The Main Section

This version has been released to celebrate the New Year, but it is not a filler at all.

It includes lots of code rewrites that lets your game recognize custom gamepads and their corresponding key bindings on the fly.

The extras/profiles directory contains 3 INI files that will let you setup the default values for 3 different scenarios, namely a single keyboard, a not so famous gamepad, and a very well known controller. They look pretty much like a typical RPG Maker Game.ini file with some small but important difference. The keyboard profile is called kb_generic.ini

To let HiddenChest create new profiles, you will need to create a new directory in your game's root folder called Input. Place all of your INI files there to let the engine process all the default key bindings for those specific devices.

Code:

Game.exe
Game.ini
- Audio
- Data
- Graphics
- Input
- - kb_generic.ini
- - vendor_gamepadmodel.ini

Once the engine has created the corresponding Ruby file there, you can safely remove its INI file. Just don't delete any files.

You will have to delete the Ruby files stored in this Input directory if you want to recreate them by parsing the INI files once again.

The extras/help folder now sports 3 new MD pages that include official documentation of the Input::KeyBindings related classes that HiddenChest now relies upon to let you customize your key bindings via pressing the F1 button OR by creating some custom RGSS scene script for the RPG Maker series. (You would have to open that menu some other way.)

NOTE:

Input.update method rewrites and overwrites are STRONGLY discouraged. They would break the system for sure.
