[Bug 45669] New: Controllers don't work in Lego Starwars The Complete Saga

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45669

            Bug ID: 45669
           Summary: Controllers don't work in Lego Starwars The Complete
                    Saga
           Product: Wine
           Version: 3.13
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-dinput
          Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org
          Reporter: wberrier(a)gmail.com
      Distribution: ---

This also happens with several other lego games:

* Lego Batman
* Lego Indiana Jones
* (most of the older lego games that don't have xinput support)

The issue seems to be best described here:

https://github.com/00cpxxx/wine-xinput/issues/3#issuecomment-267162846

Quoting from the above link:

"Thanks again, I think I see what is happening. The game is not using xinput
for all controllers, it is actually using dinput and Wine differs from Windows
in how the L/R triggers are outputted. In Windows both triggers show as Axis 3
(Z) where 0 is not pressed, negative means left is pressed and positive means
right is pressed. Pressing both results in non distinguishable action, this was
a design decision back when they added the Xbox controller to dinput to make
games think the Axis is "centered". On Wine the triggers are represented as lZ
and rZ (left/right Z), where the not pressed state for each is -32767. The game
is expecting zero so when it sees the negative value it thinks the value is
pressed. This requires fixing dinput in Wine to merge both axes in a single
axis."

If I enable js/event in the wine control panel, the game will respond to
controller events.  But, once I try to assign buttons to the various actions,
before I can press a button "Z Axis" is registered as the pressed button.

NOTE: newer lego games that use xinput work great with Wine's new xinput
support.
