I can't wait for the developers of TDM to implement analog stick support in their excellent mod. This is the perfect controller scheme for the games, imo. Been using Xpadder for several years but actually didn't know how to set up the multiple set switch until now. It's just sooooo much easier to creep past (or creep behind for a good BJ) an NPC with analog movment on an Xbox 360 controller than it is having to fuss with special movement speed buttons and/or keys. It's especially great for Thief Gold & Thief 2 because they support analog movement. Just wanted to say that I use this loadout (with some modification) for my own Xpadder profile for Thief 1, 2 & TDM fan missions and it works perfectly. There certainly are some missions where running jump is a necessity at some places. Set1TriggerRightSlots=Left Mouse Button (1)Īny input is appreciated, and hope it is useful for peopleĮDIT: Changed LB to Run, while Set 2 LB has Creep - figured after playing some more that Run+Jump needs to be possible and Creep is very rarely needed. Set1TriggerLeftSlots=Middle Mouse Button (3) Copy+paste to a profile file, you know how it works of you use Xpadder: RS: Mouse look / Rotate (with manipulate)Īnd here is the profile itself. For those interested, I thought I'd share it here, and ask for any input you guys have on what could be improved. I've been playing with a Xbox360 controller for a while now, and think I have a good setup for TDM, with all or most of the functions mapped. Grenade Hotkey is left out until a good solution can be found with this setup.With the Thief series the slow pace make them perfect games to play on the big screen with a controller, However TDM has a lot of keys to set up (like the original Thief) so mapping all the keys to a controller is a challenge and requires some compromises to be made. Left Stick: Move around, click to sneak You can try third party software like Xpadder to map keys to a controller.Right Stick: Look around, click to change view.B: Tap for Pip-Boy, hold for Pip-Boy Light.Select: Tap for Vision Mode, hold for Stealth.Start: Tap for Main Menu, hold for Wait Menu.The following is layout of the Xbox 360 controller for Xpadder from the game profile above. The program should fill in the button layout with the proper functions.Navigate to the "Fear and Loathing.xpadderprofile" file and click.xpadderprofile file set up like this, and those images in case the profiles don't work. xpaddercontroller file (I use a wireless 360 pad YMMV) An. Here is a zip file containing: The controller BMP file. Click the paper icon in the middle toward the top and click "Open.". This file in the OP seems to only have a 360 pad controller image in it though, not a whole Xpadder profile.Save the controller profile by selecting the hard disk icon on the top left side.Move all the buttons that displayed into their correct place on the gamepad picture, then click.For "Triggers" tick the "Enable" checkboxes to detect the triggers.For "Buttons" push every button on the gamepad: A, B, X, Y, Select, Start, Right Stick, Left Stick, Right Bumper, Left Bumper.For "DPad" tick the "Enable" checkbox to detect the dpad.For "Sticks" tick the "Enable" checkboxes to detect the analog sticks.For "Image" click and select the "360 Controller 1.bmp" and click.Click the controller icon on the top left and select 'New.'.Remember the controller profile is on the left side and the game profile is on the right side. Now the first of two profiles needs to be created, the controller profile. Once Xpadder is installed, make sure that the Xbox 360 controller is detected by the computer. A few things to be aware of: Turn off the controller in the game menu, Xpadder must be running when the game is started, button layout is changed. For the time being only Xbox 360 controllers will be supported, but other info will be added later on so that anyone can create a profile easily. Obviously there are many different gamepads to choose from and Xpadder should support just about every controller out there. Grab the free version on sourceforge, here (installer password: unfedzombie), or get the paid version on the Xpadder website. Xpadder is a paid app, but there are still freeware versions. For Fear and Loathing in New Vegas, most gamepads will need to double up some buttons to open the ability to use the FPS Weapon Wheel, PN Vision Modes, or JIP Selective Fire Modes. Even using advanced functions to bind multiple keys to a single button is quite simple with some time to play with the program. Controller emulation is a simple procedure with a little bit practice using Xpadder.
