I'm going to take another look at the algorithm that converts the shots-per-second you select into actual rapidfire. It looked a little fishy to me but I wanted to get a functional beta out this weekend. Thanks for all the comments and thanks for testing this stuff out for me, helps me a lot. No matter how much I try to test and break things on my own, it never fails that once you release something, customers are much better at finding the weak areas :) So that's why I created this beta testing area. I know some mod shops make fun of me for releasing betas to customers. But it seems like a fair trade - customers help beta test, and I can continue to release free software :D. In a way, your willingness to beta test help control costs. This forum (and its members) are really what make Viking360 a great product.

In all honesty i would prefer you release betas over perfecting it. This way we get to use stuff sooner :D

Looking forward to tweaking the controller settings and exchanging settings with other vikings, would it be possible to make the left tak switch for the player 3 led and right tak for the player 4 led looks easier on the eye to use. Also when using the rapid re-load sometimes it changes the weapon (i have the 3 weapon mod) . well-done Im sure this has not been easy :geek: hopefully you are near the finish line. Great controller and future proof :D

I think that's because it would need to hit Y 3 times with the 3 weapons mod instead of 2 times.

I don't get it. You can pick which buttons work on which LED's. If you want left tac switch for the player 3 LED then just assign the left tac switch to control the rapidfire. Do you mean you want the user to be able to select which slot activates which LED? That's not a bad idea, we could probably do that.

i found using the original modern warfare 2 preset was good enough, just removed some of the crappy weapons and added a quick on off for fast reload, works great so far with no errors :p

That is because OD made the hex files for the works for mw2 before the hex editor was out,

This means that he didnt use it to build the hex file and therefore its prolly in a different format the way it was built and cant be edited,

However you can virtually remake the works preset yourself the only thing you will be missing a few modes that OD said he would reinclude soon

Just be patient my friend OD is hard at work as usual :cool:

I will look into the 20.60 SPS cap issue.

You don't load any of the previous hex files. The Works driver, the All in One drivers, the Primer hex, these are not compatible with the hex editor. You have to create your own hex from scratch using the editor, then follow instructions in post 1 of this thread exactly. We'll try to find a way to make life less confusing in future releases.

you might want to check your virus scanners. when i try to open things that are suspicious to the virus scan it just doesnt open them

*EDIT* I tryed 'running as' and it said it could not find the correct runtime to run the program. Anyone know what to do?

What I would do is a full virus scan of your computer, then disable your virus scan and try to open the program. I know you stated that you scanned the folder and it popped up saying there isn't a virus, but you should scan your system like I said and disable the antivirus as a process of elimination to see how to get this working. Sometimes runtime errors are caused by viruses. What operating system do you have?? What antivirus are you using?
I have Macafee and it totally is a pain sometimes. :x
