Okay, well. The computer that I use to play D3 is the same computer that my sister uses for D3 as well. THe thing is she uses a joystick and I use a USB gamepad. Her's is Joy 1 (as far as D3 is concerned) and my gamepad is Joy 2. The thing is that during multiplayer (and also SP I guess) every time she dies all she has to do is hit on of the buttions on the Joy and it will make her respawn, well... When in a MP game (most likely vv ) when I die I have to hit spacebar and if I\"m really going at it then I'll fire off concussion when I spawn, a problem for a BP...
Is there any way to tell D3 to respawn if a button on Joy 2 is hit?

the primary fire button.

This might have solved a little mystery for me as well. I have Grendel's 3D Pro converter hooked up as my secondary stick, and I've experienced the same issue. I thought it was just something inherent to the converter, even though that seemed unlikely, but it looks like it's D3's problem.

Moving to Descent Multiplayer as this is a gameplay/multiplayer respawn issue.

Simple - Mr Simple

option 1 - unplug the joystick

option 2 - under game controller options
select advanced and make your (barf) gamepad (barf) the preferred (default) controller..

my choice

option 3 - use the joystick instead

barfs aside...
Yes I could do that, but if I was going to choose and obvious fix that a monkey and a type writer could fix then I wouldn't be posting here, now would I?

BTW, if you have an opinion about my controller that we had a disagreement on before in IRC, please do not bring it up here. THere is no concieveable reason. if you have an issue about it, then we can 'discuss' it in IRC.

What I say on this board has nothing to do with anything that happens or is said anywhere else.

You want answers you got them right above

If you can not understand humor on a message board or in a chat room, well then either go back to AOL or PYHOYFA

Noobz

I can understand humor...when it's funny. BTW, AOL is crap.

Jake, he teases everyone like this. Trust me when I say that if he was being an ass, you would know it.

Oh? I would've been nice to have that little piece of information sooner...

Back to the problem, so what do I do?

In your descent config, keyboard, choose another function for the spacebar, or none at all. In the profiler software, make the nessacary changes to fire missles or in the config, controller tab, choose the button on the gamepad to fire missles.

THat's a real help! Takes care of one of the problems. but I guess i'll have to deal with having to use Spacebar for now...
