XBOX 360 Controller Support using JoyToKey

[Jethromancer]

I found a post from the GoG Forums that describes how to use JoyToKey to map the controls to an xbox controller and slightly modified it for you guys just picking the game up on the stealth sale. This game plays much better on a controller.

Step 1: Download JoyToKey

Step 2: Create a document in notepad, paste the stuff below into it and save it as BeyondGoodAndEvil.cfg in this location: C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\JoyToKey

[General]
FileVersion=37
NumberOfJoysticks=1
Use8Axes=1

Button08=1, 1B:00:00, 0

Button10=1, 43:00:00, 0

Step 3:
When you launch JoyToKey, you should see the BeyondGoodAndEvil configuration on the left hand side.

Note 1:
I had a problem with JoyToKey not seeing my CFG file. So all I did was hit the create button and I created a junk config file, name it anything. For some reason creating a second file allowed it to see the one that I saved in the folder.

Note 2: I had to set my stick threshold under Options in the settings for the config in JoyToKey to 15% rather than 0%. That seemed to be where it would still be responsive and it would stop the character from running around on her own.

Thanks a lot for this. I have to say the .cfg was ignored by JoyToKey in the location you suggested, while the FAQ suggest a different location which is also ignored. For now I just put the file in the folder where JoyToKey is and it's been recognized.

Thx very useful!

[thenevernow]

I have to say I don't like the mappings posted by Nerolus - the right thumbstick doesn't control the cameras! Here's a configuration that mimics the PS2 controls for the game (let me know if I made any mistakes):

I like your binds much more too. I havent had much time to custimize the ones I posted above, which were the original binds from the GoG post. I wasn't sure how they were bound on console since I've only ever played it on PC.

Thanks!

[thenevernow]

No problem, glad I could contribute!

[Mickey33800]

[Mickey33800]

Great !

Thank you :)

[thenevernow]

No problem! :)

[Mickey33800]

Well...

I've tried this soft and Xpadder too.
It's working on Windows, I can use my Xbox360 pad for surfing, but not when I start BGE...
I don't know why... Maybe the fullscreen...

Too bad, I will play it on my old GameCube...

[thenevernow]

It works for me. Do you have a profile for the game and is it active?

[Mickey33800]

I got a profile but I don't use it.

[thenevernow]

What do you mean? I think J2K always has an active profile.

The problem with those programs is they are still on/off mechanices. For instance if you want to walk then run you cannot. PC games usually use shift plus the w get to run forwards. On the controllers you just press all the way up. You get various speeds from slow walk to running on controller. On PC you get walk or run. Use those programs and you get walk or run, but with another button press to switch or hold.

Aiming will be fine as the mouse is an analog type device. Keyboard is on/off only.
