Beta Testers Needed for Xbox Wireless Controller Setup

[BlackSpectre]

Go to User:BlackSpectre/Testthis3 - Unofficial Homecoming Wiki for instructions to setup an Xbox Wireless Controller.

 

Intention: Make setting up and using a gamepad quick and easy (or at least easier than it is now) for new players. 

 

 Keybinds: This is a "universal" keybind set. Meaning, it is plug and play. It works for every character without modification or customization, and gives the player access to as much of the game as possible through a gamepad.

 

Playability: Considered finger strain, finger reach, economy of motion, and other ergonomic factors.

 

Gameplay: Attempted to organize button functions in groups to help with memory. Designed for flow and ease of combat. Tried to include most of the major game functions on the gamepad to reduce the need to use the mouse and keyboard. 

 

Limitations: Small number of buttons. The bug in /Controller_Modifiers removed at least 15 possible button combinations from gamepads. As such, the decision was made to "double up" as many non-conflicting commands on one button as possible. No non-movement binds were placed on the analog sticks in order to maintain fluid movement in combat and elsewhere. 

 

Please consider all of the above when testing out the setup. I'm competent, but I'm not perfect and all knowing. Please make suggestions and comment in this thread. Also, please keep in mind that anything new is difficult, so giving it a little time to get comfortable with the new controls  before you make a judgement is a good idea.  That said, I'm looking forward to hearing about what you think!

 

Lastly, thank you.

 

 

 

P.S. If any Devs are reading this,  please help too. The final version of this bindfile might be suitable to replace the obsolete Joystick keybind profile (or to create a new Gamepad keybind profile).
