I still have some work before we can play though: For us, we have only one computer that would run the game properly so having two copies wouldn't help.Īnyway, your post was of great help so thanks again. I believe you can play online with splitscreen activated too but the experience is surely better that way anyway. Unfortunately, since the keyboard ID tag cannot be changed, as all keyboards are read from ID tag 1, that means that you cannot have 2 keyboard inputs at any time.
However, if you can’t get it to work, then you must manually change the Xbox 360 controllers config settings - if the line is "cmd1", then change it to "cmd2".
Joyadvancedupdate // advanced joystick update allows for analog control of move and lookĬmd1 bind "A_BUTTON" "+jump +menuAccept" Ĭmd2 bind "A_BUTTON" "+jump +menuAccept" Joy_advanced "1" // use advanced joystick options (allows for multiple axes) (The negative value of the yaw sensitivity should not be removed, as it will not function properly if so). ALWAYS REMEMBER, if you want to change the 1st ID tag player, than use the "cmd1" line, and if you want to change the 2nd ID tag palyer, then use the "cmd2" line. These 2 specific lines change the sensitivity of the right analog stick for the Xbox 360 Controller.ĭepending on your taste, lower or increase the values by 0.1 decimals at the least (0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 etc), and 1.0 values at the most (1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 etc). The following lines are found in the given scripts.
HOW TO CHANGE YOUR CONTROLLER SENSITIVITY/LOOK SETTINGS: They can be played around with, but be sure to make backups just in case. These lines are very important, and they differentiate between PLAYER 1 (cmd1) and PLAYER 2 (cmd2). TIP : Below, the given scripts either start off with "cmd1" or "cmd2". STEP 5: Both Xbox 360 Controllers plugged in (both wireless and wired work) should have 100% functionality with the DEFAULT GIVEN CONFIG. STEP 4: For METHOD 2, after saving and naming that file into the directory, run Left 4 Dead again and type "exec SPLITSCREEN_2_XBOX 360_CONFIG.cfg" METHOD 2: Copy the ENTIRE text in a ".cfg" file, and save that file into your" \Left 4 Dead\left4dead\cfg\" folder, and name it "SPLITSCREEN_2_XBOX 360_CONFIG.cfg" METHOD 1: Copy all of the given text for whichever specific type of controls you want, into the console command. STEP 2: Open up the console (tilde key/ to enable it, go to options) POST SCRIPT: THIS IS ONLY FOR CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION, THIS IS NOT INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PLAY SPLITSCREEN MODE. This post will teach you how to use BOTH Keyboard/Mouse and Xbox 360 Controllers in SPLITSCREEN mode.
Plus a lot of people neglect the fact that local coop for PC games is amazing because of all the real estate many of us have (using HDTVs as monitors as I do). We have the most flexible platform, why not have the option of playing with family or friends in the same room? You're not always going to want to go online with random people and some games just work well for playing split screen. Problem with the PC community is they have this stigma that states if it's a console-like feature then it's not something that should exist on PC games at all, where as I am of your mind set where it should be an option.
I don't get this whole stigma of no splitscreen on a computer. Originally posted by Raamah:I have a girlfriend, we play games together, L4D2 is fun (especially co-op) and I don't own an xbox and I don't want to buy another copy of the game.
