What makes this library better than other Game Maker Wii libraries?
It doesn't require .Net - It's probably faster - And it's tiny compared to the other guys

R3 is untested. I need people to help test this.

INFO
GMK included with accelerometer example and led stuff
C++ source included

REQUIREMENTS
R3:
You'll need to connect your Wii Remote to your PC somehow. There are no other requirements, asides from Windows only.
R2 & R1:
If your OS is below Windows XP SP2, you'll need to install a C++ run-time library. If you need really to download that, that's sad.
You'll also need to connect your Wii Remote to your PC somehow.

DOWNLOAD
R3 Box.net - 86.1 KB - GMK Sample Project + GML code
R3 Box.net - 138 KB - C++ Source + GMK + GML
R2 Box.net - ~200 KB
R1 Box.net - ~200 KB

To compile, you'll need the DDK or something similar. Instructions on how to compile are in WiiYourself!'s source code download.

CHANGES
R3
- Added multiple Wii remote support
- Upgraded to WiiYourself! 1.15 from WiiYourself! 1.01
- Allowed for change of rumble time on SetRumbleOnConnect
R2
- Added two rumble functions that should have been there
- Prepared source to add sound support
- Decreased size from 120 KB to 27 KB



BUGS
R3
R3 is untested. I have no Wii remote to test it on, but I get no memory allocation errors, so I assume everything is going smoothly. I need people to help test this.
R1 & R2
Dunno. I use something different than all the other stuff AND I made this in a day, so I have no idea.
If you're far away, the update function will return that you're losing connection every other step. The less the battery, the more this happens.
If you connect and the lights are still blinking, you'll need to disconnect the device first by the method of this DLL or like. To do that, just run the example.
I'm guessing that people are going to have problems with this. I have problems too. I'll see if I can work them out, but this is my first DLL, so I doubt it.

CREDITS

MORE TO COME
Only if people want it. I'll definitely be updating this with sound support, but beyond that? Nah, I included the damn source. Use it.
I only update this because people ask. I'm a nice person. Who the hell do you think I am?!

I finally got the damn release compile working, so now the size has dropped from 120 KB to 27 KB, which is smaller than anything else. I also added a few extra functions which should have been there yesterday. I've been getting problems with connecting from two separate instances of SWiiX.dll, so I'm guessing if you must do that, you'll have to disconnect your controller manually. Yup, enjoy.

Sweet
Now there are Three Wii Remote dlls/extensions, two of which are open source.

Mind adding a feature list?

lol, the led randomiser is funny

I made an extension for this here.

I hope that's okay...

EDIT:
I took out the link for the extension because it was glitchy and I don't feel like updating it.

Updated to latest version of WiiYourself! and added multiple Wiimote support. Please test very much yes.

I'll add more support later. I don't feel like kicking Game Maker's ass today.

Oh, and yippee ki-yay mothertruckers. Have ye all a safe and merry Christmas.

His epicness lives on.

[Zesterer]

This actually works!

I am genuinley shocked and amazed at the same time!

Does it support buttons?

(A,B,Z,C,control stick, arrows, power button, 1,2,+ and - and home button?)

If it did, that would be amazing!

[Skarik]

@Linkis20

Thank you for the list, I can keep working on this.

@Zesterer

The older versions support buttons. The current R3 does not work.

[AndrewB]

This is really good, shame R3 doesn't work as intended. I know it's an old topic but are you still going to update this? Support for multiple controllers would be awesome!

[Skarik]

Oh, I'll update this later this week actually. I just don't have any way of testing this, since I don't have any Wii remotes available. Otherwise, things would definitely be fixed today. Or yesterday.
