one final addon
I thought it could be a useful feature to have
for joystick users if I included the
JoyToKey setup as an option
which boils down to this
first 4 items in the form, I have designed them selected by default, you just let them go take care of themselves, unless there's some special reason against it and you feel like unchecking them
optionally checking #5 and child task #6 will entail the installing of
JoyToKey, a freeware app to "enable PC game controllers to emulate a mouse and the keyboard input, so that windows applications and web games can be controlled with your favorite joysticks"
plus a desktop shortcut I made for it (yes I got the hidden icon right
)
now if you're the keyboard kind (like yours truly) do me/yourself a favor, skip it all for Chrissake!
otherwise you can try it if you wish
please consider that even after the installer has provided and arranged all the files needed for JoyToKey setup, nothing is really going on there until you use that shortcut, run the joystick emulator and proceed to configure it
it can also be uninstalled together with the whole installer program as usual, namely via Start/Programs/Tomb Raider/Uninstall
or via control panel applet
(Windows 8.1: apparently only Control Panel/Programs & Features/Tomb Raider/Uninstall)

some quick tips to make the 3 parts whole again
Now, it's high time for some history:
