InputCommon: Introducing the "Dynamic Input Texture". Configuration links an emulated input action to an image based on what host key is defined for that emulated input. Specific regions are called out in configuration that mark where to replace an input button with a host key image.

# Dolphin Dynamic Input Textures Specification (v1)
|
||||
|
||||
## Format
|
||||
Dynamic Input Textures are generated textures based on a user's input formed from a group of png files and json files.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
\__ Dolphin User Directory
|
||||
\__ Load (Directory)
|
||||
\__ DynamicInputTextures (Directory)
|
||||
\__ FOLDER (Directory)
|
||||
\__ PNG and JSON GO HERE
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
``FOLDER`` can be one or multiple directories which are named after:
|
||||
* a complete Game ID (e.g. ``SMNE01`` for "New Super Mario Bros. Wii (NTSC)")
|
||||
* one without a region (e.g. ``SMN`` for "New Super Mario Bros. Wii (All regions)").
|
||||
* Any folder name but with an empty ``<GAMEID>.txt`` underneath it
|
||||
|
||||
## How to enable
|
||||
|
||||
Place the files in the format above and ensure that "Load Custom Textures" is enabled under the advanced tab of the graphics settings.
|
||||
|
||||
### PNG files
|
||||
|
||||
At a minimum two images are required to support the generation and any number of 'button' images. These need to be in PNG format.
|
||||
|
||||
### JSON files
|
||||
|
||||
You need at least a single json file that describes the generation parameters. You may have multiple JSON files if you prefer that from an organizational standpoint.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Possible fields in the JSON for a texture
|
||||
|
||||
In each json, one or more generated textures can be specified. Each of those textures can have the following fields:
|
||||
|
||||
|Identifier |Required | Since |
|
||||
|-------------------------|---------|-------|
|
||||
|``image`` | **Yes** | v1 |
|
||||
|``emulated_controls`` | **Yes** | v1 |
|
||||
|``host_controls`` | No | v1 |
|
||||
|
||||
*image* - the image that has the input buttons you wish to replace, can be upscaled/redrawn if desired.
|
||||
|
||||
*emulated_controls* - a map of emulated devices (ex: ``Wiimote1``, ``GCPad2``) each with their own section of emulated buttons that map to an array of "regions". Each region is a rectangle defined as a json array of four entries. The rectangle bounds are offsets into the image where the replacement occurs (left-coordinate, top-coordinate, right-coordinate, bottom-coordinate).
|
||||
|
||||
*host_controls* - a map of devices (ex: ``DInput/0/Keyboard Mouse``, ``XInput/1/Gamepad``, or blank for wildcard) each with their own section of host buttons (keyboard or gamepad values) that each map to an image. This image will act as a replacement in the original image if this key is mapped to one of the buttons under the ``emulated_controls`` section. Required if ``default_host_controls`` is not defined in the global section.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Global fields in the JSON applied to all textures
|
||||
|
||||
The following fields apply to all textures in the json file:
|
||||
|
||||
|Identifier | Since |
|
||||
|-------------------------|-------|
|
||||
|``generated_folder_name``| v1 |
|
||||
|``preserve_aspect_ratio``| v1 |
|
||||
|``default_host_controls``| v1 |
|
||||
|
||||
*generated_folder_name* - the folder name that the textures will be generated into. Optional, defaults to '<gameid>_Generated'
|
||||
|
||||
*preserve_aspect_ratio* - will preserve the aspect ratio when replacing the colored boxes with the image. Optional, defaults to on
|
||||
|
||||
*default_host_controls* - a default map of devices to a map of host controls (keyboard or gamepad values) that each maps to an image.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
Here's an example of generating a single image with the "A" and "B" Wiimote1 buttons replaced to either keyboard buttons or gamepad buttons depending on the user device and the input mapped:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
{
|
||||
"generated_folder_name": "MyDynamicTexturePack",
|
||||
"preserve_aspect_ratio": false,
|
||||
"output_textures":
|
||||
{
|
||||
"tex1_128x128_02870c3b015d8b40_5.png":
|
||||
{
|
||||
"image": "icons.png",
|
||||
"emulated_controls": {
|
||||
"Wiimote1":
|
||||
{
|
||||
"Buttons/A": [
|
||||
[0, 0, 30, 30],
|
||||
[500, 550, 530, 580],
|
||||
]
|
||||
"Buttons/B": [
|
||||
[100, 342, 132, 374]
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"host_controls": {
|
||||
"DInput/0/Keyboard Mouse": {
|
||||
"A": "keyboard/a.png",
|
||||
"B": "keyboard/b.png"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"XInput/0/Gamepad": {
|
||||
"`Button A`": "gamepad/a.png",
|
||||
"`Button B`": "gamepad/b.png"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
As an example, you are writing a pack for a single-player game. You may want to provide DS4 controller icons but not care what device the user is using. You can use a wildcard for that:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
{
|
||||
"preserve_aspect_ratio": false,
|
||||
"output_textures":
|
||||
{
|
||||
"tex1_128x128_02870c3b015d8b40_5.png":
|
||||
{
|
||||
"image": "icons.png",
|
||||
"emulated_controls": {
|
||||
"Wiimote1":
|
||||
{
|
||||
"Buttons/A": [
|
||||
[0, 0, 30, 30],
|
||||
[500, 550, 530, 580]
|
||||
]
|
||||
"Buttons/B": [
|
||||
[100, 342, 132, 374]
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"host_controls": {
|
||||
"": {
|
||||
"`Button X`": "ds4/x.png",
|
||||
"`Button Y`": "ds4/y.png"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here's an example of generating multiple images but using defaults from the global section except for one texture:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
{
|
||||
"default_host_controls": {
|
||||
"DInput/0/Keyboard Mouse": {
|
||||
"A": "keyboard/a.png",
|
||||
"B": "keyboard/b.png"
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"default_device": "DInput/0/Keyboard Mouse",
|
||||
"output_textures":
|
||||
{
|
||||
"tex1_21x26_5cbc6943a74cb7ca_67a541879d5fe615_9.png":
|
||||
{
|
||||
"image": "icons1.png",
|
||||
"emulated_controls": {
|
||||
"Wiimote1":
|
||||
{
|
||||
"Buttons/A": [
|
||||
[62, 0, 102, 40]
|
||||
]
|
||||
"Buttons/B": [
|
||||
[100, 342, 132, 374]
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"tex1_21x26_5e71c27dad9cda76_3d76bd5d1e73c3b1_9.png":
|
||||
{
|
||||
"image": "icons2.png",
|
||||
"emulated_controls": {
|
||||
"Wiimote1":
|
||||
{
|
||||
"Buttons/A": [
|
||||
[857, 682, 907, 732]
|
||||
]
|
||||
"Buttons/B": [
|
||||
[100, 342, 132, 374]
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"tex1_24x24_003f3a17f66f1704_82848f47946caa41_9.png":
|
||||
{
|
||||
"image": "icons3.png",
|
||||
"emulated_controls": {
|
||||
"Wiimote1":
|
||||
{
|
||||
"Buttons/A": [
|
||||
[0, 0, 30, 30],
|
||||
[500, 550, 530, 580]
|
||||
]
|
||||
"Buttons/B": [
|
||||
[100, 342, 132, 374]
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"host_controls":
|
||||
{
|
||||
"DInput/0/Keyboard Mouse": {
|
||||
"A": "keyboard/a_special.png",
|
||||
"B": "keyboard/b.png"
|

}
|
