_LEFT] = 0;


	if(key[SCAN_D]) key[SCAN_RIGHT] = 1;


	else key[SCAN_RIGHT] = 0;

If you hit the arrow keys, your player moves a few pixels but stops. I suppose that could be used for edging around so you don't fall off things or what have you. Anyway, I imagine that the b1 etc. keys could be remapped similarly.

Also, you should put "whitespace: normal;" in the style for <pre> tags; it should alleviate the double-spacing issue in code listings.

...now I'm trapped on her neutered campus machines.

Neutered? o_O What, were they getting frisky with each other in the labs or something?

It will be possible to remap b1-b4 in the next build, but NOT up/down/left/right, unfortunately. In the case of joysticks, the directional pad is a totally different interface than the button interfaces, and in the case of the keyboard, I do special processing on the arrow keys anyway to allow both pads to be used (because I find programs that only allow input from the small pad extremely distasteful - like ika ^_^). Your hacked WSAD code is probably the best solution.

I say throw the kiddies in DOS MODE! MWAHAH!
