Q: How to make custom button mapping persistent in Half-Life 2

I'm playing Half-Life 2 with an Xbox 360 wired controller in Ubuntu Steam, but the default key mapping is really weird: not only is the default mapping strange to me (e.g. L_SHOULDER for jumping), many actions are just unmapped. Anyway, every time I run the game I have to remap everything, since...

StrixVaria

such room

OrigamiRobot

StrixVaria

7:09 PM

Oh yeah @3ventic.

3ventic

Have fun, mods

I need more flags

user15026

More sleep was definitely the best choice.

StrixVaria

@JasonBerkan This is what would make me a good mod.

Unionhawk

I told you so

Jason Berkan

@StrixVaria Humour?

OrigamiRobot

7:10 PM

@3ventic Tempted to flag this :P

Stack Exchange

badp has removed StrixVaria from the list of this room's owners.

StrixVaria

STOP THAT

Unionhawk

such abuse

OrigamiRobot

@BADP WONT BE ABLE TO DO THAT IN A FEW DAYS

3ventic

Wow guys, just wow.

Unionhawk

7:10 PM

Yes he will. It won't do anything.

badp

The price you nave to pay for doge is a terribile one

3ventic

Wow was the name of my first English book at school.

Arperum

@AshleyNunn Good morning!

user15026

@arperum again ;)

badp

I removed him from mobile chat

That's just how removed Strix is

OrigamiRobot

7:11 PM

doge confuses @badp and is therefore great

Arperum

@AshleyNunn Details.

badp

It does not confuse me

3ventic

Doge should be burned alive and buried in snow.

badp

It makes me sad

user15026

@arperum :D

badp

7:12 PM

and disappointed

3ventic

And then reanimated to play a role in some soap opera.

Arperum

@3ventic No. Kill it more.

3ventic

That's how much I hate soap opera.

Unionhawk

You're disappointed in room owner abuse? WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH @BADP?

Arperum

@AshleyNunn I have ALL the time now! Woohoo. Week of (mostly) games.

Some woodcutting and foodmaking too.

user15026

7:14 PM

@arperum that's right, you're on vacation now! :D enjoy it. Play all the games!

Arperum

@AshleyNunn No foodmaking for a bit though, I just ate a kg of Spaghetti. Still deciding on what I want to play.

MBraedley

I almost just used goto. Of my on volition. I feel so dirty. Luckily I fixed it.

@3ventic much warm

sad

meh

7:18 PM

@StrixVaria good

StrixVaria

doge is second best meme after yo dawg

Arperum

@StrixVaria Doge is the absolute worst.

StrixVaria

@Arperum so hate

Jason Berkan

I'm not certain there are any good memes.

OrigamiRobot

Doge is best meme because it can be applied anywhere at any time.

3ventic

7:19 PM

@JasonBerkan You'll see in 6 to 8 weeks.

StrixVaria

@Arperum CANNOT REMOVE STAR

Arperum

@JasonBerkan At least not doge.

Jason Berkan

I mean, overuse kills every joke.

3ventic

True

Jason Berkan

And memes only work when they are overused.

@StrixVaria I need to actually watch this documentary.

"documentary"

Jason Berkan

@StrixVaria Prolonged exposure to chat has convinced me that animated GIFs are a cancer upon society.

3ventic

@JasonBerkan This is why you burn them.

241543903 used to be the best meme

Jason Berkan

Oh yeah, we all laughed at 241543903.

OrigamiRobot

Until everyone started explaining it.

StrixVaria

:241543903 test

Bleh.

Jason Berkan

Oh, it's an actual meme and not you messing up a reply? My bad.

badp

7:25 PM

@Arperum +1.

OrigamiRobot

Not to imply that people knowing its origin is bad, but all the explanations literally kill the joke.

Q: Legend of Zelda: Four Swords not showing up on Nintendo eShop

Supposedly, you can download The Legend Of Zelda: Four Swords for free until Feb 2. http://zelda.com/fourswordsanniversary/ It worked on my son's Nintendo 2ds, but not on my other son's machine.

Misfit Attic is giving away 61% off Steam coupons for Monster Loves You, if anyone is interested.

Monster Loves You on Steam

Sterno

I imagine those 61% off coupons would be pretty worthless if it wasn't on Steam.

StrixVaria

7:30 PM

Petition to @badp to restore my room ownership or step down as mod.

badp

What do you think you are, Wipqozn?

:P

Sterno

I need to decide on the 3rd candidate I'm voting for in 28 minutes.

OrigamiRobot

@Sterno Vote for yourself.

Sterno

I am not a candidate.

How long am I allowed to give World Engineer grief about not even bothering to answer the questionaire?

OrigamiRobot

You need to be a candidate to vote for yourself? I need to pick a new 1st, 2nd, and 3rd...

Wipqozn

7:33 PM

@Sterno Until he answers it.

@Sterno Just vote for me twice.

Jason Berkan

@OrigamiRobot Petition SE for write-ins.

We could all vote for ronnie.

OrigamiRobot

We would all vote for @MarkTrapp

Ullallulloo

@JasonBerkan so pro much

3ventic

That nomination video was pretty great.

from a few years ago

StrixVaria

Who unpinned wow? :(

badp

7:35 PM

@3ventic ?

Sterno

wow was pinned? Why would wow ever be pinned?

Are we talking WOW, or doge "wow"?

Because both are awful.

@Sterno It was both.

badp

@3ventic ah!

3ventic

7:36 PM

I wondered why there was /4 after the election URL so I checked 1, 2 and 3

And that caught my eye

badp

@3ventic Turns out the site is old!

Kinda.

fredley

@wip I was at a panto, so neeeer

3ventic

Yeah

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria If I restore your ownership can I replace him?

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn Fine by me.

Wipqozn

7:38 PM

Oh, damn. I was going to do it but now it would look like I was buying votes.

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn Don't worry, I won't change my vote based on your actions.

OrigamiRobot

By the laws of the petition, since @badp won't be able to restore @StrixVaria, he will be forced to step down.

StrixVaria

I just would be okay with that.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot He could just remove him and then restore him again.

Yo uneed to be more specific with your petitions!

OrigamiRobot

No, that's illegal

Stack Exchange

7:40 PM

badp has added badp to the list of this room's owners.

badp

just fyi

your plans to remove me from owner were doomed from the start!

Wipqozn

Man, now I just look like a fool!

A damned fool!

Ronan Forman

@badp Well they technically did succeed. But it was a pointless endeavour.

badp

@RonanForman Can I steal the £5 billion you don't have?

fredley

Still success!

StrixVaria

7:41 PM

@Wipqozn If you restore my room ownership, I will never remove your ownership again.

Wipqozn has added StrixVaria to the list of this room's owners.

Sterno

Bookmarked.

StrixVaria

breathes

fredley

Lies are a thing, right?

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria So you'll never remove my ownership again?

StrixVaria

7:42 PM

@Wipqozn Not for as long as I'm owner.

But if you remove me as owner I couldn't remove it anyway.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria damn. You saw my trick.

StrixVaria

So it kind of doesn't matter.

trust high five

Wipqozn

trust high five

badp

what a moving scene

Sterno

Still a better love story than Twilight.

badp

7:43 PM

I wish I could remove ownership from you both at the very same moment

OrigamiRobot

I anyone ever wants @Wipqozn to not be owner, all they have to do is make me owner.

badp

That would be a wonderful moment.

Ullallulloo

@badp You still could.

badp

@Ullallulloo oh right! I could delete the room! That would remove ALL owners at once!

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot or just ask badp. He loveS removing my ownership. It's his favourite past time.

badp

7:45 PM

It would be tragic! and dramatic! the ratings would go off the roof!

Basically an owner-based reenactment of Titanic.

AND I AM THE FUCKING ICEBERG.

of course explaining it out loud ruined the moment.

meh.

You can't have nice things.

Wipqozn

@badp You'd probably win some sort of award.

oh man guys, it's almost voting time!

GnomeSlice

iceber.gs

Wipqozn

I know who I'm voting for.

OrigamiRobot

I need to decide between two people for 3rd

3ventic

How long can we vote?

Wipqozn

7:48 PM

@OrigamiRobot Just vote for me three times.

@3ventic We have until tuesday I think.

3ventic

Alright

user15026

Yeah, it doesn't have to be done OMG right away. :) it ends the 4th, if I remember right.

Wipqozn

That is correct.

Sterno

I don't know. I heard it's best to vote quickly and without any real information.

Wipqozn

@Sterno Pretty sure that's how it works in RL.

Jason Berkan

7:51 PM

@Sterno Roll a die. Now that we have 12 candidates, that's totally possible. You can use RPG.SEs chat room.

Sterno

Could you all update your nominations to disclose your party affiliations? Pretty sure it's the only relevant criteria in any election.

Unionhawk

You could have totally simulated a 14 sided or 13 sided die.

Jason Berkan

@Sterno A number of us are non-American.

Wipqozn

@Sterno I'm associated with the party of awesome!

Arperum

@JasonBerkan final round is 10 people anyway.

Unionhawk

7:53 PM

Also, we'll only have 10.

Jason Berkan

@Arperum That's right! I forgot.

Wipqozn

IT'll be world engineer and m'vy that get booted.

Unless a bunch of people suddenly change their votes at the last second.

3ventic

And the people who withdrew their nomination

Arperum

@Wipqozn World engineer wasn't even in the bridge during all the time I think.

3ventic

but that was kind of obvious

Wipqozn

7:54 PM

@Arperum HE's usually pretty active in the bridge, although I don't think I've seen him in a few days.

Arperum

@Wipqozn That's what I mean.

Sterno

@JasonBerkan That's hardly relevant.

MBraedley

I want a fourth vote in the election. 3 isn't enough!

Jason Berkan

@Sterno I spoil my federal election ballots, as I hate our system.

MBraedley

@JasonBerkan You'd prefer something like mix-proportional representation?

Jason Berkan

7:56 PM

So, no official party affiliation.

Arperum

@JasonBerkan You write @Sterno or SkyDrift all over it next time.

Jason Berkan

@MBraedley Very much so.

Unionhawk

I'm pretty sure "Canadian" is a valid answer to "What political party do you affiliate with?"

Jason Berkan

@Arperum Actually, I generally write a short treatise on how the system sucks in each of the little circles that you are supposed to write an X in.

Arperum

@JasonBerkan Tiny writing FTW?

MBraedley

7:58 PM

@Unionhawk No. To most Americans, we're all left of centre, but the are still large differences between the parties.

Sconibulus

@Arperum he's secretly one of those guys that write on grains of rice at fairs

Arperum

@Sconibulus Clearly.

Wipqozn

50 seconds!

Unionhawk

@MBraedley Yeah, maybe if you think about it for more than 3 seconds.
