Using an Arcane Enchanter with a controller?

[VileTouch]

Hi, there is definitely something wrong with this as there is no key assigned in a gamepad to craft the enchantment. (supposedly should be X or square) unplugging the controller and pressing R does work, but not otherwise.

 

I know it's not just me because i've seen it happen at a friend's.

 

so the question: is there any way to fix it?

 

and a favor: please do not tell me to just use the keyboard. YES i have a keyboard obviously. NO i don't want to play skyrim with it. it would be fine, however, if i could find a way to have the R key (in the keyboard) to work while having the gamepad still plugged.

 

other: i'm using SkyUI.

 

thanks for stopping by :)

What controller do you use?

It should be X. I have a XBOX 360 wired controller that I hate using for Skyrim, but I pluged it in long enough to find out that for me at least it is X.

well, actually any controller, it doesn't matter if it's Xbox or PS or Logitech, etc.

the button where the X is, is the one that should be assigned ...except it's not

the XInputGetKeystroke function call is exactly the same regardless of the brand.

It is and it's not. It is common for two different controllers to assign different buttons to the same spot on the controller. This is a hardware change the software side will work the same, but see a different button press.

I don't have any Xbox one stuff. Can you go into controller settings in Windows and post what button number windows reports when you press X?

I've never had any issues with a controller and Skyrim, and I use both a regular wired 360 controller and a Logitech F710. Are you sure your controller is working properly to begin with?

will take note of the keystroke output next time i'm at the gaming computer.

yes, i'm sure. the controller works as expected in every other aspect. X is the key to draw/holster a weapon, to craft and upgrade weapons and armor, make potions and unlock shouts. it's just in the case of the enchanter that the option to craft doesn't even appear on screen unless i switch to the keyboard

alright, finally figured out what was the problem. SOMEONE had installed QD Inventory in my data folder and "forgot" to tell me about it. (the same person that had that problem) and since there's no .esp it was not inmediately obvious.

 

well, it IS if you've ever played without it (odd i know) so after all this time all i can say is... stay away from that mod if you play with a gamepad. (sigh!)

 

IF you're having this problem, you have to remove these two files

 

data\interface\craftingmenu.swf AND

data\interface\inventory components\inventorylists.swf

 

and that's it!

 

thanks for all the answers
