Custom Gamepad Control Mapping tutorial - FUEL: REFUELED mod for FUEL

T he base game of FUEL lacks any real way of changing the default control mappings for gamepad, but here is a short guide to manually customizing gamepad controls.

Instructions:

First thing you need to do is navigate to this file:

~\fuel\Input\input.PC

Opening said file will present you with an array of settings as shown in the text below:

InputDefAdd LEFT_ACTION LANALOG_LEFT LEFT
InputDefAdd RIGHT_ACTION LANALOG_RIGHT RIGHT
InputDefAdd UP_ACTION LANALOG_UP NULL
InputDefAdd DOWN_ACTION LANALOG_DOWN NULL
InputDefAdd CAMERA_LEFT_ACTION RANALOG_LEFT NULL
InputDefAdd CAMERA_RIGHT_ACTION RANALOG_RIGHT NULL
InputDefAdd CAMERA_UP_ACTION RANALOG_UP NULL
InputDefAdd CAMERA_DOWN_ACTION RANALOG_DOWN NULL
InputDefAdd CAMERA_RESET RSTICK NULL
InputDefAdd PAUSE_MODE START NULL
InputDefAdd INFOS BACK NULL
InputDefAdd CONTEXT B NULL
InputDefAdd ACCEL LT NULL 
InputDefAdd BRAKE RT NULL
InputDefAdd HANDBRAKE X NULL
InputDefAdd RESPAWN Y NULL
InputDefAdd BOOST A NULL
InputDefAdd PAD_DOWN DOWN NULL
InputDefAdd PAD_LEFT LEFT NULL
InputDefAdd PAD_UP UP NULL
InputDefAdd PAD_RIGHT RIGHT NULL
InputDefAdd L_FRONT LB NULL
InputDefAdd R_FRONT RB NULL
InputDefAdd L_BACK LT NULL
InputDefAdd R_BACK RT NULL
InputDefAdd MENU_UP LANALOG_UP NULL
InputDefAdd MENU_DOWN LANALOG_DOWN NULL
InputDefAdd MENU_RIGHT LANALOG_RIGHT NULL
InputDefAdd MENU_LEFT LANALOG_LEFT NULL
InputDefAdd MENU_VALID A NULL
InputDefAdd MENU_CANCEL Y NULL
InputDefAdd MENU_BACK B NULL
InputDefAdd MENU_VALI2 X NULL
InputDefAdd MENU_L1 LB NULL
InputDefAdd MENU_R1 RB NULL
InputDefAdd MENU_L2 LT NULL
InputDefAdd MENU_R2 RT NULL
InputDefAdd MENU_START START NULL
InputDefAdd MENU_SELECT BACK NULL
InputDefAdd MENU_R3 RSTICK NULL
InputDefAdd MENU_L3 LSTICK NULL
InputDefAdd MENU_RESET X NULL

Each line begins has the command (e.g. LEFT_ACTION) and then the gamepad mapping next to it. So if you wanted to invert the left and right gamepad controls for example, you would change the following:

InputDefAdd LEFT_ACTION LANALOG_LEFT LEFT
InputDefAdd RIGHT_ACTION LANALOG_RIGHT RIGHT

to

InputDefAdd LEFT_ACTION LANALOG_RIGHT RIGHT
InputDefAdd RIGHT_ACTION LANALOG_LEFT LEFT 

... and the value would be changed. However be sure to check all values, because there are different mappings for the camera and general menu movement.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments or the forum and I'll do my best to answer them. If you have a revised control mapping that you feel would benefit other users then share it on the forums.
