How To Set Up Keyboard and a Xbox 360 gamepad for coop mode?

[Grimble]

I'm trying to set up the game for coop mode and I want to use keyboard and mouse for player 1 and an Xbox 360 gamepad for player 2.

By defatult I can use keyboard and mouse or xbox controller at the same time. I can play either with keyboard or controller. But when I try to play coop it doesn't matter if I use the keyboard or the controller because both players move in mirror.

Example: I press w on the keyboard, and both players move forward. And at the same time if I push the Left Stick in my Xbox controller botrh players move forward too.

How do I do to set up keyboard and mouse for player 1 and Xbox controller for player 2?

By the way, in the option menu I only see two options:
Keyboard only
Keyboard and mouse

I don't see an specific item for gamepads.

Thanks!

There should be an option for Gamepad if the gamepad is connected to your PC. Are you using a wireless controller by any chance? First, I recommend checking this guide from the official website: http://shadowgroundsgame.com/help/shadowgroundsgamepads.php

You should be able to get it working properly by following the instructions there. It might require some tinkering since Shadowgrounds Survivor was released when X-input controllers (like Xbox 360) didn't have proper support on PC, so they can take some effort to get working properly.

Thank you for your response.

I've had already checked the official page out and I tell you this

The joystick works properly in windows with another games, I always use it.
In Shadowgrounds survivor, by default, playing with keyboard and mouse the joystick works at the same time.
I don't know how to say it because english is not my mother tongue,
I mean that the joystick works by default with the default keyboard configuration.
It seems that the game recognizes, for example, moving the analog left stick up like the letter W, so the character moves forward, etc.

So, when I reach this part of the guide
"When you choose Gamepad 1, you'll get a new menu item called Joystick Axis. This is extremely important. If you just set up your gamepad using the Keyboard + Mouse 1 setting then the controller won't work properly - you need to use a Gamepad setting AND set up the Axes properly. So click on "axis_x" and then move your gamepad's right thumbstick to the left or right (x is horizontal axis). Then click on axis_y and move your gamepad's right thumbstick up or down (y is the vertical axis)"

When I do that, I select the gamepad click on axix-x and move the sticks, then nothing happens, It is like the controller was not plugged in.

If I change the keybinds.txt as it shows in the page, then the joystick becomes useless. Again, As if no controller was plugged in.

I don't know what else could I try to use the keyboard and mouse in one profile, and the Xbox 360 for another profile to play coop...

Sorry to hear it didn't work. Unfortunately we don't really have any other tricks that you could try either, editing the keybinds.txt is pretty much the "last resort" option. :( As said the game was made before Windows had official support for Xbox controllers and we haven't updated the game's gamepad support since then, so if something isn't working then I can only recommend you to play without gamepads. Sorry!

[Grimble]

I understand it. Thank you for your honest and quick answer!

Maybe I should try plugging in another keyboard and mouse...

I don't know what could happen in that case...
