Xbox 360 Xmapper Presets Created for Day-Z

[Placebo 2]

I'll be a jackass' date=' take your 360 controls and go forth and multiply, this is a PC game for PC gamers.

No PC gamer worth a damn would even consider such an inferior and clumsy control method.

I see, so there's me with my arthritic shoulder, that when I've been sat at the PC working for the day and in excruciating pain, I can't play a PC game laid on the sofa using an Xbox controller in front of a 120" projector screen because it upsets the PC snobs so much? Tsk.

controller is great for if you are wasted or if there is too much shit on your desk to use a mouse

[‮spacecaps 101]

Console-hating aside, I'm curious to see someone playing DayZ with this setup. Can anyone make a video please?

[nacrom 82]

I just bought a 100 dollar naga mouse. It's so sweet.

[vanrosemont 26]

A player that is extremely skilled using a joystick can be just as precise and good as a player using a mouse.

Seriously. I love me some coop halo as much as the next guy; but this is total bullshit and you know it.

[thealgerian 2]

So what if he likes controller better, you're not the ones getting yourselves killed, are you?

[lxvii 1]

I signed up just to comment on this thread...

Wow.

All the guy wanted to know was if he could use an xbox controller for this mod. You sad fuckers jump on him like he just committed murder. Now unlike you dicks I understand that this is just a game and not real life, there are much more important things to get wound up about than if someone uses a controller and not a fucking mouse! Wouldn't you agree?

I was also curious as to whether I could use an xbox pad. I haven't yet played this game and I may well decide it would be better to buy a mouse if I don't get on with the controller but that is my decision to make.

Sorry to those who were genuinely trying to advise. These insults are more for the idiots who were quick to tell anyone who uses a console that they are inferior to them.

Thanks to Monte for this thread. I appreciate it bud!

I seen someone else's thread about using the xbox 360 controller for this. Upon reading that thread I noticed 90% of it was people flaming him so I am expecting that here. This is for the small percentage of people interested.

I have created an X-Mapper profile based around DayZ. I will try my best to help other's use the presets but, I do not plan on making a full tutorial on how to use it.

You will also have to change some options in the actual ARMA 2 configuration to have full compatibility.

=======

Overview

=======

Set 1 (Default/Starting set)

Left Trigger = Right Click Mouse (Set 2 While Held)

Right Trigger = Left Click Mouse

LB Button = Q

LB Button = E

Left Stick Movement = W,A,S,D

Left Stick Click = Shift Key

Right Stick Movement = Mouse Control

Right Stick Click = Alt

D Pad Up = V

D Pad Down = O

D Pad Left = K

D Pad Right = B

Back Button = Numpad 5 (This is my hotkey in FRAPS to take screenshots)

Start Button = G (When pressed goes to Set 3)

Y Button = ;

B Button = R

X Button = Scroll Wheel Down

X Button While Held = Scroll Wheel Up

A Button = X

A Button While Held = Z

Set 2 ("Dead Eye" Settings)

Everything is the same as set one, except in this set the mouse sensitivity has been tweaked so that it is slowed down for aiming.

Set 3 (Gear/Inventory Set)

This set is tweaked to help you navigate the inventory. This is by far the hardest part to use with a controller. One for the lack of development of the gear section on Bohemia's part and two remember this is a computer game.

So everything is the same as Set 1 EXCEPT:

Mouse Sensitivity = VERY HIGH

D Pad Up = Arrow Up

D Pad Down = Arrow Down

D Pad Left = Arrow Left

D Pad Right = Arrow Right

Start Button = G (When pressed takes you back to Set 1 & closes gear)

Back Button = Esc Key

** FAIL SAFE

I added a fail safe to this Set that will always take you back to Set 1. As I have been playing I realized that sometimes I just click close with the Mouse or I have used the Esc key. When this happens you are still in Set 3 which is not optimized for playing at all. When you notice your Mouse sensitivity is EXTREMELY high just click the RIGHT STICK IN and it will always take you back to Set 1.

Right Stick Button = Set 1 (Fail Safe)

Now there's all the bindings. Here are the options that must be changed in ARMA's controller settings to be fully compatible with my configurations.

Here is the values from my profile config file you can just edit yours and paste these in if you want. I guess this is for advanced users.

Copy and paste this between:

class ControllerSchemes

and

revMouse=0;

CONFIG VALUES

--------

Option ----> Controls ---->

First click the Controller button at the bottom and Disable the Xbox 360 Controller. This is so that we do not use the in-game controls for the controller.

Next change these settings. I will list the Action on the left and the new binding on the right. If I write [REMOVE] then delete whatever binding was set there.

Stand Up ==== Double Tap X (Should show 2xX when set.

Walk or Run Toggle ==== Left Shift

Walk or Run Temporary ==== [REMOVE]

Compass ==== [REMOVE]

Compass Toggle ==== K

Watch ==== [REMOVE]

Watch Toggle ==== O

Freelook = Left Alt

Center Look ==== [REMOVE]

This should be all of them, I did not document them as I changed them so if you find an issue post here about it and we will work it thru.

Also if you notice after you have changed an option there is RED TEXT you must scroll down the list and find the action it is interfering with and delete it. I'm sure I missed a few of those too.

So Overall here is the actions binded to the buttons

Left Trigger Tap = Iron Sights

Left Trigger Hold = Zoom In

Right Trigger = Fire Weapon/Select Context

Left Stick = Forward, Back, Left, Right

Left Stick Button = Toggle Walk/Run

D Pad Up = Jump

D Pad Down = Toggle Watch

D Pad Left = Toggle Compass

D Pad Right = Binoculars

Back = Screenshot Hotkey in FRAPS/Steam (Config your settings for this)

Start = Pulls Up Gear/Inventory

Right Stick = Mouse movement

Right Stick In = Free look

Y = Change between Primary/Secondary weapon

Tap X = Show Context Menu/Navigate Down in Context Menu

Hold X = Show Context Menu/Navigate Up in Context Menu

B = Reload

Tap A = Crouch

Double Tap A = Stand Up

Hold A = Lay Down

LB = Lean left/Roll left

RB = Lean right/Roll right

**When you press Start to pull up inventory it switches to Set 3, to navigate the inventory first move arrow to inventory items and click one. You can now use the DPAD Up,Down,Left,Right to navigate/move items. NOTE if you use dpad to move item left/right you will have to then move the "selector" back to the middle "item" and then you can move up down left and right again.

Example=2 Cans of beans on dead body you want to move to your pack, you would click on any inventory item in the list with the arrow, then you would use DPad to move down to the can of beans. You would then HIT the Right DPad to move the ONE can of beans to your inventory. You then have to hit the LEFT DPad to move back to the "middle" you will not see anything change but you will be in "middle". Then you can hit RIGHT Dpad again and it will move the second can of beans.

Maybe if Rocket reads this, this can be changed??? Seems like a bug.

I have just been using the Right stick as if it was the mouse. It took a while to get used to but, its decent. Good to get in and out of inventory but for managing your inventory just go back to your mouse and keyboard.

Hope this is enough information for you all. Enjoy!

I want some feedback/suggestions so we can make this work "perfectly" with Day-Z!

Dude I've been tweaking my xpadder settings for days but these seem like they would work better than mine.

Thanks for taking the time to do this and not getting put off by the flaming tards.

I've played games for years, am studying a game development degree at uni and I'm a Games Developer so I have a little practice with games in general but like one of the DayZ web developers said this game is not just an FPS etc it is so much more.

Some parts are perfect for a controller and others the mouse and keyboard by limiting yourself to one or the other you are limiting your gaming so try both and all and choose which YOU find best.

Again Thank you keep up the good work

Please Help. When I try to load this profile into xpadder 5.7 I get an error message "Range Check Error". I would love to use this profile but I cannot get it to work. Here's hoping the OP didn't abandon the thread because of all the trolls and flamers...

[MastaOfDisasta 30]

What noob would want to use a 360 controller? I hope a bandit sniper that depends on aim-assist :P

[Quaby 93]

I don't know if any1 here has played mechwarrior,but in that game, what you are used to factors into it a lot. I always played it with a joystick and when I tried to use the mouse i was like WHAT DA FUCK!?!?!?? It is less so like that in arma since, in mechwarrior, you can't wrist-flick and turn instantaneously. However, I suck with a mouse and movement with a keyboard to me is clunky, so I would probably use they joystick. You are not genetically superior to me since you use a mouse ;).

[Regulators TripSe7en 3]

@ Mastaofdisasta

You can lick my balls. I have rheumatoid arthritis that doesn't allow me to use a kbm setup. So why you think you are some king shit, you're actually just a piece of shit. There are gamers with disabilities that can't play the way normal people do, people like me and also people with Multiple Sclerosis are just a couple examples.

Grow up.

[benson_mm@yahoo.co.uk 0]

Monte, +1 from me on the great job on this profile. I signed up to thank you.got a quad core htpc under the TV so the profile is a godsend!

[ironman Tetsuo 181]

I can see how the mouse is more precise than an analogue stick for head-movement/aiming but surely no one could argue that WASD is the best input method for movement, it's certainly not as good as having a second analogue stick.

You also cannot argue that having all your input buttons as digital receptors spread across a flat device specifically designed for two-handed typing is better than having two dedicated analogue triggers and 14 buttons spaced naturally around the human grip...

It's horses for courses at the end of the day, like mouse and Keyboard? Use it. Like a gamepad, use that instead, what does it really matter?

OP gets my beans for contributing to the community even if not all of them appreciate it. Maybe he should have just started a hacker thread instead... :blush:

[Obscura (DayZ) 33]

Holy shit, wouldnt learning to use Mouse and KB be much easier? It's like keybinding in wow

[benson_mm@yahoo.co.uk 0]

@Obscura, it's not that I need to learn, as I'm au fait with a mouse and keyboard. My PC is under my TV and I can't be arsed to play hunched over a keyboard. I don't disagree that M&K is more accurate, but for Dayz with the trekking and lack of cqb twitch shooting it works for me. Let's just say I'll leave the sniping to my mates! I get that as a whole PC gamers feel strongly about consoles and their respective control sets being dumb, but let's each to their own eh? No hard feelings all. See you in Cherno!

Agreed, it'd be fucking hilarious to watch.

[terrylava 0]

Who says you can't use both? I prefer the controller for everything except aiming.

[RaysGoodLiquor 93]

This might be considered spam as well, sorry for that but:

Every time i'm reading a post and i read "noob", i skip it and go to the next one.

[Delta Smoke 01 765]

Why would you want to use a Xbox 360 controller for this? Precision is kind of necessary and controllers definitely aren't anywhere near as precise as a mouse.

Yes the game does perform better with a keyboard n mouse. But, being a vet pc gamer it also destroys my fingers on the left hand while running for literal miles . I use a controller from time to time, to give my fingers a break. To be fair i do rather well with it.
