[REQ] pc version hotkey with XBOX360 controller

Post » Mon May 14, 2012 7:52 pm

First of all, thanks to all who make mods. :)

I started to play skyrim with keyboard and mouse, but one of my friend told me that I have to play with xbox360 controller which contains awesome vibrate.
So I bought one and played with it.
One thing that makes me to keep remind me the keyboard is Hotkeys... I can only use TWO hotkeys with controller. Left and Right.
And here comes my request...

Is that possible to use left and right key to combination key?
e.g) . Left key + A button = 1. / Left key + B button = 2. Like this.

I have no idea how to make mod and have no idea about coding... so I'm thinking "why not?".

so... that is my question and request :)
and sorry for my poor english.. actually it's not my mother language...

Not really a Mod request.

But you can try http://xpadder.com/ and see if that can do what you're wanting.

I thought it'll work with some script... like OBSE...
Thanks anyway :)

I'm bumping this for a simple reason:

The broken UI controls for the PC are the reason this isn't current possible. I have a working Xpadder profile for My 360 controller.

For the mouse control works properly even allowing for adjustable deadzones and a custom vertical/horizontal sensitivity balance, allowing you to make that anolog still just how you need it.

For the movement (wasd) I set my stick to a 60% dead-zone on an eight-way split that does the diagonals holding A&W, W&D and so forth. This allows for "close enough" the the full anolog movement - when combined with strafing all the time it's unnoticeable.

Then the hat trick: we don't want to hit up the Favorites menu and pause the game constantly, but we want to play with a controller. So we get the D-pad a 4-way switch (since the 8-way implementation will not work because trying to use diagonals will accidentally trigger either of the directions instead of the diagonal and cause you to over-ride your right hand's weapon with the spells because that's what happens when you hit the key twice)

So we have hotkeys 1, 2, 3, 4 for spells, and then while holding a modifier 5 6 7 and 8. Now we can heal, stone-skin, fireball, summon frost atronach- and while holding "E" - mapped to "A" on the game pad- we can grab our glass mace, revenant, and two shout abilties.

The problem with this setup is that when you open the menu if wants F to be the E key for use. If I could remap use in the menu to E and so forth to match the game pad, I would be golden, but it doesn't seem to work. SO tab (on B) opens yet another toggle to a third control set for menus. For the better part, I have been able to make this work by assigning my "menu" control scheme an anolog that does WASD with matching different keys for menu controls.

Problem: two TAB hits seem necessary to exit the menu, meaning I get stuck on the wrong control set with the menu controls all the time.

Skyrim: and interface so bad it motivates you to hack together an xbox pad and 5 extra buttons from a mouse.


In addition, my shout abilities do not seem to switch when I hit my modifier key even though the spells and weapons work as expected.
