Re: cant set button on joystick

To get that to work I had to edit the controls.con file in notepad, adding the button.  It was a while ago,  so I'll have to go retrace my steps to remember what I did.   Er.... If you don't get a reply from official channels.  tongue

Don't forget to make a backup copy of your controls.con file before you go messing with it tho.

Re: cant set button on joystick

In controls.con find the following:
ControlMap.create AirPlayerInputControlMap

Underneath that category look for:
ControlMap.addKeyToTriggerMapping c_PISprint IDFKeyboard IDKey_LeftShift 0 0


Beneath that line add:
ControlMap.addButtonToTriggerMapping c_PISprint IDFGameController_0 IDButton_1 0 1

Replace IDButton_1 with whichever joystick button you wish to use.


Then do the same beneath:
ControlMap.create HelicopterPlayerInputControlMap


Controls.con is generally found in something along the lines of:
C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Battlefield 2142\Profiles\0001
