Backup Profiles

[Spark]

I just upgraded my computer with a new cpu and mobo. i wanted a clean install so i formatted the drive and reinstalled everything. I then plugged in my joystick,rudder,throttle randomly. Now, when i go to use my backed up profiles in ROF, my joystick/throttle/rudder are all on different USB ports.

I have found you can edit the input.map files with notepad++ but i don't want to spend years finding/replacing all these profiles.

Is there an 'easy' way to get this workin?. I'm just about ready to reformat again and install the devices in order, or just redo them all... I searched a bit on the ROF forums with no luck. any ideas?

I'm sorry Spark but I can't help you with that. I think that Propnut might be able to help you out.

Sorry, no ideas either. It would be nice if games saw individual controllers as what they are rather than "joy0, joy1, joy2" etc.

I tried using notepad++ to reassign them. It should have worked, but i ended up merging Joy1 with Joy2...doh.

BTW, notepad++ has a great batch feature, You can load up all of your profiles at once, then do a 'Find/Replace All in Open Files'. It will find all the 'Joy1' and replace them with 'Joy2' in all of your profiles. (You can guess this is where i F'd it up)

I think the easiest way would be BEFORE you reinstall your OS, check your profile page in ROF and see which devices you are using and where they are going, ex. Joy0 is my Stick, Joy1 is my rudder, Joy2, and so on.... Then do your upgrades. When its time to plug in your usb devices, Just plug them in with that same order and you should be golden. This worked for me(after the 2nd install and with the exception of my notepad++ F-up.)

Good luck.

Thanks for sharing that Spark, it would save us all a ton of headaches when we need to reinstall anything.
