Vampire Bloodlines Camera Control

I would like to be able to control the character in VM Bloodlines similar to Splinter Cell/Ninja Gaiden (when in 3rd Person View).

The default action is that the camera is fixed to the back of the character. I want the camera to rotate around the character.

I am using an Xbox controller for Bloodlines and I would like the right thumbstick to be the camera, and the left for control.

Since VM Bloodlines uses the source engine, it should be similar to HL2. If anyone knows how to do this, I would appreciate it.

I have cut and pasted my Bloodlines joystick.cfg file below. I have mapped the numpad to rotate the camera about the character, but it is useless for gameplay.

For a start, do not use the basic joypad setting while using an X-Box controller. Because the analogue will not act like an analogue stick but like a D-Pad.

However, get a program called ControlMK (Gonna have to google it) to turn the Joypad into a digital signal representing a key on the keyboard.

It'll make it less of a headache (And its how I play Far Cry using an X-Box joypad which works really really well!)
