  1. I haven't tried this particular lay out but I did find an xpadder profile on here, intended for TDM, that I adapted for New Dark and Thief 1 & 2. It works perfectly for the Dark Engine games because of its built-in analog joystick support. I can't tell you how great analog support is in a game like the Thief series with the ability to crouch 'n' creep oh oh so slowly with incredible precision. Speaking of which, has the latest version of TDM adopted analog support for controllers yet? I've been getting back into Thief FMs using the Xpadder profile I mentioned and a Sony DS4 controller with DS4Windows but I'd love to start playing TDM FMs again.
  2. Haven't played this yet but really looking forward to it, with its unusual gameplay & progressive approach to a subject which can be considered controversial and touchy to some gamers.
  3. Wow, what great news! I predict a new burst of activity in the Thief FM community, from both new modders & talented veterans alike. Good times ahead, boys. Good times ahead. Maybe it'll even lead to a new engine being developed for Thief with funding by Square-Enix/Amazon that incorporates more modern physics and heavy optimization + a fantastic new FM editor/mission builder, with the TDM guys being major contributers. I just have a hankering to go ziplining in the Thief uinverse. :-) Aswand.
  4. I basically leave the analog sticks umapped on Thief Gold & Thief 2 and let their native analog support do the rest, and aside from repositioning a couple of controls on The Dark Mod and keeping it as close to the schemes on T1 & T2 as possible so I don't have to remember special keys with the Thief games when I use the 360 controller & Xpadder, I pretty much keep your layout intact.
  5. I use an Xbox 360 controller to play Thief 1, 2 & TDM and it works amazingly well, especially with Thief 1 & 2 including analog joystck movement. I think TDM would benefit well from analog controller support in future builds. The Thief games are perfect for a good controller, imo. For FPS shooters, a mouse & keyboard (or mouse & controller) are still best though. Aswand
  6. Just wanted to say that I use this loadout (with some modification) for my own Xpadder profile for Thief 1, 2 & TDM fan missions and it works perfectly. It's especially great for Thief Gold & Thief 2 because they support analog movement. It's just sooooo much easier to creep past (or creep behind for a good BJ) an NPC with analog movment on an Xbox 360 controller than it is having to fuss with special movement speed buttons and/or keys. So thanks for that. Been using Xpadder for several years but actually didn't know how to set up the multiple set switch until now. This is the perfect controller scheme for the games, imo. I can't wait for the developers of TDM to implement analog stick support in their excellent mod. Aswand
