Non-360 Pad Support

[Neesh]

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a way to get a non XBOX 360 Pad working with this game?

[borsdy]

There is xpadder I think but I never used it

x360ce is probably the better way to go if it works. XPadder doesn't give you analog control.

x360ce makes a non-XBox controller emulate an XBox controller. XPadder makes makes a controller emulate keyboard input.

Cheers for the suggestions, will give it a go

So does Logitech Chillstream gamepad work with this game? I am planning to buy this game but it would demand that I get Co-Op mode working with keyboard+mouse & gamepad. The gamepad is XBox360 kind and is detected in many other game with XBox bindings correctly.

Gamepad is this http://hardware.teamxbox.com/xbox-36...am-Controller/

I can't help with the Logitech question, but ...

Will both players be using the same computer? If so, note this from the readme:

> In order play multiplayer on a single computer in the
> Lantern Run or Shadow Hunters game modes, you will
> need at least two Xbox 360 Controllers for Windows.

This would seem to imply that you can't play co-op with a combination of one controller and the keyboard/mouse. Maybe the game only works in one mode or the other. Maybe there's someone here that has played co-op on a single computer and can answer for sure.

FWIW, you can view the readme using the "View the manual" link on the store page for the game.

I'd think so. It should support any XInput compatible gamepad, which that qualifies as. Given that it's a Microsoft published game, they probably ensured that XInput support was implemented correctly.

There's only a few games I can think of that had their XInput support implemented incorrectly and only support MS brand XBox controllers - notably Assassin's Creed 1 and 2, which out of the box only work specifically with wired MS controllers - they don't even work properly with MS brand wireless ones :\ I had to use x360ce to an official MS wireless 360 controller emulate a wired one just to get it working with those games - so dumb.

Playing this game with a non xbox360 controller is possible through xbox360ce. However, some buttons dont work as of yet. The problem has been submitted to the projects google code page (issue 280) and is already worked on.

Ok, here is a problem - ISTP uses XInputGetKeystroke to get key scancode.
XInputGetKeystroke is unimplemented, it returns only ERROR_EMPTY (no key pressed).

Implementing this is little tricky, but I work on this.

Not the most helpful answer, but I would invest in a 360 Pad...

The amount of trouble I have had trying different Gamepads was too much So I found a cheap one for around £9, havent looked back since

The latest SVN of xbox360ce includes a fix for ITSP!
