EmmyMsAngel 0 Posted July 17, 2012 Okay..before I even start my topic,1. I searched and found topics about using a controller and what the buttons are..but I did not find one with a tutorial that tells you how to put the file into your game/use it in game.....2. I do not care what you have to say if you are going to bad mouth me for using a controller. I know that I will not have all of the controls.....all I need is to walk, run, jump, crouch, prone, shoot a weapon, get a weapon, move in all directions, zoom in...all the basic normal stuff....If you are going to post about this game is for PC and I should be using a keyboard and mouse, go ahead but your just going to make yourself look stupid because I have already told you that I DO NOT CARE!!!!!!!!!Moving on......I have found http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/7392-dayz-xpadder-10-controller-support/page__hl__+xbox%20+controller#entry220433andhttp://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/10947-xbox-360-xmapper-presets-created-for-day-z/page__hl__%2Bxbox+%2Bcontrollerand it tells you about the controllers and what buttons are what and everything else....but how am I supposed to make it so I can put the button layout onto my controls......I do Not want to go into the game and go down each control and hit each button for 58431 times....I just want it so I can put the file into the game and then can start playing the game.....I tried clicking on the preset controller thingie that the options had but nothing worked and nothing was changed....Please help meee =) P.S. I just got this game today, and I would very much like to meet people and play with them!! I have skype/msn/steam chat to use and I also play xbox 360 =)P.S.S. Like i said above..dont talk about stupid stuff and nonsense....I am here because I am questioning and want to be able to play Day Z on my controller.

Why the fuck would a PC game automatically map controls to a controller it's not designed for? Maybe for flying, but game was NEVER meant for consoles or a console controller, at least not for the infantry portion of it.P.S.

Caviano 287 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) No, it is not "full of win". He acted like an utter dick jerk and has been warned for it.Not sure if there were rules against vulgarity, but not exactly sure what I was warned for. I responded to the OP in a clear and concise and opinionated way.I was warned for something COMPLETELY subjective. And not for any rules that the moderator linked me to, or informed me of.the warning said "uncalled for"...So for the future, guess I won't be completely honest within the confines of the rules. And for my opinionated nature, I have now a blemish on my otherwise very friendly profile. Thanks------------Also, your signature says you are JUST a moderator, and that your opinions are your own. So what exactly makes your opinion more valid than mine? Provide me fact about rules of the forum that I have violated and I will concede defeat, but I am genuinely upset that you have blemished my profile.

aBipolarTree 4 Posted July 17, 2012 I've tried using controllers on Pc shooters before, and trust me man, it won't work well for you >.> but if you wanna do it anyway, try getting a program called Xpadder, once you figure out how to use it, you can easily map the controls you want.

I know I did.and if you think I deserve the warning, talk to the mods about adding a new rule to the forum:"If you reply to a thread, answer and move on, no conversation no discussion no opinions."

yankee_1776@live.com 20 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Controllers are really not suited to this game, much like how mouse and keyboards are not suited for a combat flight simulator. You'd be doing yourself a favor by learning to use the keyboard and mouse for a few days. Edited July 17, 2012 by Cheeseburger 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PercussiveScruf 2 Posted July 17, 2012 tl;dr the flame war above this, but as aBipolarTree pointed out, Xpadder is great for for mapping controllers to pc controls.The only problem I've run into with it is that some anti-cheat programs like PunkBuster registered it as a macro and I got banned from a few servers of BF:P4F because of it.

SuperCalleh 26 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) I know that I will not have all of the controls.....all I need is to walk, run, jump, crouch, prone, shoot a weapon, get a weapon, move in all directions, zoom in...all the basic normal stuffFirst of all, that isn't ALL you need to be able to do, there is no basic normal stuff with DayZ.1. There isn't jumping in this game2. You need to be able to go prone, crouch walk, crouch run, walk, run and sprint, as well as being able to roll when prone3. You need to be able to lean to look round corners4. You need to swap from weapon to flares, as well as actually change what weapon you're using (Main and secondary)5. You need to be able to shoot, reload, iron sight and zoom with weapons6. You need to be able to use binoculars, compass, watch, GPS, Map, NVGs and a flash light7. You'll need to chat8. You need to be able to freelook so you can walk straight forward while still being able to look around9. You need to be able to quickly navigate through your gear, any loot you find and your back pack10. You need to have God knows how many different binds for vehicles11. You'll hardly be able to use the context menu with a game pad12. You'll not be able to aim as well as you would on a pad as you would with a mouse, no auto-aiming/locking like you get on consolesand it tells you about the controllers and what buttons are what and everything else....but how am I supposed to make it so I can put the button layout onto my controls......I do Not want to go into the game and go down each control and hit each button for 58431 times....I just want it so I can put the file into the game and then can start playing the game.....I tried clicking on the preset controller thingie that the options had but nothing worked and nothing was changed....1. You should bind the keys yourself so you know what you're actually pressing to begin with2. There aren't 58431 buttons, and if you think there are you'll definately not be able to map them to a game padP.S.S. Like i said above..dont talk about stupid stuff and nonsense....I am here because I am questioning and want to be able to play Day Z on my controller.Just because you CAN play with a controller doesn't mean you SHOULD, it'll cheapen the experience and you'll only come back to the forums whining about how DayZ isn't as amazing as it's made out to be.http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=A_Beginners_Guide#The_ControlsRead this to see what your list of "basic normal controls" is missing.

Pander Beers 21 Posted July 18, 2012 Don't be discouraged from asking for help on the forums, EmmyMsAngel. The community here is actually fantastic. It's just a very small minority that are herp-derps. For example, look at how many totally random, different people tried to help you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
