Controller-device-list container

The controller-device-list container is a config.txt file entry used by the controllers tag in tni-controls-plugin assets. It provides the specification for one or more hardware controller devices, e.g. a RailDriver controller, a joystick, a gamepad, etc.

Supported Tags

The controller-device-list container is a list of controller-device subcontainers with no standalone tags. Each controller-device subcontainer supports the following tags.

desc-token

Type: string

Desc: The id of a string-table entry for the localised description of the controller. This string table entry will be used in the Trainz UI to give detail to the player about the control. It should be fairly short (i.e. one short sentence). Optional.
