How to fix controller bindings

[animal_PLANET]

I was able to figure this out and if any one else is also having trouble with in game controller settings this will help you.

It seems Konami's nomenclature for the bindings config file and the in game settings are completely off or their english translation is very poor.

Since the game also resets your settings upon exit you do not want to set anything in game. All you need to do is edit the binds config file and they will stay.

Go to "steam\steamapps\common\Silent Hill Homecoming\Engine\" and open the file "binds_pc_mjs.cfg" with note pad.

For example: Scroll down until you get to setbind commands for controller. You will see a line like this: "setbind 1 COMMAND_PUNCH CONTROLLER 0 BUTTON_2 -1.0 1.0 1.0"

Notice that it says punch. There are no in game settings for punch because punch = strong attack. To fix this all you will need to do is change BUTTON_2 to whatever number you would like.

Here is what the cfg file options translate to in game:

CFG File = In Game setting

Kick = Fast Attack
Roll = Use
Use = Map
Block = Inventory
Jump = Dodge
Punch = Strong Attack
Climp Up = Reload
Reload = Weapons
Stalk = Target
Inventory = Walk (This option is disabled by default and you can see there is no binding for it but is still available in game setting. This is found at the very bottom of the file.

If you want to have a walk button just change:
"setbind 1 COMMAND_INVENTORY DEVICE_INVALID 0 0"
to
"setbind 1 COMMAND_INVENTORY CONTROLLER 0 BUTTON_9 -1.0 1.0 1.0"

Just make sure you change the controller button number as I have mine set to 9. Leave out quotes. Now save and your all set.

You can find what button the number is in the config file for both xbox and ps controllers.

If you would like to invert your camera. Open the "vars_pc.cfg" file with notepad and go to "cameraInvertThirdVert=false" and change to "true". Now save and your all set.

This helped me out and the settings for your controller will now stay the same. If you are having trouble with the map any resolution above 1280x720 i believe causes it to be cut off. You need to lower game resolution to 720p unfortunately to view map normally.

Just make sure you copy your cfg files before changing anything so you have a back up.

Also to note. When changing any of these files and starting the game for the first time for some reason it may hang or the screen will go black, and can possibly cause an error while loading saved game. If this happens you may need to end task to close the game. Just restart and it will be fine.

This is a very outdated thread. Just use unkownprject's mod. It works better and easier than my suggestions above.

True, the old one, but the topic helped, and your answer helped even more, I installed the patch, now the map is not cut off, but the saves have disappeared.
Thank you :)
