Enclave controller support tutorial

Tutorial originally posted on Ogier-Editor.com. Mirrored here for archival purposes

Enclave can be played using a controller using one of two methods. I would recommend the first option of the two, as it results in the smoothest experience when setting up and playing the game.

The following are suggested controls that are largely based on the original console version of Enclave. Small changes have been made to improve play, or compensate for button layout differences.

Move - Left Stick

Look - Right Stick

Crouch - Left Stick Button

Jump - Right Stick Button (Also set to the A Button.)

Attack - Right Trigger

Attack2 / Use Item - Left Trigger (Also set to the B Button.)

Change Item - DPad Left/Right

Change Weapon - DPad Up/Down (Also set to the Left/Right Shoulder Buttons.)

Change Camera - X Button

Drink Potion - Y Button

Open Menu - Start Button

Option 1: External Tools

Tools such as Xpadder or an input wrapper can be used to capture controller inputs for any game, including Enclave. This is currently the more flexible of the methods, and a preset Xpadder config file for Enclave's default controls is available below. (This preset file follows the above recommended control settings.)

Option 2: Config Files

Enclave has functioning controller support, but it has been disabled in the PC release of the game. This can be enabled and modified using the below steps, although there may be issues with certain controllers. (e.g. Triggers and the DPad on a Xbox 360 controller will not function as individual buttons, and the controller will not work for navigating the game menus.)

• Either replace the controller binds at the top of the Config.mpp file (found in the main Enclave directory), or create a new .mpp file with your bindings. Below is a config that can be used and tweaked further as desired. (Note - Rather than being bound to the Left Trigger, attack2 is instead bound to both the Left Shoulder Button and the B Button.)

   bind2 "joy0_axis08", "press crouch", "release crouch"; //Crouch by pressing Left Stick
   bind2 "joy0_axis09", "moveup 1; press jump", "moveup 0; release jump"; //Jump by pressing Right Stick
   bind2 "joy0_axis00", "moveup 1; press jump", "moveup 0; release jump"; //Jump by pressing A Button

   bindrep "joy0_axis0e", "int a0 = arg0/255.0; if(a0) { press attack } else { release attack }"; //Attack by pressing either Trigger
   bind2 "joy0_axis04", "press attack2", "release attack2"; //Second attack or use item by pressing Left Shoulder Button
   bind2 "joy0_axis01", "press attack2", "release attack2"; //Second attack or use item by pressing B Button

   bind "joy0_axis0f", "int a0 = arg0/255.0; if(a0) { cmd nextitem } int a1 = arg1/255.1; if(a1) { cmd nextweapon }"; //Horizontal DPad changes item, vertical DPad changes weapon
   //bind "joy0_axis04", "cmd prevweapon"; //Previous weapon by pressing Left Shoulder Button
   //bind "joy0_axis05", "cmd nextweapon"; //Next weapon by pressing Right Shoulder Button
   bind "joy0_axis02", "cyclecameramode 0, 1"; //Switch between third and first person by pressing X Button
   bind "joy0_axis03", "activateitem \"0x106\""; //Use potion by pressing Y Button

   bind "joy0_axis07", "releaseall; cl_opengamemenu"; //Open menu with Start Button
}

• Open Options.cfg and modify or add the line 'C (without the quotes). The name Config can refer to any file where your specified controller bindings exist, eg DevConfig.mpp, or ControllerXbox.mpp.
