xbox controller control while window out of focus

[murphdolton]

Hello, I'm trying to set up 8 player local splitscreen using the netplay build. The game doesn't accept controller input when the game window is out of focus. Can you add an option or just make it default to controllable when out of focus? Thanks

I can add the option later, but for now you can set the SDL_JOYSTICK_ALLOW_BACKGROUND_EVENTS environment variable to 1.

If you don't know how to do that:

• If you're on Windows, you can use this script to run the game.
• If you're on Linux, run it like so: SDL_JOYSTICK_ALLOW_BACKGROUND_EVENTS=1 ./pd.exe.

Thanks, 8 player local splitscreen is working like a charm. This is gonna blow some of my buddys minds

Keep in mind that netplay is very early and a lot of the game modes and some weapons do not work.
