this sort of thing was never readily implimented in the oroginal quake,
however, the gravis control pad might do this. i remember it had a set file
for the original quake so you could control it, maybe the same is true of
the force feedback, though as far as i know it would be quite hard to
actually get working if it didn't contain this file.
the other problem with using a control pad is assigning all the buttons,
with old games like quake, as far as i know you have to assign them through
the controler interface for the pad, and that's usually very very visual.
also, there is the problem of limited buttons, with our current mods for
example, theres simply no way we could include all of the force and
lightsaber functions etc on to the pad.
dunno if this hhelps, but i do agree though it would defenitly be something
to look in too, just quite hard to get it working i think.
cheers

Subject: [AGRIP-discuss] Something I've been thinking about...
Hi Guys,
I've been thinking about something lately. I've been reading articles
pertaining to the new consoles that are coming out by Sony and Nintendo
and there's been a lot of talk about their new controllers that utilize
force feedback, rumble, and that sort of thing. The Nintendo controller
even features built-in sound. I thought that was pretty cool. The
controller actually has it's own built-in speaker. Reading this got me to
thinking if it'd be possible to take advantage of a PC force feedback
controller for Quake? I think this would be ideal for helping to more
readily identify objects such as doors, weapons, and other things. The
combination of sound and touch would greatly enhance a blind person's
ability to navigate through a 3d environment and get a better mental
picture as well. Do you think it would be possible to get such a
controller to work with this version of Quake?
Michael
