Preferences - Quadstick User Manual

Preferences

Preferences settings are values that control the overall operation of the Quadstick. The Quadstick preference
settings can be tailored to an individual's needs. Globally (in prefs.csv), in a Game Configuration file for a specific
game, by Voice Command, or even in an individual game Mode sheet within a game configuration file. Most
preference values that are held in the prefs.csv file can be adjusted using the Quadstick Manager Program.
The current value of a preference setting that is active at any given moment is determined by the order in which the
value from each source is processed. Preferences are first read from the Prefs.csv file. If a game configuration file
is loaded and it has a Preferences Sheet, any values contained in it will override the values in Prefs.csv. Next, any
voice commands that change a Preference value can replace many of the values in Prefs.csv or a Preferences page.
Finally, any preference value found on a Mode sheet in a game configuration file has the final say for the value.
The Preferences found on Mode sheets are only in effect when that Mode is active. This allows an individual mode
to have a specific joystick sensitivity setting or control the center dead zone shape, to fine tune the control of the
QuadStick.
The Default Preferences spreadsheet contains the values in the prefs.csv file when the Quadstick is new. The
user can create their own copy of the Preferences spreadsheet and modify the values then download the CSV file
into the Quadstick, or use the Quadstick Manager Program to adjust them. The values in the prefs.csv file can be
