REMAPDB XML PROPERTIES

The remapAction.remapdb file is an intermediate file used to remap specific input event actions to one or more different input actions. It is saved to the same location as the aircraft project, and will be exported as an XML file along with the device XML when you create an input profile for use by a specific aircraft.

IMPORTANT! This is a reference page and you should not edit this file manually. Use the Input tab of the SimObject Editor to edit this files contents.

The remapAction.remapdb file has the following schematic structure using the XML format:

<?xml version= "1.0" encoding= "utf-8" ?>
<RemapActions>
    <RemapAction str="INPUT_STRING_1" player="ALL">
        <!-- Having two (or more) inputs within the same action means input1 AND input2 will be used -->
        <InputAction>
            <Input>[AN_INPUT]</Input>
            <Input>[ANOTHER_INPUT]</Input>        
        </InputAction>
    </RemapAction>
    <RemapAction str="INPUT_STRING_2" player="ALL">
        <!-- Having two (or more) inputs as seperate actions means input1 OR input2 will be used -->
        <InputAction>
            <Input>[AN_INPUT]/Input>        
        </InputAction>
        <InputAction>
            <Input>[AN_INPUT]</Input>    
        </InputAction>
    </RemapAction>
    <RemapAction str="INPUT_STRING_2" player="ALL">
        <!-- You can setup multiple AND / OR inputs for any string -->
        <InputAction>
            <Input>[AN_INPUT]</Input>
            <Input>[ANOTHER_INPUT]</Input>        
        </InputAction>
        <InputAction>
            <Input>[AN_INPUT]/Input>        
        </InputAction>
        <InputAction>
            <Input>[AN_INPUT]</Input>    
        </InputAction>
    </RemapAction>
    <!-- further remap action definitions here -->
</RemapActions>

 

From this file you can select one of the available UI Strings to "remap" such that when the UI requires an icon or a localised string for an input, it will instead remap that to one (or more) MergeIcon or name strings from the input profile. This isn't usually necessary, but it may be that the simualtion doesn't have a profile for the device you're creating the input profile for, or that you have an unconventional input setup for one of the "common" inputs. So, essentially you are associating a UI prompt with one or more model behaviour input actions for the aircraft, for example, remapping the "STR_AXIS_THROTTLE_SET" to the behaviour actions "ENGINE_THROTTLE_LEFT_SET" and "ENGINE_THROTTLE_RIGHT_SET", such that both the name strings (or an associated MergeIcon) will be shown instead of the UI string:

<?xml version= "1.0" encoding= "utf-8" ?>
<RemapActions>
    <RemapAction str="STR_AXIS_THROTTLE_SET" player="ALL">
        <InputAction>
            <Input>ENGINE_THROTTLE_LEFT_SET</Input>
            <Input>ENGINE_THROTTLE_RIGHT_SET</Input>        
        </InputAction>
    </RemapAction>
</RemapActions>

 

Alternatively, perhaps you want to link a string to different inputs, for example having the "STR_FLAPS_DOWN" remapped to point to either the "HANDLING_FLAPS_DEC" or "HANDLING_FLAPS_SET" action names:

<?xml version= "1.0" encoding= "utf-8" ?>
<RemapActions>
    <RemapAction str="STR_FLAPS_DOWN" player="ALL">
        <InputAction>
            <Input>HANDLING_FLAPS_DEC</Input>        
        </InputAction>
        <InputAction>
            <Input>HANDLING_FLAPS_SET</Input>    
        </InputAction>
    </RemapAction>
</RemapActions>

 

Essentially, if the game has to display an input action UI string, it will look at every set of possible input actions - in the order in which they were added - and then display the mapping of the first set that it detects in the user profile. If it doesn't find any action mapped to the UI string, it will display a default localised tring instead. To give a schematic example, say you have remapped a UI string to actions A, B and C like this:

STR = [A and B] or C

 

If the user only has action C mapped to their profile, then the UI will display the MergeIcon (or name string) of the input mapped to action C. However if the user has all three (A, B, and C) mapped to their profile, the UI will display the MergeIcon (or name strings) for the inputs of [A and B]. If the user only has B and C mapped, then C would be used.

 

For more information on input profiles in general, please see the following page:

 

 

<RemapActions>

This is the top-level container element for all action remaps. It has no attributes, and can contain multiple <RemapAction> sub-elements.

 

 

<RemapAction>

This is a sub-element of <RemapActions> and is used to . It can contain one or more <InputAction> sub-elements and has the following attributes:

 

Attribute Description Type Required
str This is the UI string that you wish to remap to a different input action (or actions). Available strings are listed here: UI Strings String Yes
player This should always be included in the file and can only be set to "All". String Yes

 

 

<InputAction>

This is a sub-element of <RemapAction>, has no attributes, and acts as a container for one or more <Input> sub-elements.

 

 

<Input>

This is a sub-element of <InputAction>, has no attributes, and is used to hold the action that is to be remapped. You can have multiple of these as sub-elements if required.
