porkbone 38 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I recently installed Need For Speed World only to find it doesn't work with a gamepad (Xbox 360). I setup Xpadder to map the keys to the Xbox 360 controller and now it works great, but the problem is if Xpadder is running in the background, it messes up the controller configs for most of my other games. Is there a way for Gamebrowser III to launch an xpadder profile I made for this game and to close Xpadder when I close the game? Been looking online at the forums for NFS World, Xpadder and here and not having any luck yet. I'm hoping someone knows how to do this, or can point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Solution shaefurr 1337 Posted June 25, 2014 Solution Share Posted June 25, 2014 All you need to do is make xpadders default profile blank with no assigned buttons. Then make a new profile for NFS world and set the autoprofile for NFS. This way when you open NFS world it loads up the profile, when it closes it defaults back to the blank profile and wont mess anything up. I have my setup like this for about 25 games so I know it works just fine. If you need more step by step on how to do it let me know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkbone 38 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Thanks shaefurr, that is just what I'm looking for! But i might need a little help. I tried to do what you suggested, but it didn't work due to me not completely understanding how to setup a blank default. I thought I had done that and set the autoprofile for the nfs world exe, but no response. I guess I will need a little hand holding on this one.

porkbone 38 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Never mind shaefurr, I figured it out. Thanks for your help - It's greatly appreciated! Works perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddyweiser 105 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 This is awesome. I quit using xpadder because I couldn't figure out how to properly configure the controls to work with different apps. I will definitely have to take another look at it. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaefurr 1337 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Ya, its actually easy to setup, make a new profile and set the controls for whatever youre playing, save it. Then go into the autoprofile, Click New, Choose the profile you want to load, then choose a program/game, done. When that game opens it loads the profile you selected, then reverts back to the default when you exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So right now I'm trying to setup a basic windows control profile (under set #1 renamed Default), and I want different controls for MBT/MBC, do I put these controls in set#2? or do I need to make a whole new profile?

shaefurr 1337 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Honestly i havnt used the "sets" since they added them a while back. I just click the little sheet icon next to the profile name, click new, set it up however you want, save it, then create the auto profile for MBT/MBC.

buddyweiser 105 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Ok cool, I'll do it that way then. So what are the sets for then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddyweiser 105 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 So I got this all setup with auto profile launching for MBC and emulators and it's awesome. But I have a quick question. Does it work with multiple controllers ie 2player games? Like for donkey Kong country if I wanted to setup 2 controllers, would that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaefurr 1337 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I havnt tried it, the only games I play when friends come over is games that natively support a controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it work with multiple controllers ie 2player games? Like for donkey Kong country if I wanted to setup 2 controllers, would that work? Ok so I finally setup my xpadder again, yeah you can use 2 controllers with xpadder. Basically when you open a game and have the autoprofile setup, it assigns the 1st controller to that profile. So to have 2 controllers, you need 2 entries in the auto profile (1 for each controller). So say for Donkey Kong, after you have the button profile setup, make the auto profile as usual, just do it twice. Haven't tried this but its what it says on the xpadder forum. Also, I looked into the "sets". Basically when you normally setup a button profile youre using set 1. If you have a game that needs more buttons than whats on your controller, you can assign more buttons in say, Set 2. Then somewhere on set 1 you just need to assign a button (either a press, or HOLD) to change/pull up set 2. This ive used before I just forgot since its been a while. If you need any more help i can post pics and step by step instructions, just let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaefurr 1337 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Ok @@shaefurr, I'm having trouble figuring out how to make a button change sets Ok its actually pretty simple. Pick or create a new profile, then.. Set up Set 1 Set up Set 2 Then go back to Set 1, choose a button to pull up Set 2, right click on the button and do as seen in the pic. In this example, whenever you hold the "back" button, Set 2 will be active, releasing it reverts back to Set 1. You can also make it a "1-way" which will switch to Set 2 on button press, and not revert back. Or a "2-way" which will be a button press change from Set 1 to Set 2, and so forth. You can use this method for up to 8 sets per profile, though id imagine that would get confusing as hell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
