Post Multiple mice as controllers
This is a way to use 2 mice to control 2 different characters. Briefly, it involves remapping the 2 mice to 2 virtual gamepads. You will need GlovePIE and PPJoy, both of which are linked to in the attached instructions. The needed script is also attached. Please post any improvements you can think of.

On another note, this is my first post, hi everyone!

Sounds cool, but I can't test since I only have one mouse. Can you get this to work for 2 keyboards instead on mice?

You can, although you would need to do a bit of work to replace the mice. Something like
Code:
ppjoy1.analog0=key.up

You can easily distinguish between keyboards by adding a 1 or 2.

Very interesting.

I just by chance have 3 mouses and 2 keyboards laying around >_____>'

I'll get around testing this someday.

Setup a vertical dual screen setting, and set it on windowed. Move the window so it's halfway.

I have multiple mice to test with and am familiar with both GlovePIE and PPJoy, but there's a critical issue:

PPJoy does not work on Vista/Win7 64-bit.

Unless something changed and I don't know about it, that makes it useless to me for the time being. It's a shame, since GlovePIE and PPJoy are a very powerful combination.

Thank you, it works and its great.
I recommend to set the mouse properties to max sensitivity for best results.

Hello all,
I dont know if anybody is still paying attention to this thread but still...

I'm trying to get PPJoy + GlovePIE working, but it doesnt. For some reason glovePIE is not getting any data from PPJoy. Can anybdoy help me ? maby post a more detailed guide. The stuff coming with PPJoy PPjoy key and PPjoy mouse do seem to work altough they are useless for what i'm trying to achieve.

Greets,
rj twins
