Need help with mouse and keyboard controls
Basically, they don't work.
I tried Documents>My games >Fallout NV and then FalloutPrefs and change the keyboard to 0 and mouse to 0.
I can't even open the console to write EnablePlayerControls. Since I read that that may help..
In main menu I can go down and up (with arrows) but when I press enter for settings I cant go back.

My brother is using the controler when playing but where can I change that? :(

Am I doing something wrong with FalloutPrefs? Is there something else I should change?

Thanks to anyone who will respond!

This engine was originally intended for PC only, so when they ported it to consoles, they half-assed it and added peasant stick support by an input method switch. This means that the game can only receive input from one source, and the default is the controller.

Other words: as long as you have a controller plugged in, you cannot use the keyboard+mouse on many systems.
(On some, you can use kb+m for basic control, but functions not assigned to controller buttons, chiefly the console button, won't register. Some mods that add extra gameplay functions managed to circumvent this problem but apparently never answered the console button issue.)

Yeah it's working now, geez. Had to play around with the controler. Thanks for the help! ^^

Setting bDisable360Controller=1 should allow you to keep the controller plugged in as well as disabling it in the options.
Oh sweet. Thanks for the response! :]
