Gamepad!

I can't play the game with my gamepad "Thrustmaster Dual Trigger 3 in 1". And I do not really want to play this game with my keyboard

Have you tried x360ce? It's a great free program. Just extract the exe to the main game folder (or possibly "bin" folder) and run it. Say "yes" to creating the two files it wants, and tell it to search online (while your controller is hooked up). It should map your buttons to match a 360 controller.

At that point save your settings and close the program. Start up Trials and you should hear a Bing noise, and it should work.

I use it for most of my newer controller-enabled games, since I use an old PS2 wireless controller with USB adaptor. :)

Edit: If x360ce doesn't work, there's always Joy2Key / JoyToKey. That makes keyboard and mouse movements to a controller. Not as nice, but can work in a pinch.

[Tobey]

Thanks for the help man! :)
But I keep waiting for the release, maybe something "patch-like" would appear then. If not, I'll buy a new Controller :D

[StNick]

Well, if you'd like. Except there's so many controller types out there, there's simply no way for them to provide support for all. Just not feasible. An official PC xbox 360 controller is basically the only gamepad guaranteed support.

Hence why I love x360ce; it makes the program think you have one.

[Tobey]

Now I've downloaded x360ce vibmod. I did everything I had to and the controller still does not work, even x360ce vibmod says "Connected" to my Gamepad. But ingame I can't use it.

I use a PS3 controller on Trials. MotionJoy works wonders to emulate a PS1/2/3 controller as an Xbox 360 controller perfectly with no input lag.

[StNick]

x360ce vibmod? I'm not sure what that is, it looks like it's an offshoot version.

Here's the program I was talking about. https://code.google.com/p/x360ce/downloads/list

This next part is the same as my post above but more detailed {

Download x360ce.App-2.1.2.190.zip (EDIT: See my new note at the bottom), then extract it. Then move x360ce.exe to the Trials game folder, the same folder with the Trials exe file (this is important, or it won't work), which is Steam \ steamapps \ common \ TrialsPC \ datapack.

Make sure your controller is connected then run x360ce.exe at its new location and it will want to create x360ce.ini. Hit yes, and then it will want to create "xinput 1_3.dll" so hit yes again. It should say New Device Detected and a green arrow points toward "Search automatically for settings." Hit next and once it's done hit finished. A graphic of an xbox360 controller should appear; move your sticks and buttons to make sure they're mapped properly (they'll flast green on the graphic).
}

Then just save and exit. If something didn't map properly, like there's a setting on your controller you need to hit to use analog sticks, just delete x360ce.ini and "xinput 1_3.dll" and start again.

The only time I've had problems with the program not working was when I placed x360ce.exe in the wrong folder, so pay close attention to that, and maybe try moving it (and the files it creates) around.

Hope this helps.

EDIT:

Okay, 2.1.2.190 is the latest version but I'm having a weird issue with it. My dpad isn't working properly on it. The latest version I use which I know works perfectly fine for my stuff is x360ce.App-2.0.2.163. Found here: https://code.google.com/p/x360ce/downloads/detail?name=x360ce.App-2.0.2.163.zip&can=1&q=x360ce.App-2.0.2.163

[StNick]

Oh shoot, I completely forgot the step I used to make it work. After you have the x360ce files in the datapack folder, rename "xinput1_3.dll" to "xinput9_1_0".

THEN it should work. Sorry about that.

[Tobey]

I did everything like you explained it, and thanks so far, but after I've copied the exe and runned it, it does not open another tab with said "Search automatically for settings"

I tried the programs above above too, but they didn't work for me, or I was just too stupid.
Then I downloaded JoytoKey, worked perfectly.

But I really don't understand why there is no support for a Logitech controller, it's, beside the xbox, the standard controller for pc.
But the Beta right now is a really bad pc-port

@Bro-MadMax
That's really weird. The only time I've not had that window/tab appear is when my controller isn't hooked up. When your controller is hooked up, and you go to "View Devices and Printers" (you can just type that into "Run" in any version of windows), does your controller show up? If not, try connecting it to a different USB slot. Sometimes controllers don't like USB Hubs, and only like being plugged into the back of a computer directly into the motherboard.

I don't mean to make this complicated, just trying to save people money. : /

@Dani
At what point did you have an error when following the instructions above?

JoyToKey / Joy2Key does work (along with xPadder), but since it's just mapping keyboard presses to the gamepad, you do lose some precision.

[BLINDINGSUN]

Buy a 360 pc controller. they're not expensive and work perfectly

[BOT Birne]

i have a raptor gaming lg2 and i got it to work with x360ce but i have horrible framerates and the game shuts down after a few runs. with keyboard it works fine.

[Tobey]

@Dr_Gero
Yep, my Controller is connected, and windows shows that it is connected. I even tested every single button, every worked perfectly. I really appreciate your, and everybody else's help! :) But I think im going to wait for the release of the game, and maybe I'll buy another gamepad. I'll see what I'm going to do. But thanks for you help buddy's! :)

it just didn't detect my controller, followed all the instructions.
motionjoy the same.

What i really don't understand is, that there is no support for logitech stuff. Every Pc game that I own and that can be played with a gamepad supports them

@Dani
And you tried my suggestions to Bro-Madmax?

I've never had that issue with any of my 3 different controllers before. Sorry you're having problems with it. :/
