[Request] Native Controller Support for non-steam TSL versions

Recommended Posts

Many people discovered Kotor from the Xbox Versions and thus started playing by using a controller. I started the same way, but quickly switched to the PC versions once TSLRP was announced and more and more mods were coming out. So I had to get used to Mouse/Keyboard controll.

However, being more of a console player myself I eventually discovered a fine program called Xpadder which allows the mapping of mouse/keyboard buttons onto a controller. I even soldered myself an adapter to connect the original xbox s controller to my pc, and installed custom drivers to get it to work and began playing kotor that way. If you also hook your pc/laptop up to a PC it gives you the feeling of playing it on the xbox but with better graphics and full mod support. With the help of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7a3XeWhC-4 I even got the controlls to be very close to the original version, especially after making a few modifications to the layout myself.

The only really annoying part is switching which force power/ability/grenade to attack with, but I got an ok workaround for that.

 

Now a new update was released for the steam version of tsl, which adds native controller support among other things. While there are plenty of other ways to use widescreen or for installing/managing your mods, the native controller support is something that is unique to this version. And as close as I have gotten with my current xpadder layout, it's just not quite as good as the steam versions' native controller support.

Now I'd imagine there are plenty of people who don't use/don't want to use the steam version for several reasons (don't want to rebuy the game, don't like valve/steam, prefer gog over steam, don't like drm, prefer physical etc.) so I was wondering if someone would be willing to try to make a mod that enables the same native controller support for 4CD/Collection/GOG.
