Gamepad Setup

[AnnihilateYZ]

Alright I know its a lot easier to use the mouse and keyboard but I'm just experimenting. With my gamepad I can map all the controls but I can't make it to where I can look around and aim, taking the place of the mouse. Anyone know how?

NVM I figured it out. Admin please delete this thread.

I know this thread is old, but I can help you.

Personally, I use a Logitech Dual Action controller (much like a XBox controller) in my left hand and my mouse in the right. Since I can use half of the controller, I map most of my controls right to it. For instance, the controller has:

1) 2 upper triggers
2) 1 control stick (which acts as a button also)
3) 1 directional pad
4) 2 mid-range buttons
5) and 4 numerical buttons (if your thumb can reach them)

Then with that, I have a mouse that has 6 buttons on it. With all of these buttons within reach, I can control my player just as good - if not better - than all those guys reaching all over their keyboards.

Frankly, you can never replace the targeting flexibility that the mouse gives you, never think you can. But using half of a gamepad gives you the same flexibility in one hand - the key is prioritizing your buttons (because they are limited). I have it worked out perfectly, I could help you map if you need help.

Re: Gamepad Setup

you should be able to setup some advanced keys using JoyToKey. find the joystick thread on it around here somewhere.
