Could I use a gamepad on pc for Splinter Cell Conviction game ?




Mohamed El





Answer
Unfortunately, Splinter Cell PC does not provide support for Game Pads or Joysticks.

If you wish to use a joystick or game pad with Splinter Cell, you can only do so if your Joystick / Game pad has software that allows you to assign keyboard strokes to movement and buttons. Contact your controller manufacturer or the documentation that came with the controller to see if you have the ability to assign keystrokes to movement and buttons.

This is possible through the use of the controller software and not through Splinter Cell.

For example, if you have one of Microsoft's Sidewinder line of controllers, you can use the Sidewinder software to assign keystrokes in the following manner:

You remap the keys on your joystick in the games remap keys section of the options screen. In remap keys section, select the action you wish to assign a button to, click on this action with the mouse, then hit the button to which you want to assign an action.

If your joystick includes software to map keys to the buttons and directional pad or Joystick movement, this is most likely the best option. NOTE: before trying this, check your joystick / gamepad documentation to ensure your controller has this ability to assign keystrokes to movement and that you are able to change these configurations.

but some websites say it is better to use a game pad, so if u can get the Microsoft pad, good for you..

My left analog stick for my pc gamepad won't work for most games?

Everything works except for the right analog. Two games it will work for but all the rest are compatible for a controller but still it won't work. I pirate games but I don't think that has anything to do with it cause the ones it does work with are also pirated. Even the games that are pre programed for a controller still won't work. The driver program for the controller is logitech profiler. Any advice would help thanks.


Answer
Is there a configuration application with that logitech driver? Is it a logitech pad?

If there's a calibration program, open it up and see how it numbers the axes and buttons. Some games will automatically assume the axes are 0,1,2,3. Maybe they are numbered differently on that one.

If it doesn't say, see if it saves the calibration, then enable hidden file viewing and track down the configuration file. It should be recorded there what the axes are.

Then the games themselves, even the ones that are pad-compatible might just be meant to work with one stick, not two. A lot of shooters do this, because pc shooter fans will still sneer at you if you don't aim with the mouse. They will let you move with the left stick, but the aiming remains excusively with the mouse. If there are look keys though, you could use a keypress emulator to get around that. That is a utility that translates the right stick movement into customized keyboard events.

It has nothing to do with the games being pirated.

Try downloading a flightsim called Targetware. It's free cause it's in beta. It is extremely gamepad compatible and might give some clues to how the other games look at your gamepad, cause it has its own calibration utility.

Since it works with a couple of games, it's not broken. Just a compatibility issue.

If you can open the configuration files for the games, you may be able to manually edit the axis and button bindings. In fact, you should be able to do so on any respectable game. I had to do this with quake 2 when I installed it on my ps3.
