[master] Freezing after input is used in Windows

zappybiby commented 7 years ago

With the new code suggested in https://github.com/bethesirius/ChosunTruck/pull/10, input works and the program can now move the truck. However, it is sending keys too fast, making it hard to accelerate or use other keys while the program is running. I tried adding Sleep() in different locations inside the code, however that only made the program freeze (crash / slow down significantly).

I also tried removing any commands that would be sent when the truck is going straight. This helped some, but didn't fix the problem.

If you want to help me test this, remember to go to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\profiles and edit controls.sii from di8.keyboard/fusion.mouse to sys.keyboard/sys.mouse

My theories:

Something to do with WaitKey(1) (maybe it needs to be moved to the bottom)
Inputs are being sent too fast and as a result it slows the program
Maybe we need to increase/decrease Sleep() time

We could also just use the mouse with SendInput to avoid this issue altogether. I guess I'll start working on that...

I suggest steering with mouse, because mouse steering can control the truck with continuous or analog input. When the truck is in really curved road like a highway entrance or a highway exit, we should steer it fast in short time. However, if we use keyboard key press for steering, the steering speed really depends on the steering sensitivity which is in ETS2 game play setting option. That's why our linux version uses steering with mouse. BTW, I will try your PR in my workstation on this weekend. Sorry for my late
