For people with control issues

[frost]

Hey guys, im frost; some of you might know me from the youtube channel ngthps or thug2online and such, ive seen a reoccuring problem with users, the controll settings either don't work or screw up, i have a plan that fixes the control issues and i assume it would work for everything.

First you need a launcher to be able to see your stuff and you can get this here :
http://phun.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?f=105&t=4296
or the direct link here : http://muhcrew.com/THHD-Launcher-v1.zip

read the instructions carefully, at one point they write steamlibs but it's steamapps so don't worry, do copy paste, not drag and drop and make the launcher have a shortcut to desktop, this will allow for easy access.

change the graphics setting accordingly, i put everything at low cause my onboard graphics card sucks and i've had no lag problems since :D

NOW FOR THE FUN PART, THE CONTROLS.

for logitech controllers ( dual action, rumblepad 2, cordless rumblepad 2)
Download logitech gaming software ( Logitech profiler)
http://www.techspot.com/downloads/1431-logitech-gaming-software.html
- install it, yadda yadda
- I will add my own profiler file here to download if you wish to try it, edit it accordingly, it might make it easier for you guys.
>> to import that profile file : open logitech gaming software, click in the profile menu and click on import. Then, chose the .XML file that you've extracted from the zip archive you've downloaded.

>> CHANGE keyboard controls to the same ones i have here : http://i.imgur.com/RoMTY.jpg

THAT should work, if it doesnt, play around with the controls, if anyone needs a more detailed tutorial on that i will try to help.


FOR PS3 controllers
Buy xpadder (downloading is illegal and is evil and yadda yadda so i'm not going to post any bad links here, if you want it that bad, you'll find it) or use the MOTIONJOY tool to see if it works, in all essence, you have to use the tool to make sure that a keyboard stroke corresponds to a button, for example x coressponding to spacebar, it takes a bit of time for some but it is as far as i know the easiest thing.

How do i rate the game so far? it's pretty damn fun now that i got my controls working and that i'm not lagging, it's still blocky/choppy and buggy but for 8.99, i can take it.

hope this helps, i will check on this topic once a while

I should add that you still need to use the keyboard in the main menu, but at least it works now, good luck everyone!

i have a 360 wired controller and it worked fine without needing to do anything. and i can even use it to navigate thru the menu screen.

[frost]

thats because the game is MADE from a xbox360 port so it natively supports xbox360 pads.

[cad80_99]

yeah but i have seen ppl post issues with getting any controller to work. even 360.

I tried the logitech gaming software but... maybe I did it wrong.. but it wasn't working right... I could not just change the input button I hade to make "commands" and the command some time worked but sometime the old controls were fired.. also the keeping the putton pressed didn't work quite well.. sometime it would release it immidiately... and since I used to do 1 million point combo in airport... a slight misshap in the controls and that combo is screwed... so..the controls needs to be perfect.

I'll try that launcher thing I saw.. I still have hope.

Ignore the first post and save yourself some time by downloading x360ce.

It's all you need.

[frost]

x360ce = for xbox 360 controllers, fail.

for myself it looks perfectly fine, maybe controls change via different models, the concept stays the same

works fine for me.

[kahbee]

You shouldn't need x360ce for a real 360 pad.. x360ce is a 360 controller emulator.
Either way I bet it'd still work without a problem.

I prefer spending a total of 3 seconds on x360ce then any other method.

[frost]

i don't think you understand, x360ce is made specifically for 360pads.

it's not made to work with every single plug and play gamepad.

[kahbee]

You're very uninformed dear.
Please don't speak like fact when what you say is incorrect. :\

x360ce is a 360 controller emulator like I just said.

If you have a real 360 pad you don't need to use x360ce.
What the program does is make games read your input as if it were a real 360 pad due to a majority of them being designed around it.
It makes the xinput calls read as directinput ones.

It's made for many gamepads that aren't 360 controllers as often games don't have great support for non-360 pads. That's its exact purpose.

you're the one who doesn't understand...........

x360ce tricks games to think you have a 360 controller when you dont.. you dont use it when you have a real 360 controller......... everyone online will tell you the same thing
read the official site or something http://code.google.com/p/x360ce/wiki/MainPage

i use x360ce with my logitech controller and it works great with all my games...

oh now i see, it emulates ximput, i thought it was just another homebrew gamepad, i guess that makes sense but in the same way, alot of at least older games do not have ximput or gamepad support so i still think logitech profiler is better for that.
