Conan, no X360 pad support

by Craig on May 28th, 2008

I purchased Age of Conan today, a brand new MMORPG from Funcom. I was devastated to see that although it carries the “Games for Windows” label it doesnt support the XBOX 360 Controller for Windows.

So i set about making my own button layout.

Ok here is a zip folder with Xpadder and a 360 controller layout pic aswell as my custom AoC button layout.

There are a few changes to the default button keybindings in AoC and theres alot of controls to add so an explanation of how its controlled it probably needed.

Here are the following keybinding changes within AoC:

Sheath/Unsheath Weapon = Tab

Arrange Shield Left = F5

Arrange Shield Centre = F6

Arrange Shield Right = F7

Arrange Shield All = F8

And as promised a quick As Possible explanation of the control system.

There are 2 modes Combat and Normal. When LT is held down Combat mode is Active.( The controller will gently Rumble when you are in Combat mode

But first Normal mode:

• LS is for Movement/Looking Around and holding LS Button is to Sprint
• RS is for Mouse Control and Pressing RS button is to Left Click
• On the D-Pad Left is Left Click,
• Right is Right Click
• Up is Scroll Up
• Down is Scroll Down
• A is to Jump
• Y is to Use
• X is to bring up the Journal
• B is for Inventory and Equipment
• LB is for Combos, Spells and Special Abilities
• RB is for Skills and Attributes
• Back is for the Map
• Start is to bring up the Menu
• RT is to Hide
• and holding LT is to switch to Combat mode and Sheath/Unsheath Weapon.

And in Combat Mode Controls are the same except for:

• D-Pad Left is Focus Shields Left
• Right is Focus Shields Right
• Up is Focus Shields Centre
• Down is Focus Shields All
• X is Action Button 4
• A is Action Button 5
• Y is Action Button 6
• B is Action Button 7
• LB is Action Button 8
• RB is Action Button 9
• Back is Action Button 10

In Combat Mode on the LS:

• Push LS in the direction of attack (e.g. Pushing it Left and Up will do the Top Left Attack or pushing it Right will do Lower Right Attack)
• Pushing LS Down will use Active Blocking.

I hope thats not too confusing.
