Gamepad Support

Can gamepad support be added to Crossfire? Many other games offer support but this game is one of my favorites and I think using a gamepad to play Crossfire would be nice.

Playing an FPS with a gamepad?

Use Xpadder if you really feel the need to.

Mappers don't work for CF, my friend tried and it just closed CF after giving him a client error.

XTrap doesnt like gamepads. I doubt it will ever be supported since its so unpopular in PC FPS games.

Not a bad idea and I don't see why not. But anyone with a mouse and keyboard will easily out-perform anyone using a gamepad.

you can use an xbox 360 usb controller if you have the right program... its so difficult to use though so youll be better with a regular mouse.

No, you can't actually. That's the controller my friend tried, and it crashed CF. As was stated xTrap doesn't agree with gamepads or with mappers.

Yeah your pretty much defeating the fact that it is a PC game by using a gp.

I have a xbox 360 pad, if you guys have any programs I can give it a try.

It doesn't work. My friend already tried it with both an Xbox 360 and a PS3 controller. Xtrap simply doesn't support it.

There's a really simple way to do this yourself.

But as a feature implemented into the game, it won't happen.

There's a reason CF only accepts direct input,
and this would be taking a step back.

How many times will I have to say this...
There is no way to get a gamepad to work on Cross Fire, it's not the way Cross Fire handles it, it's the way xTrap handles it. xTrap simply does not agree with the use of a gamepad, and a mapper will cause an error when you try using it with Cross Fire.

Did I say mapper? I did not. And if I do explain the method I'd likely get banned sooo, don't ask.

Actually if you're not a computer nab you could do the mapper stuff too, you just have to make your own or find & edit source. But for general public, nope you're SoL like you said.

Still not seeing a gamepad being useful though.

Using a gamepad isn't supported by xTrap, as for mappers it thinks it's an unfair/malicious program trying to 'inject' something into the game.

The only way to avoid this would be to bypass xTrap completely, and run the game without the anti-hack software in place. Which is extremely illegal regarding the TaC for use of the game. This being said, they patched the no-xTrap injection method ages ago.

Simply put, gamepads cannot be used with Cross Fire unless you edit the files of the game/xTrap itself which is just as illegal as running the game without xTrap.
