The SDL forums have moved to discourse.libsdl.org.

Hi guys,

I don't want to irritate you, but I was surprised when I saw this,
it's concerning 'testhaptic.c':
At line 200:
if (supported & SDL_HAPTIC_INERTIA) {
SDL_Log(" effect %d: Condition Inertia\n", nefx);
efx[nefx].type = SDL_HAPTIC_SPRING;
The latter line should be probably:
"efx[nefx].type = SDL_HAPTIC_INERTIA;"

But that's just the bug-report, what's more interesting is the
combination of the following facts:
- 6 years of maintained code without anyone noticing this *tangible* bug:
Line 13:
Copyright (c) 2008, Edgar Simo Serra
Line 2:
Copyright (C) 1997-2014 Sam Lantinga
- Some evidence that this bug might be intentional, maybe even used
for malicious practices
Line 199:
/* The pretty awesome inertia effect. */
- The fact that the original and official maintainer "Edgar Simo
Serra" does not answer to any relevant mail (concerning haptic) on the
SDL mailinglist.

Anyway, sorry for the somewhat inconvenient mail, but some issues
mentioned in this mail should be fixed.

Best regards,
Elias

Fixed, thanks!

Most people use the simple rumble effect, so it's not surprising that this was missed.

No problem

Any chance to fix the other (far more important) issues I mentioned in
my "[SDL] Haptic coding bugs and fixes for Linux FF" mail?
They are also related to ForceFeedback, and it's been 1.5 months without answer.


I understand

Elias
