Joypad Support

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 9:03 am

So, I enjoy playing my games with a console pad. I've decided to give Oblivion another go, but I can't get the damned pad to work. I have pretty much everything working except for one thing.

The left anologue stick. It will work completely fine, I will walk if I slightly push the stick, and my speed will build up the further I push it. Until a limit. When I've almost got the stick fully pushed, I'll walk again. It's pretty annoying when I'm spending half my fights walking. I instinctivly push the stick as far as it can go. Can anyone help me out? I've looked around the internet, and around these forums, but every time I try something, I get no good results.

I use Xpadder to map most of the buttons needed, but I can't do it for the left anologue stick, for three reasons:

  • I pretty much lose the ability to walk, unless I use a toggle run button. I have no spare space on the pad for that.
  • I get another problem with walking when I use this method that's impossible to fix. (buggy diagonal walking)
  • Using the in-game method gives me more control. It's very... all over the place, when I map the anologue stick to WASD.


I'm using an Xbox 360 pad.

This just maps my pad to emulate key presses. As I said, this isn't a solution for me. (Besides, it's just nicer and smoother to use the in-game methods)

And his method for allowing walking ala console versions just makes it so I can do that. It doesn't address my problem.

Also, as I said, I've been around the forums looking for an answer.

In Xpadder, there should be a menu where you can change the area and intensity of the speed of different joystick positions.

As for the other issues, I'm not sure.
