Controller deadzone

Oct 09, 2015 MistaKill link
Hi, im new to the android version of the game and I'm looking for a way to set controller deadzone. My sticks have taken a few knocks and settle outside the default deadzone shown in the controls menu. I don't see any option to set it when you're calibrating either. Is there a work around or a plan to implement this feature? Or am I blind and it's staring me in the face?

You are not blind, but there is a fudge kind of fix.

If you are on at least Android 4+ (below is a diffrenet folder) go to

/sdcard/Android/data/com.guildsoftware.vendetta/files/ (NOTE, sdcard DOES NOT MEAN ON YOUR SDCARD!, since Android 4 and up, /sdcard refers to the devices internal memory) in any decent file manager app (I recommend "es file explorer") and you will find a file called config.ini, (if you do not see this file, you are in the wrong place) open this with any text editor (the built in one will be fine, but the one that comes with es file explorer is probably the better choice) and find your Joystick section. It will look something like

[Controller (Device name)]

and find the following lines

yaxismindeadzone=-10
yaxisdeadzone=10
xaxismindeadzone=-10
xaxisdeadzone=10

and increase the values as desired. Keep the -'s in place, so for example, yaxismindeadzone=-20 + yaxisdeadzone=20 sets a larger deadzone for the yaxis.

Repeat for all axes you want to change, save the file and start VO to test your new settings.

Another note is do not try to edit this file when VO is running or your changes will have no effect and will be over written when the game exits.
