AwfulArchdemon Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 What about the right analog stick ?? Are you still using the mouse cursor with that ?.No. Look at the 1st pic, in the post that says solved. The mouse is relocated to the right analogue. btw, you have to turn the joystick off in the oblivion.ini (I think) look for bUseJoystick=1 in the controls section, and change =1 to =0.

thomriis Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 what i meant was, Are you using the right analog stick as a mouse?? Cause ive already made another post with Xpadder that works just like this,and yes its actually very easy to get 100% control with the xbox 360 controller as long you deactivate the in-build joystick support so that no buttons interfers.

AwfulArchdemon Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Yes. I use my controller for many things now, not just playing a game. My right analogue is my mouse, but my mouse works too. This is just plain awesome, because, if I feel like using my mouse for a while mid-game, I can just go ahead and use it. No changes needed. Oh, and about X-Padder, is it good too? It looked pretty awesome, but JoyToKey worked, so I didn't get it.

thomriis Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 X-padder is very straight forward and easy to use,You get a visual display of your controller and you can arrange the sticks,buttons,D-pad and triggers to your liking and when you press or move the sticks it will tell you which is which on the display, Even the advanced options is pretty easy to understand well only drawback is that you need the official xbox 360 controller for pc (Wired) for the triggers to work. Wish there were more controller support for windows games, Its okay for me using keyboard and mouse when competing,But games like the elder scrolls i rather sit back and enjoying the experience.

AwfulArchdemon Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 This is why I spent all day and night to figure out how to properly use my friggin controller! Sooo much better with my X-Box/Logitech controllers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bioticsandheadshots Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) I downloaded and configured this yesterday and it worked fine. It was great that I could play with a controller, like I am used to and didn't need a mouse and keyboard. The buttons all worked fine. Today though, I loaded my game up and certain controller buttons were no longer working as they had yesterday. I could not use my left/right trigger buttons to cycle between tabs in the journal, though I did that yesterday. The left joystick didn't do anything other than move my character (so nothing inside the menus). RB did both casting magic and switching between 3rd/1st person view at the same time. And pressing in the right joystick fired an arrow instead of switching POV. And the 'A' button both enables/disables sneak AND activates an item so if I am sneaking and try to pick something up, I am suddenly standing. All of these worked correctly with the profile yesterday and I have no clue what has happened to make them stop functioning today since I have not edited the profile in any way.

HareDeLune Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Hello and thank you for posting this information. I too have been pulling my hair out trying to make my PS3 controller work with Oblivion on PC.I tried MotionInJoy with Better DS3, which gave me the BSOD. I uninstalled that driver and let Windows reinstall the default driver. I then found a JoyToKey config. on the Elder Scrolls Wiki which I decided to try. Windows recognizes my controller when plugged in, as does the game, which displays the controller menu in the game settings menu. However, neither Windows nor the game recognizes any input from the controller whatsoever. I decided to try exPadder next, but while trying to configure it I ran into the same problem that it will not recognize any button presses on the controller. As this thread has recent posts, I decided to post here to ask for advice. After my experience with the MotionInJoy driver, I am a little afraid to try other third party drivers, although that looks like it may be the only way for me at this point, as I don't have the money to buy a dedicated PC controller at the moment. If anyone is interested, here is the JoyToKey config. I found on The Elder Scrolls Wiki: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:ControlsThe config. info. is near the bottom of the page that the link points to. Thanks! Update: Since posting the above, I have found Microsoft's Official xBox 360 drivers, which I tried installing. Naturally, they do not recognize my PS3 controller at all. I am now all set to use one of those lop-sided monstrosities, though. :tongue: No offence meant to those who like them. I have also found this program http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-XInput-Wrapper-for-DS3-and-Play-com-USB-Dual-DS2-Controller.I think it may be written for an emulator program, but if it can be used as a standalone driver without the emulator; it may be a good solution. Does anyone else know anything about this? Edited January 3, 2014 by HareDeLune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noro2626 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I've done exactly as you've posted on your pictures with the Joytokey but my running seems very wonky still. I'll randomly switch from walking to running and even though I can manually switch with capslock it happens a lot in combat and gets me kllled because I start walking really slow. Is this a problem you've encountered as well awfularchdemon? If so what do you think I'm doing wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HareDeLune Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I downloaded and configured this yesterday and it worked fine. It was great that I could play with a controller, like I am used to and didn't need a mouse and keyboard. The buttons all worked fine. Today though, I loaded my game up and certain controller buttons were no longer working as they had yesterday.

All of these worked correctly with the profile yesterday and I have no clue what has happened to make them stop functioning today since I have not edited the profile in any way. This happened to me just today (I got a generic PC controller for Christmas). Look on your controller and see if there is a button marked 'analog'. If there is; press it and make sure the analog function is working, then try the controller again. This fix worked for me. BTW.: I am now using the JoyToKey configuration from the UESP Wiki that I posted above: Oblivion:Controls - UESPWikiIt works very well with my generic controller, although it was made for the xBox 360 controller. The analog walk-to-run function is also intact on my controller. There were a few button mapping choices that I didn't like, but it was easy to re-map them in JoyToKey. No problem finding which button is which, either, as JoyToKey will highlight each button press! As an aside: I also tried xPadder 5.3 as an alternative. After much time getting it to work with Windows 7, then learning how to use it and finding a picture of a controller for it, then setting up all the buttons, & etc. it works great except for when I'm running the game, then I get no response. So, I deleted xPadder and am enjoying JoyToKey. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HareDeLune Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Eh Xpadder works fine, but the aiming is just not as fluent as the console version. And that was my biggest gripe with it. Still very payable, but aiming arrows/magic feels clunky. I have also been having this problem with my generic controller, but recently I was reading the Oblivion Readme, and it has some .ini tweaks listed for people who are using an xBox 360 controller. The readme says that the .ini tweaks should also work for other controllers; but that some further tweaking may be necessary. After trying this myself, I have noticed some small improvement with finer control over aiming, but now walking & running seems to be more sensitive as well. It was pretty sensitive already, so now I need to use a 'very' light touch to keep from running while sneaking, for example. This may be an old thread now, but I am posting here because I don't have time to sift through all the forums for all the relevant threads on this topic in hopes of finding the 'magic settings' that will let me play comfortably (although I really would like to find that, somehow). I am also posting what I find to try and help the next fellow who comes along looking for the same thing if I can. Good luck to all of us who go against the grain. :teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
