Making the D-Pad Keys Bindable in a Gamepad.

[Deleted4240918User]

(Info: I'm using a generic gamepad, not an xbox one, I'm also not bright at understanding the file I want to modify)

 

So I installed Dual Wield Parrying to roleplay as a dual wielding thief/rogue character. I was hoping to be able to bind the parrying block (feature of the DWP mod) to one of the gamepad keys and in return bind that key to one of the DPad keys (IE: Bind parry to and then make [D-Pad Up] open the character menu).

 

To my ugly surprise I wasn't able to do it, since the D-Pad keys are reserved in the game. So I searched a whole day trying to find a way to enable binding the D-Pad keys, and while I was successful I wasn't able to set up the gamepad just the way I wanted.

 

I installed a modified controlmap file that allowed the D-Pad keys to be bindable, but it also modifies a ton of other features which I find intrusive for a gamepad (for my taste).

 

So, I just was hoping for the help of a savvy in this situation. Editing the controlmap file to disable the advanced feature it has (IE: RB+LB=Quicksave and such) and just leave the bindable D-Pad keys.

 

The file is Use your Pad-Prepare to Mod Edition . The mod author hasn't been online since Nov-Last year; I messaged him anyways because I'm that of an annoying *censored*.

 

The code of the controlmap file is here:

 

 

// 1st field: User event name. DO NOT ALTER! This field is used to ID events in the code
// 2nd: Keyboard key ID that will proc this event. A value of 0xff means the event is unmapped for this device.
// 3rd: Mouse button ID that will proc this event.
// 4th: Gamepad button ID that will proc this event.
// 5th: If set to 1, this event can be remapped to a keyboard key
// 6th: If set to 1, this event can be remapped to a mouse button
// 7th: If set to 1, this event can be remapped to a gamepad button
// 8th (Optional): User event binary flag. Used to group together related user events, like "Movement" or
// "Menu", so they can be toggled on and off together

I have the same mod, I use a PS3 style (read: off brand) controller and can map the d pad without any extra mods. It'll throw up a warning: this key is already mapped to action blahblah, or something like that. But it'll still let you do it. I sacrificed favorites (d pad up) since I usually end up opening the main menu anyway. I mean the upper left d pad, by the way, you can't map the joystick directions (you can map clicking them straight down though).
