multiple joysticks with repeated names #5

Closed meleu closed 7 years ago

Selection by name is ON.

When multiple joysticks with repeated names are connected, the script puts a trailing " #N". If one of them is disconnected the number will change and the configs may not work as expected.

I have to deal with it.

I am also facing this issue, can you just have all joysticks add a trailing "#N"? So if I connect a single PS3 controller I get PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller #1 even if it is the only connect PS3 controller?

@mmonkey good suggestion, I'll try to work on that next week.

@mmonkey done as you suggested. Thanks!
