Unless I'm mistaken, gamepad.txt is not read by the engine on the PC version and is used exclusively by the console versions. Right now I'm trying to trick the game into thinking a keyboard/mouse is a controller by editing my gamepad.txt and controlmap.txt.
I think the automatic disabling of one type of input, if the other type is enabled, is hard coded and unfortunately could only ever be changed by the developer (which I predict they will never do).
I do have Pinnacle Game Profiler which is a fantastic program, but unfortunately it can only emulate anologue xinput on the thumbstick if you have enabled controller input in-game, which brings us back to square one. I like to play using the mouse in my right hand for turning/aiming and attacking, etc - and the controller in my right hand for basically everything else. The Pinnacle Game Profiler is a handy application for all the users that consider the controller a more convenient choice when playing a game.I have been trying to accomplish joint 360 Controller and Mouse/keyboard input in the controlmap.txt file since release day of this game and from what I can see, it is just not possible.Īs soon as you enable Xbox 360 support in the Options Menu (which you have to in order to enable anologue movement on the left thumbstick), all mouse input and the majority of keyboard input (exceptions include the Quick Save/Quickload keys and the console key) is automatically disabled by the game engine and I remember that the two Fallout games had the same problem. You have the option of increasing the CPU priority while playing a game. The program uses insignificant resources and you should have no problems running it in the background. It also checks for updates for the game profiles and the controllers.
The update service included in the application does more than bring your program up to date. You can also reverse the joystick's direction axis or create custom commands for a game. You can use this application in order to change the gamepad behavior by adjusting the sensitivity and by assigning commands to a certain button. Pinnacle Game Profiler automatically detects the installed games and you just need to select the game from the list. The users that want to play Steam games and are having trouble finding the executable file can relax. Neatly detects and applies to your game library The latter enables the application to automatically fill the information and to preserve the command line parameters when launching a game. The program allows you to select the game by browsing to the executable file or by dragging the desktop shortcut to the "Shortcut Dropzone". In order to create a profile you need to specify the game and the controller.
Fortunately, there are a lot of profiles available for download from the developer's website. The program provides a lot of options but you need to spend some time in order to set up all the commands for a game.
The game profiles saved by the application allow you to create a command or an event for every button from your gamepad. Thus, you can customize your settings to match your playing style and gamepad habits. The program is quite flexible as it allows you to create your own profiles for a certain game and controller. Since not all games are designed to recognize a game controller, this tool helps the computer translate the gamepad actions into keyboard commands. Pinnacle Game Profiler is a useful application that intends to help you play games on your computer by using game controllers.
