API to switch controller profiles externally

[ThirteenAG]

I actually have something like this here, but better approach would be something like

                        if (CharDriving())
                            XIDI_API_SET_PROFILE(L"InCar");
                        else if (CharOnFoot())
                            XIDI_API_SET_PROFILEL("OnFoot");
                        else
                            XIDI_API_SET_PROFILE(L"Custom");

inside another plugin.

That is an interesting idea. I saw your modifications and started thinking about making an API for it, just like you suggested. I am trying to think of other possible uses for a Xidi API for patch/plugin developers, and it is something that could realistically be part of a future version.

I was able to acomplish pretty much the exact same thing you want in a different approach, by using an external program, in the fork I've made, you can feed data directly into Xidi here
I was able to test this with FlatOut2. The game does not have menu controls for gamepads, however I was able to make a little program that reads data from controllers using SDL2 and read the game's memory to send different data to Xidi depending on the current situation
