You'll save yourself alot of hassle in a number of ways by just using the mouse and keyboard :angel:

what games???

 

[Dalamari]

For sports games and racing games you always need a controller, or a racing wheel in the case of racing games

Can't imagine why you want a controller for hl2

i got it...thnks to google:

To make both of the analog sticks work in Source games copy the joystick.cfg file and put it in the /cfg/ folder for your game.
joystick.cfg

http://support.steampowered.com/downloads/faq/421/joystick.cfg

The path to the /cfg/ folder will vary depending upon the game you are using - the folder path will look like this (where <username> is your Steam account username and <game> / <abbreviated game> is the game's title / abbreviated title):

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\<username>\<game>\<abbreviated game>\cfg

After placing the joystick.cfg file please load the game. Once the the game is loaded please follow the instructions below:

1. Check the 'Joystick', and 'Joystick Look' boxes under the 'Mouse' tab in the options menu.
2. Go to Keyboard, Advanced, and check the 'Enable Developers Console (~)' box.
3. Open the Developer Console with the ~ key, and type exec joystick

You can then bind the additional keys (such as fire, reload, etc.) using the keyboard menu.

If you would like to use the typical Xbox controller setup, copy the following lines into the top of the config.cfg file for the proper game using notepad. The config.cfg file can be found in the same location referenced above - or enter each line manually into the developers console.
bind "JOY1" "+jump"
bind "JOY2" "+reload"
bind "JOY3" "+speed"
bind "JOY4" "+use"
bind "AUX5" "+attack2"
bind "AUX6" "+attack"
bind "AUX7" "impulse 100"
bind "AUX9" "+duck"
bind "AUX10" "+zoom"
bind "AUX29" "lastinv"
bind "AUX30" "invnext"
bind "AUX31" "phys_swap"
bind "AUX32" "invprev"

also if you play TF2 or Day of Defeat go to consle and put in exec 360controller
I couln't do it for half-life2: Death Match so thanks for this info man.
For those of you who tell him to play with keyboard just STFU and let the man play
the same thing happened in my threadhttp://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1081015

You do realise you are 2 years late

 

[TheOneFreeMan]

Even two years late, I'd still like to mock this guy for wanting to use a controller for HL2.

 

[cdoublejj]

yeah well now i'm a year late. okay smart azzez kind hard to use a mouse in your lap when your playing on the TV.

 

[Acepilotf14]

Get a TV tray or something.

 

[cdoublejj]

the trays don't always fit around a recliner. i've played with the keyboard and mouse in the living room for a while it's awkward and annoying. i have the 360 controls for hl2 not bad much more advantaged using the K+M setup, the only problem i have now is i think my controller is defective. the camera keeps moving even if nothing is pressed while just setting there.

 

[MorganFreeman911]

restart the system, don't touch the controller.
That usually works.

 

[cdoublejj]

really? i'm gonna give that a try.

yeah well now i'm a year late. okay smart azzez kind hard to use a mouse in your lap when your playing on the TV.

 

[cdoublejj]

Hahahaha, nice. well i tried restarting it might just be the hl2. i'll still exchange it for another if i can. works great in all my other games.

 

[Henkiee]

Try Reinstalling your Joystick drivers @ Control Panel then Game Controllers

 

[BobbZzz]

yeah i agree with the other people
keyboard and mouse are much better to use

not only that but they also make it seem more realistic

 

[Emporius]

How does it make it more realistic?

 

[Acepilotf14]

It doesn't make it realistic it all, it's just better.
