GameController

This page will show you how to set up a new joystick or gamecontroller for Bitfighter.

1. Download the controller map utility
   • Windows: http://bitfighter.org/files/controllermap.zip
   • MacOS X: http://bitfighter.org/files/controllermap_osx.zip
   • Linux: Compile it from the SDL source code (sorry!)
2. Make sure you have only one joystick or controller plugged in.
3. Launch the controllermap utility and follow the instructions to map your controller buttons
4. When done a long, single line of text like this will be shown:

030000006d04000016c2000010010000,Logitech Logitech Dual Action,platform:Linux,a:b1,b:b2,x:b0,y:b3,back:b8,start:b9,dpup:h0.1,dpdown:h0.8,dpleft:h0.2,dpright:h0.4,-leftx:a0,+leftx:a1,-lefty:a0,righttrigger:b7,

1. Add this text to a new line into the file called usergamecontrollerdb.txt found in your Bitfighter preferences folder found at:
   • Windows:  %appdata%\Bitfighter\
   • MacOS X: ~/Library/Preferences/Bitfighter/
   • Linux: ~/.bitfighter/
2. Send the text to the bitfighter developers (devs@bitfighter.org) or post it in the forums. We will add it into the next game release.
