Xbox 360 Controller Setup

Tested using T3D Open Source(10/15/12) and Windows 7

1. Plug in you xbox 360 controller

1a. The wired Xbox 360 controller is interchangable with the pc and xbox. If you plug in your xbox controller and check for windows updates, it should find the drivers for you.

1b. I also believe a wireless Xbox 360 controller and the play and recharge cable will work too.

2. Update controller drivers(Skip if step was already completed in 1a)

3. Open My Projects/NameofProjectHERE/game/scripts/client/default.bind.cs with a script editor

4. Find:

moveMap.bind(keyboard, q, nextWeapon);
moveMap.bind(keyboard, ctrl q, prevWeapon);
moveMap.bind(mouse, zaxis, mouseWheelWeaponCycle);

5. Just below it, add:

moveMap.bind(gamepad, btn_l, prevWeapon);			//Shoulder_LT	Edited
moveMap.bind(gamepad, btn_r, nextWeapon);			//Shoulder_RT	Edited

6. Save and Startup T3D
7. The controller shoulder buttons should now cycle through weapons
8. For more examples, see full script. NOTE: Controls aren't set in stone, feel free to change them!

Update - Gamepad Vehicles
If the player mounts a vehicle while using a gamepad, the vehicle will start driving on its own.

To fix this, find:

in client/client.cs

function clientCmdtoggleVehicleMap(%toggle)  
{  
   if(%toggle)  
   {  
      moveMap.pop();  
      vehicleMap.push();  
   }  
   else  
   {  
      vehicleMap.pop();  
      moveMap.push();  
   }  
}

and add 2 lines to it:

function clientCmdtoggleVehicleMap(%toggle)  
{  
   if(%toggle)  
   {  
    $mvForwardAction = 0;//Gamepad vehicle stop     BrittEdit  
    $mvBackwardAction = 0;//Gamepad vehicle stop    BrittEdit  
      moveMap.pop();  
      vehicleMap.push();  
   }  
   else  
   {  
      vehicleMap.pop();  
      moveMap.push();  
   }  
}

This will keep the vehicle at rest until the game receives input from the user.

Update 11/15/12 - Gamepad Rumble
Can't believe I forgot about this! *smacks head*

We will begin with starting the rumble

in client/default.bind.cs find:

if(%val > 0.1 && !$gamepadFireTriggered)
   {
      $gamepadFireTriggered = true;
      $mvTriggerCount0++;
   }

just below $mvTriggerCount0++; and inside the if statement, add:

rumble(gamepad, 0.25, 0.25);//deviceName, Left Motor(low-frequency),Right Motor(high-frequency)

Then we will stop the rumble

in client/default.bind.cs find:

else if(%val <= 0.1 && $gamepadFireTriggered)
   {
      $gamepadFireTriggered = false;
      $mvTriggerCount0++;
   }

just below $mvTriggerCount0++; and inside the else if statement, add:

rumble(gamepad, 0, 0);

I'm no programmer, but I try.

Questions and comment are welcome!
