you can make a bat file in the same dir as both exes with the following:

start rinput.exe joequake-gl.exe
start joequake-gl.exe
TIMEOUT /t 10 /nobreak

if you need launch options for joequake (idk if they're commonly used, not familiar with it) just put them after "joequake-gl.exe" in standard format (i.e. spaces between, include any -s before them)

start rinput.exe joequake-gl.exe
start joequake-gl.exe
TIMEOUT /t 10 /nobreak

Hey, thanks a bunch for responding. I have no idea what a bat file or a dir file is, would it be too much to ask for you to walk me though it?

The other thing is that when the rinput file is launched, the command joequake-gl.exe needs to be entered, does this account for that?

start rinput.exe joequake-gl.exe
start joequake-gl.exe
TIMEOUT /t 10 /nobreak

yep, if you look next to rinput.exe it's given the joequake-gl.exe as an argument, which rinput will automatically inject into.

basically all you need to do is move RInput.exe to the same folder as the joequake exe, and create a new text file with the above stuff put into it. then you save as, and save it as "Joequake RInput.bat" (or somethingelse.bat) in the same folder again. make sure you select save as 'all types" so it allows you to change the extension from .txt to .bat. you can also make a shortcut to this .bat file on your desktop if you like

Why use an outside program for it when you can just disable it? I have m_smooth 1 and m_filter 0 in autoexec and -noforcemaccel -noforcemparms -m_smooth in launch options and it works fine. I'm p sure the noforce ones do nothing but I keep them there anyway.

start rinput.exe joequake-gl.exe
start joequake-gl.exe
TIMEOUT /t 10 /nobreak

Alright so it opens the console and then opens quake, but it does not actually inject, I still experience the negative acceleration.

Are you sure you are talking about joequake? I tried all of those and it did not work, m_smooth is not even a command.

oh, my bad, forgot it came with a dll. RInput.dll should be in the same folder as the exe

alright, moving it there worked, and then I would create a shortcut for the .bat file and put launch options there? I tried doing that and it did not do anything.

Thanks a ton so far, never would of got this.

nope, you put launch options for joequake at the end of the 2nd line of the bat file

Yep, all works flawlessly now, that was my second guess. Thanks a ton, it's so cool that you can do this with computers, I didn't realize it was actually possible.
