Dual Analog Gamepad

[FireFromTheGods]

I see all these ads for Dual Analog gamepads with benefits of being used on Half Life 2, but instead of buying on I just spliced the end of an xbox controller into a standard USB adapter. I plugged it into my computer, and ofcourse I'm not the first to do it so I get drivers that will help windows recognize it as a standard dual analog pad. I have played many games on my PC successfully with it, but cannot seem to configure half life to 2 to use it.

I enable joystick and it horribly configures the left stick as look AND move (look left/right, move forward backward) which is just completely retarded. When I enable joystick look, the left joystick will look only (all directions).

Typically, left thumbstick moves forward/backward and strafes left/right.
Right thumbstick looks.

Keyboard configuration will not allow me to input a control when I push the thumbstick forward. It just doesn't respond unless I enable the joystick and use it all whack as I said above.

I'm sure I'll get flamed for not using keyboard/mouse, whatever, haha. I just want to try it since I like it in halo 2, is there any mod or anything that will allow me to configure my controller how I actually want it?

doesn't windows have a calibration thing? or maybe some driver control panel that could reconfigure the analog stick, and you could trick HL2 into using the different direction on teh analog sticks.

See, if you buy a retail joystick, you often get better drivers that allow you to actually customize the input.

You can try editting the hl2 .ini file and see if you can get it to work the way you want.

This is a piece of cake for the xbox pad. All you have to do is make your own joystick.cfg file in the same directory as config.cfg (half-life 2\hl2\cfg), and input the following...

joy_name "XBCD XBox Gamepad"
joy_advanced 1
joy_advaxisx 3
joy_advaxisy 1
joy_advaxisz 2
joy_advaxisr 0
joy_advaxisu 0
joy_advaxisv 4

Config the buttons in here as you see fit.

Then after that is ready to go, config the xbcd driver so that the right stick up and down is z+ and z- (or vice versa to invert the look axis)

I got this from redcloud's site. He is the guy that makes the driver.

yeah i saw that but how do i make a config. my first problem is i only have a steam folder. then i go into the config. folder thats in the steam folder and the files are VDF files.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

New notepad file, put that all that stuff in above as Tony gave us, then 'save as' and save the file as joystick.cfg. The .cfg bit is very important. And stick it in the right folder as said. Computer newbies!
