Gamelander Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Hello Forum, I have been, for days, searching for an optimal and TRUE fix to the lack controller support on the PC version of Oblivion. I have found nothing that actually fixes the issue, and makes the game play equivalent to it's Xbox 360 counterpart. I found the sloppy "workaround" that changes a few variables in the Oblivion.ini file, and it's not at all a good fix; and emulating the keyboard and mouse on the controller is also not a sollution. I've seen all the mentioned fixes all over the web, and although they are better than nothing, they aren't what many Elder Scrolls fans and people (and there are MANY of us) looking for a solution were hoping for. SO, I've come here in hopes that perhaps some group of people in the modding community pick this up if they can; and perhaps Oblivion fans can finally pick up a controller and feel at ease. What this project (if ever picked up by modders) hopes to accomplish: Have FULLY functioning Xbox 360 controller support that plays and feels like the Xbox 360 port.For it to support more than just the Xbox 360 controller later on if possible.To be able to have the Xbox 360 Oblivion User Interface (UI) in-game for ease of use and a better overall feel. I hope (I REALLY DO) that this reaches out to the modding community, to whom we owe a great deal of thanks, and they pick this up and finally give everyone a well deserved mod that fixes this problem. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPGXOmega Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I would like the same. I have found a couple mods on this site but the controls not so great that I got working. XBox360 controls a bit more like Skyrim would be useful. http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/5152 http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/28902 The 2nd one I got some things to work but the controls are awkward. The button configuration anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The button configuration anyway... I appreciate taking the time and posting this, and as I mentioned, I've actually seen all the "workarounds" out there, including these, but I am specifically looking for full working support; but thank you anyway, I appreciate it. I've mentioned this on a different thread, and I wrote: "If anything, it can never be a bad thing, especially for people who wanna enjoy a fully beautiful and modded Oblivion, and would love to see it on a big screen in the comfort of their couch for example. My situation, in case it matters to anyone, is that I just moved into a new place and I have basically NO furniture, and no real money to spend on such things for the time; I do have a plastic desk and chair when I need to use the computer, study or do some work, but it's not ideal at all to sit here for hours trying to play. I also have forearm and wrist discomfort from sitting here, like I do now, and I'm having difficulty writing this. I do have a TV that I can connect my computer to, and a floor mattress to sit on and play, and this is where the controller comes in, because this plan is still not gonna really work without real controller support." Hopefully now it makes more sense as to why I can't really use keyboard and mouse, and me wishing for full 360 controller support and UI. Thank you.

Deleted3507349User Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I know it's not what you're asking for, but here's what I do. I have my PC hooked up to my 42" TV. I use a cordless keyboard and a cordless trackball mouse. Alternatively, you could possibly use USB extension cables to get your corded ones to where it's comfy for you to sit. Obviously what you're asking for in this thread is a much more elegant solution :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncrvet Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 has anything new come up relating to this topic?still have not been able to get it to work:/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madscientist032 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I would find it really useful if this were to happen! I play Fallout 3 all the time with my xbox controller and my PC loads oblivion faster than my xbox does....which is why I'd like to see this mod come to fruition. I have yet to try the workarounds.

tyrjal Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I would also love to see someone mod Oblivion for full xbox 360 controller compatibility! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanceor Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 This was cross posted in other forums as well. The concensus from experienced modders was this: Short of reverse engineering the game's exe file, and changing to use XInput instead of DirectInput, it is not possible. It was programmed for the keyboard and mouse. There are no equivalent translations between Xbox controls and mouse/keyboard for everything.

nisen Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Ive always played pc games with a 360 controller emulator, and for Oblivion, after a few weeks failing to map a good one, found an excellent Xpadder config. The only hitch is its only published on the closed forum site, so you wouldnt find it with google. ive contemplated posting a slightly modified version of it to Nexus, cause it really is a perfect solution even coming up with a way to scroll thru menus using the left thumb stick. Ofcouse as an emulatior its viewed by the game engine as a keyboard/mouse setup so compatible with all mods, and theres still room to program alotof other functions for mods that use specific keys if anyones wants to know more, pm. If you already have Xpadder or wanto install it, ill show you the config and what to do to modify if for the version number youve got, takes abit of explaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
