I had an issue getting my CH-Products Combat Stick to work with HL-2-2. With gamepad enabled, the character would turn and not strafe.
Wow!! what a difference in gameplay once solved.
Looks like I figured it out.
I had to disable gamepad and make the following Joystick.cfg. I also had to make sure my 8-way POV Hat (not 4 way) was set to POV-DX mode in the software that came with the controller (CombatStick). I then reassigned weapons to the hat via HL-2 keybord setup.
I am finding that I can move in finer forward and sideways movements with the analog control then I can with the keyboard and its great for peaking around corners or moving along ledges. I can also now set the axis response and sensitivity with the CH-Prod software that came with the stick.
The vehicle control is now awsome. I can move the wheels in fine increments with out them shimmying from keyboard tapping. My speed is now variable and I can slow down a bit and drive around and enjoy without bumping everything. All while sitting back and having a beer. Looking forward to more of this game now.
Note: I do have carpal tunnel and upper back pain from all the typing I do in my profession, so this fix was badly needed. I still use keyboard commands but are programmed to the controller as I us the 4-way hat for straffing with A-D and the Expert Trackball M1 & M2 for forward-back. The trackball for looking around. Its nice to have redundant controlls when desired.
