arablizzard2413 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I thought it would be really cool to be able to use as remote control to control things like the camera in The Sims 2, and seeing how I have a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR 250 video capture card that came with a silver remote control, I thought I'd give it a try. If you didn't know, there is a config file (Irremote.ini, located in the Windows directory) that can be modified to allow use with other programs.I got pretty far, and it actually works really well, but the main reason I wanted to use the remote... doesn't work, and that's the ability to move and rotate the camera. For some reason, the Volume (+ and -) and the Channel (+ and -) will not work, while they work fine in other programs. I'm also having problems with the Red and Green buttons (but that may be because the ini doesn't accept the entries). You can find the information on how to add additional programs to Irremote.ini here.The Sims 2 Shortcuts (not complete list):Move Camera left/right left key / right key OR A / DMove Camera forward/back Up key /down key OR W / SRotate Camera left/right . / , (period / coma)Section of My Irremote.ini; First item in this section IS always the default app if no others found[Applications]Default=The Sims 2 University=...

I've tried moving the entries around, but that hasn't done anything to solve it.Irremote.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
