Who the ♥♥♥♥ plays Garry's Mod with a XBOX 360 controller?

[ToxicPenguin]

Okay, this took HOURS of playing around but I just fixed this. I'm using a PS3 controller via a program that fools the PC into thinking it is a 360 controller (find that here: [youtube.com]
/watch?v=TpSaOJJIun8).

Step 1: Open C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\cfg
Step 2: Open Notepad and paste the text below.
Step 3: Paste that into the Notepad, change the "Save as type" to All documents and name it controller.cfg
Step 4: Save to the cfg folder.
Step 5: Start Garry's Mod and press tilde (~) and enter in "exec controller". This will run the file.
If this doesn't work modify the notes and share please. Modify the sensitivity to your liking. I haven't played with it yet so I can't give any advice/warnings.

The below text is not mine and I shouldn't take full credit for it, just for modifying it to work with my controller. Creator is Rayman1103 and I found it here http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1877191

Or you could use a mouse..?

[ToxicPenguin]

You could, but I choose not to as I am well trained in controllers but not in keyboard/mouse. I respect your taste for keyboard but I'd like to enjoy my old-school controller. (Yes, I've just been converted to GabeN-ism.)

Fair enough, welcome to the PC master race. We have ultra graphics and 4k on the left, and mods on the right.

On a more on-topic note...
If you're like me and have your own favorite controls follow the steps above and instead paste the below wall of text and name it "favorites.cfg". This will allow you to switch between your favorite keyboard/mouse and controller bindings.

Steam deleted all of my extra spaces to keep it orderly so good luck I guess...

one thing for toxic penguin is a question... can i do all of that with an xbox 360 controller or does it have to be with a PS3 controller?

i do but it is sometimes annoying thats why, n tmeaning to be rude

[ToxicPenguin]

Yes. I was just pointing out that this software runs PS3 controllers like Xbox360 controllers.

I'll be making a favorite_controller.cgf file in ~10 hours for anyone interested. I forgot about that beforehand.

[ashrasmun]

If you are using Xbox 360 controller, you can also download Xinput Plus and forget about all of the above. Just change the axes in the program and voila! Everything's set without cfg files. One bad thing about it though, is that you can be penalized for using it during online play. I don't know how can it affect playing Garry's Mod, but it helped me "fixing" Skyrim, so I thought I could share :)

[DigitalAce]

Ok Thanks!

[Jett]

Look it up on the Youtubes its easy just figured it out myself
