This guide is really good. If only Valve gave us the gamepad support code so mods with custom binaries could use it though. --Mandrew (talk) 15:26, 10 June 2022 (PDT)




So, did anyone figure out how to actually make it work on (e.g. Steam-) Controller?

I tried a few things that didn't work:
- ❌ `sc_force_action_manifest hl2` - doesn't seem to work.
- ❌ `sc_enable 1` - doens't do anything (is 1 by default)
- ❌ `sc_controller_mode 1` - doesn't do anything (is 0 by default)
- ❌ all of the above in `autoexec.cfg` doesn't work
- ❌ copy `steam_input/action_manifest_hl2.vdf` and editing it to be *<modname>*-specific instead of *HL2*-specific, then `sc_force_action_manifest <modname>` (still tries to load from Half-Life 2 folder, not relative mod folder - and even if you copy *<modname>*-specific files there, I couldn't get it to work.
Ideas appreciated! --Tea (talk)
