EiriktheScald Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I find using a keyboard and mouse is a bit awkward whilst sitting in front of a Widescreen TV. For those that play the Baldur's Gate series on their TV, what input device do you prefer? Link to comment
EiriktheScald Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 I'm using a mac-mini as a media/game server. Remote Buddy let's you program, for example, an apple remote. I'm going to try that. Link to comment
Miloch Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Eirik! By Thor's beard, I haven't seen you since we used to plunder the coasts of Iceland when only unfrocked Irish monks lived there!* As for your choice of modern hardware, have you considered changing your Mac for a Linux machine? Basically, you would improve your situation with less money. Apart from that, I cannot comment on your situation, since I have not used a Mac since the Stone(d) Age, many epochs ago. Having said that, I do prefer both a traditional wired keyboard and mouse because I find they're more precise. But maybe that's just me. On another note, have you considered finishing your mod? Just curious. *Edit: when Scandinavian vikings first discovered Iceland, they found only the relics of Irish clerics. Link to comment
EiriktheScald Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 Someone has mapped an xbox360 controller for windows using Pinnacle Game Profiler: http://pinnaclegameprofiler.com/gp/baldurs-gate I took their layout and mapped a Steelseries Nimbus controller using ControllerMate, which works quite well: Dpad left cycles thru characters 1-3, hold selects all three Dpad right cycles thru characters 4-6, hold selects all three Dpad up selects all 6 characters Dpad down cycles thru Inventory,Character Sheet, Mage Spells, Priest Spells, and on hold journal With Left Trigger down Dpad is 1-4 Dpad Up being 1 and moving counter-clockwise Dpad Right being 4With Right Trigger down Dpad is 5-8 Dpad Up being 5 and moving counter-clockwise Dpad Right being 8 (useful for Dialog Choices) Left Analog Stick pans the camera Right analog Stick controls mouse LB is left Click RB is right click The A button is special abilities or F12 The X button will cycle thru F4 and F5, and on hold F6 The B button is pause or spacebar The Y button is cast magic or F7 When the left trigger is held A is F1, X is F2, B is F3, and Y F4 When the Right trigger is held A is F5, X is F6, B is F7, and Y F8 Home is options or escape On another note, have you considered finishing your mod? Just curious. Yes, in fact, I'm setting up the controller to do a walk through. My goal is to have the dialog completed by springtime. And I shortened the saga to a þættir (tale) about a conversation between the king of Norland and a young adventurer from Norheim . Link to comment
