8-way POV hat, T.A.R.G.E.T. seems to see only 4 ways

Hi fellows. I went to buy a USB cable and ended up spending 548 dollars on a joystick... Thank good I´m not married.  And the real problem that I have now is that I don't seem to be able to set my 8-way POV hat. T.A.R.G.E.T. only shows me 4... Any special considerations? What I'm doing is go to the TARGET GUI and choosing New configuration... Thanks in advance.

Yeah, our friends at TM added 8-way hats to the thing, but they never thought it would be necessary to actually build a software that worked with them... So you have your hats, but no software to use them. There are workarounds, but they are just that, workarounds. There was a post in these forums... here. I has some info and links to more info about that and many more things. At the end, you'll think "why they just dind't add the freaking support for the 8-way hats?!" The big, big problem of these workarounds is that they seem to work with Hat1 only. If you want to use the coolie, that is supposed to be 8-way too, you have to do something like this, that I put together and never finished polishing. It works, but is ugly as hell:
define kCSDR KP9
define kCSDL KP7
define kCSUL KP1
define kCSUR KP3
define kCSD KP8
define kCSU KP2
define kCSL KP4
define kCSR KP6
int fCSU;
int fCSD;
int fCSL;
int fCSR;
int main()
{
...
fCSU = 0;
fCSD = 0;
fCSR = 0;
fCSL = 0;
MapKey(&Throttle, CSU, REXEC(4, 250, "fCSU = 1; if (fCSL == 1) {ActKey(kCSU); ActKey(KEYON+kCSUL);} else if (fCSR == 1) {ActKey(kCSU); ActKey(KEYON+kCSUR);} else ActKey(KEYON+kCSU);", RNOSTOP));
MapKey(&Throttle, CSR, REXEC(5, 250, "fCSR = 1; if (fCSU == 1) {ActKey(kCSR); ActKey(KEYON+kCSUR);} else if (fCSD == 1) {ActKey(kCSR); ActKey(KEYON+kCSDR);} else ActKey(KEYON+kCSR);", RNOSTOP));
MapKey(&Throttle, CSL, REXEC(6, 250, "fCSL = 1; if (fCSU == 1) {ActKey(kCSL); ActKey(KEYON+kCSUL);} else if (fCSD == 1) {ActKey(kCSL); ActKey(KEYON+kCSDL);} else ActKey(KEYON+kCSL);", RNOSTOP));
MapKey(&Throttle, CSD, REXEC(7, 250, "fCSD = 1; if (fCSR == 1) {ActKey(kCSD); ActKey(KEYON+kCSDR);} else if (fCSL == 1) {ActKey(kCSD); ActKey(KEYON+kCSDL);} else ActKey(KEYON+kCSD);", RNOSTOP));
MapKeyR(&Throttle, CSU, EXEC("StopAutoRepeat(4); fCSU = 0; ActKey(kCSU); ActKey(kCSD); ActKey(kCSR); ActKey(kCSL); ActKey(kCSUR); ActKey(kCSUL); ActKey(kCSDL); ActKey(kCSDR);"));
MapKeyR(&Throttle, CSR, EXEC("StopAutoRepeat(5); fCSR = 0; ActKey(kCSU); ActKey(kCSD); ActKey(kCSR); ActKey(kCSL); ActKey(kCSUR); ActKey(kCSUL); ActKey(kCSDL); ActKey(kCSDR);"));
MapKeyR(&Throttle, CSL, EXEC("StopAutoRepeat(6); fCSL = 0; ActKey(kCSU); ActKey(kCSD); ActKey(kCSR); ActKey(kCSL); ActKey(kCSUR); ActKey(kCSUL); ActKey(kCSDL); ActKey(kCSDR);"));
MapKeyR(&Throttle, CSD, EXEC("StopAutoRepeat(7); fCSD = 0; ActKey(kCSU); ActKey(kCSD); ActKey(kCSR); ActKey(kCSL); ActKey(kCSUR); ActKey(kCSUL); ActKey(kCSDL); ActKey(kCSDR);"));
...
}
Yep, all that for just a f*cking hat. Hope it helps.

There is a somewhat easier way... Note my == statements might look backwards - this is an old programming habit. When you switch between languages and different conventions arise regarding the use of '=', it saves headaches. In C for example, if one accidentally wrote: "if (x=5) print('5');" then it would always evaluate true and '5' would get printed every time that line got executed...and x would equal 5 after that no matter what it was before. However, reversing it (5=x) means it would never evaluate true, 5 would never get printed, and that might help trigger the response that what you really wanted was ==...
include "target.tmh"
//program startup
int main()
{
if(Init(&EventHandle)) return 1; // declare the event handler, return on error
}
//event handler
int EventHandle(int type, alias o, int x)
{
if (&o == &Joystick & (x==POV))
{
if (POVU==Joystick[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'a');
else if (POVUR==Joystick[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'b');
else if (POVR==Joystick[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'c');
else if (POVDR==Joystick[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'d');
else if (POVD==Joystick[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'e');
else if (POVDL==Joystick[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'f');
else if (POVL==Joystick[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'g');
else if (POVUL==Joystick[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'h');
}
else if (&o == &Throttle & (x==POV))
{
if (POVU==Throttle[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'i');
else if (POVUR==Throttle[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'j');
else if (POVR==Throttle[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'k');
else if (POVDR==Throttle[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'l');
else if (POVD==Throttle[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'m');
else if (POVDL==Throttle[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'n');
else if (POVL==Throttle[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'o');
else if (POVUL==Throttle[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'p');
}
else DefaultMapping(&o, x);
//add event handling code here
}
I think I can make an autorepeat version....but I'm a bit busy right now. The above should help, however.

Hi fellows. I went to buy a USB cable and ended up spending 548 dollars on a joystick... Thank good I´m not married. Don't be so negative about marriage my wife allows me to buy all the part i need as long as i already know what to do with them and I will actually use it in the cockpit.

Here's another way to handle autorepeating - nothing wrong with REXEC, but in my eyes at least, this is easier.
include "target.tmh"
//program startup
int lastjoypov;
int main()
{
if(Init(&EventHandle)) return 1; // declare the event handler, return on error
SetShiftButton(&Joystick, S3, &Throttle, BSF, BSB, 0); // I use S3 as shift, and the dogfight/boatswitch as UMD
lastjoypov = '';
}
//event handler
int EventHandle(int type, alias o, int x)
{
if (&o == &Joystick & (x==POV))
{
if (lastjoypov) { // If there was a key pressed, release it.
ActKey(lastjoypov);
lastjoypov='';
}
if (POVU==Joystick[POV]) {ActKey(KEYON+'a'); lastjoypov='a';}
else if (POVUR==Joystick[POV]) {ActKey(KEYON+'b'); lastjoypov='b';}
else if (POVR==Joystick[POV]) {ActKey(KEYON+'c'); lastjoypov='c';}
else if (POVDR==Joystick[POV]) {ActKey(KEYON+'d'); lastjoypov='d';}
else if (POVD==Joystick[POV]) {ActKey(KEYON+'e'); lastjoypov='e';}
else if (POVDL==Joystick[POV]) {ActKey(KEYON+'f'); lastjoypov='f';}
else if (POVL==Joystick[POV]) {ActKey(KEYON+'g'); lastjoypov='g';}
else if (POVUL==Joystick[POV]) {ActKey(KEYON+'h'); lastjoypov='h';}
}
else if (&o == &Throttle & (x==POV))
{
if (POVU==Throttle[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'i');
else if (POVUR==Throttle[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'j');
else if (POVR==Throttle[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'k');
else if (POVDR==Throttle[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'l');
else if (POVD==Throttle[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'m');
else if (POVDL==Throttle[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'n');
else if (POVL==Throttle[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'o');
else if (POVUL==Throttle[POV]) ActKey(PULSE+KEYON+'p');
}
else DefaultMapping(&o, x);
}
