EDIT: This does NOT allow you to use any type of automation of macroing, what this does is allow different devices to be used as a peripheral (keyboards/mouse/draw pads etc) ie: a controller as a mouse/keyboard.
Hackshield cannot and will not detect this as a macro software because it is not.


Other device mapper such as xpadder which I have tested is joystix(might not be ro2 compatible) http://pinnaclegameprofiler.com/.
suggested by posters: motionjoy


Added: Tetsamaru SS of his motionjoy set up with PS3 controller.

Hello I decided to make a guide for RO2 like I have done in the past for other games, for time sake I will be copy and pasting from my old guides which is applicable.

Background, I started playing MMOs with a controller strangely after I quit playing RO1 and started playing Warhammer with joystick, first was for a sake of comfortability but later on because of job i started to develop really bad CTS.

one of my main guides can be found here (was made for Rift http://rift.mmosite....ml<br /><br />I use xpadder, credit goes to Jonathan the creator of xpadder because of the customization macro ability etc but can use http://pinnaclegameprofiler.com/

So onto the guide. (Once you ahve the basics down it can be applied to any game or program, you can even type with your controller)

I used xpadder (latest version) with a xbox 360 controller I currently use a Logitech controller, to me best controller is the ps controller because of the chatpad easy set up not needing additional drivers and giving near unlimited hotkeys.

Xpadder simulates the keyboard and mouse using your gamepad" - http://www.xpadder.com/ more information on where you can find the free version are in my posts below this one.
(version 5.2 and earlier are free 5.3 and above have to be purchased for $10).
1) after installing and opening xpadder you will get a pink image page in which you should press all the buttons on your controller. you will see on the left side image, sticks, dpad, buttons, triggers. click on sticks to set your analog sticks, dpad to set it etc
this is mine after all the buttons are pressed

1= left analog, 2= right analog, 3= dpad, 4=left trigger, 5=right trigger, 6= buttons which include x,y,b,x,lb,rb,start, select, the buttons when you press the analogs down.
2) Then you assign which keys to which buttons as you will like. example my left analog stick is WASD, you can click on the little wrench next to to quick assign.
This is my button set up

http://img6.mmo.mmo4...ontroller02.jpg

Explanation of my set up: for Xbox 360 and logitech
X= #1 on the keyboard,
Y=2
B=3
A=4,
Dpad left = 5
Dpad up=6
Dpad right= 7
Dpad Down= 8
LAD (left analog button)= left click
RAB (Right analog button)= space (jump)
Left button (the button above the trigger) = Tab (for targeting)
Start button is ESC but can be used for 9 or any other key you want.
Ctrl+= second hot bar
Shift+= third skill hot bar. *for CTRL or shift you can make them anything such as ALT etc


My right analog is my mouse and my Right button is my right click (this is easiest for me to move my camera around and right click and interact-able objects in game). I will advice though to click on the little wrench next to the right analog stick go to mouse settings and adjust the movement speed of it.
With this set up you can have 24 hot keys on your controller allowing you to fully utilize a lot of your skills.
Some small problems in targeting in this game as a whole, that is why i have esc as the back(select button) to quickly un-target and re-target.

There are some other adjustments that can be made and fine tuning, Feel free to message me with any questions or ideas IGN: Bloodless

this is my in game screenie and yes I only play with a controller besides pressing things like v or x or moving my mouse for a faster speed.

Khara mission wants me to kill 20 monsters? Have Raidcall up? Take hands off keyboard and go to town on my PS3 controller.

In before perma ban ^^

*Xpadder simulates the keyboard and mouse using your gamepad*

We are not allowed to make macro on regular keyboard and mouse,and you just show how to do it with another controller,not sure they are gonna like it

Xpadder is peripheral add on, what it does it allows other devices to be use as such, example a controller as a mouse/keyboard or a a razor naga mouse as a full keyboard, or even your xbox kinect as a controller/mouse/keyboard

Edit: Also I did not show how to macro I you cannot use automated macro'ing with xpadder unless the game always it.
Also if that was the case g-10, x15 keyboards high end gaming mouses would be in the same category.

I see no problem with this, games like Dynasty warriors and Rusty Hearts can be played with a keyboard or game controller no problem. I freaking hate playing Rusty Hearts with a keyboard, i use my PS3 controller.

I could experiment trying to use my PS3 controller for RO2. Not like I need to use 20 hotkeys on my Sorc anyway when i'm normal leveling.(i'll still use my keyboard when I go into a party dungeon though)

And if THIS is bannable, then let's ban gaming mouses too! Because gaming mouses let you bind your keyboard keys to your extra mouse buttons.

My own gaming mouse, i almost never touch my keyboard other than to chat.

hackshield automatically detects XPadder as a type of macroing software, nuff said, so it still counts as a category of macro-ing software on some extent/Profiling, hackshield looks at what you've got in the background running, so it's 3rd party.

EVERYTHING is gonna be a 3rd party. I have a logetic software running in the background for my gaming mouse. Have keys binded to my 1 through 0 keys and even a WASD.

-----------------------------
Just finished mapping my PS3 controller. I have to say, this feels really nice for farming mats or just killing off regular Khara missions.

Oh really!? so tell me how did i go from level 1 to 35 in the beta then level 1-50 on one character 1-25 on my ranger and 1-20 on a swordie all using a controller without it ever coming across an issue from hackkshield?

please dont post false or misleading information, if you come across an error please post a screen shot.
It is like installing software for a mouse a keyboard a controller. and again you cannot use it for automating macroing, time-intrusion macroing.

That happens with some people who do not even use a controller, it is more of a hackshield bug and not related.
edit: as seen in this thread http://forums.warppo...shielded-again/

oh never heard of motion joy, I will test that out. and will add it to the OP.

My error is related to Macroing. Even I got the error you posted about, its a packet sent from the game that hackshield doesn't recognize and hence shuts down.

Post a Screenshot of it.

The auto-macroing error comes from hackshield running mostly on 32bit machines and with some usb mouse.
Hackshield use to have a faq on it but am getting a http://global.ahnlab...r_page_eng.html page error when I try to go to it. seems like they are updating their webpages and services.

I use a controller & xpadder as well, but I have a different setup.

Xbox Controller

X: 1
Y: 2
B: 3
A: JUMP (spacebar)

Back button: 4
Start button: 5

D-Pad Up: 6
D-Pad Down: 7
D-Pad Left: 9
D-Pad Right: 0

Left Analog Stick: W Q S E (Movement & strafing)
Right Analog Stick: Mouse

LAB (Left analog button): Autoloot ®
RAB (Right analog button): Switch Target (Tab)

Left Bumper: Right click
Right Bumper: Left click


Holding Right Trigger switches to Set #2, where:

X= Shift + 1
Y= Shift + 2
B = Shift + 3

Etc (basically same as above but substitute "shift +" with the numbers)

However, Right trigger + LAB (left analog button): Guardian (V)


Holding Left trigger goes to set #3, 3rd row of macros:

X: Alt + 1
Y: Alt +2
B: Alt +3

ETC, same as first set but with Alt.

Left Trigger + LAB (left analog button) = Sit (x)



I don't use the "8" hot key in all 3 rows, since I lack space for it on the controller.

Yeah you can, you might have to configure the deadzone/intensity at which it triggers the key. My controller doesn't have a trigger per say but I use my L2 button as shift.

getting the marco suspicion error, I think its if buttons are pressed too quickly, or if your joystick sticks a certian way.

The only time i get errored is if my joy stick is stuck forward or the side or if im using the triggers. which happens a lot...
