@universallp I'm trying to find the arcade stick looking Dpad texture you have here in your templates but cannot. Could I get a copy of it?

The problem which I had was that your tutorials are unclear with how to use presets. I struggled to find them and then I was applying wrong version presets. Eventually I had solved the issue, but this is where I had struggled. You had made new tutorial which might be clearer, I was following old video tutorial which completely ignores preset part.

What tutorial did you follow?
There's a remote connection option, but it's not very polished right now.

Here's my custom arcade stick layout. I've only tested it with my personal button config on DOA6 but this could easily be adjusted to fit other fighting games. The arcade stick layout design was inspired by ASANOHA (pot leaves) and Astro City candy ball tops. The numbered versions are for educational purposes (numpad notation). Not only am I providing ready-to-use PNGs, here is the Inkscape SVG (https://svgshare.com/i/gJs.svg) so please feel free to make your own adjustments to suit your needs. Here's a demo video: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1456749192?t=00h05m24s

I've been messing around with this and for the longest time I haven't figured out why my OBS is causing a render lag issue (where you're dropping frames on the render side). Turns out the culprit is the gamepad input overlay. The keyboard and mouse are fine, however as soon as I assign the gamepad input overlay to a controller, the render lag spikes up and I start dropping fps.
This is after assigning the input overlay to one of my controllers. It doesn't matter what controller or USB slot I use, as soon as I activate it it starts having render lag. The frame rate dips ever few seconds. Anyone else experiencing this? Is there a fix?
Also, on the input overlay settings this is my set up:
My controllers can't be detected when I use Xinput, so I have to use Dinput.

Yeah the pre-release has some issues. I think it has to do with retrieving data from gamepads which takes too long and therefore slows down the rendering. I don't have a fix for this currently.
Thanks for replying! I found out the issue is between DInput and XInput. If I use DInput, render lag happens once I assign a controller. Where as assigning a controller through XInput, there's no lag. So while It sucks my generic controller (PS1) isn't recognized on XInput, my arcade stick can, so I've been using that instead. I'm sure there's a way to get my controller through XInput, worst case I'll just get a new one that's more modern lol. This is a great plugin for OBS, thank you for making it!

I am a newbie with the OBS thing... I have installed this input overlay but for some reason, it is not responding to the spacebar key.. I have tested the key with the space bar counter and it works. So, the spacebar button is working and I don't know what am I doing wrong here. Can someone pls help me out here?

Hi there, this is a great little plugin that I've really enjoyed so far.
I just have a couple questions/curiosities about it.
First, what's the polling rate/refresh rate on the overlay? I'm assuming it's 60 hz, but if it's the keyboard's rate and is only clipped by the monitor's refresh rate than that would be pretty awesome.
Second, what did you do to create the borders of the keys in your overlay png? I've made a custom one with different keys as I use different bindings than most people and I had a hard time directly matching the original border which was featured (the 5 pixel shear in the x-direction also took me a minute, but hey I got there). I ended up making a second layer with a one pixel larger border of each letter and airbrushed it, and it's pretty close to the original keys, but it might nag at someone who's a little more obsessive about visual details like that.
Anyway, thanks for this really cool plugin.

There isn't really a polling rate on the plugin side, if an input happens input overlay receives the input event. The events are processed in one thread and copied every time a frame is rendered.
I used a normal rectangle in photoshop and then sheared it. You can get the psd files here https://github.com/univrsal/input-overlay/blob/master/docs/cct/layout-projects.zip

Hey there, thanks for that fast reply.
Really? So it's frame accurate then? That's awesome!
I was a little unclear I think, as I have already finished making my overlay using the presets as a guide. My question was the method you used to achieve the black border/shadow of the letters because I wanted to match it exactly for the keys I added. I matched it pretty closely, but it's not quite right. I don't think it's noticeable at the resolution the overlay would be scaled to on screen, but I'm a perfectionist and figured I'd ask. Though seeing that you used photoshop kind of renders my question pointless as I only have access to GIMP and may not be able to match it perfectly in the first place.

I never tested it so I can't really say but https://github.com/univrsal/input-overlay/issues/185 says that it's apparently sometimes 1 frame faster.
It's a shadow filter which is applied to the layers. You can also open the PSD files in https://www.photopea.com/

I can definitely confirm that I'm seeing that same behavior, though I actually expected it as soon as you explained how it works. Same keystroke, one goes directly to the overlay and shows up immediately, and one goes to the game and has to wait for the game processing before registering. Depending on where that keystroke happens relative to the refresh time the input will register one frame before or in sync with the game. I don't think it's a big deal though for my use case, but I can certainly see why a speed runner with no other on screen input information might have a hard time with it.
That's good to know. I think I'll just let go of the perfectionism though, my modified keys seem just fine when I'm not staring at them intently and super zoomed in haha.
Anyway, thanks again for this feedback!
