I remember playing Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb on Xbox and really enjoying it but sold that console long ago so I was really glad to see it here for PC on GOG. Question: Does the game have any controller support? I like playing games like this using my Xbox 360 controller. It's worked on most of the older games I've tried but I wanted to know if anyone can confirm if it works with Emperor's Tomb before I purchase the game. Playing it with a mouse and keyboard just wouldn't be the same. Thanks!

Just to bring this to your attention, in case you hadn't seen it, someone posted a guide to programming the game to work with a 360 controller like it did on the original X-Box.

Thanks! I hadn't seen that post yet. :)

I got the game today and I've been trying to fix it up myself. I've almost got it done. The bad thing about it though, is that I have no idea what IDs the L2, R2 and DPad have.

I fixed the broken camera on the Right Stick, which was pretty annoying.

If anyone wants to play around with this, I've put up my progress for today. I tried making the controls the least awkward as possible, but without the DPad and the missing bottom triggers it's going to be a bit annoying.

I am also updating the UI strings.

I made the bindings file a bit more readable.

Setbind is the main default key, then addbind can be used to assign the same function to other keys, more or less, I'm a bit sleepy now.

I found this thread while trying to get the Windows version of Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb (IJET) as close as possible to full gamepad compatibility/support without using external software like Xpadder, Controller Companion, Joy2Key, Pinnacle Game Profiler, etc.

I took SumoX's great work here as a starting point, as well as the original button layout for both the Xbox and PS2 editions of the game. I also applied Herro_kitty's use of AXIS_Z for the LT and RT triggers, which left us with 2 less buttons to bind externally.

All that remained was the pesky D-Pad that IJET refuses to acknowledge. Then it hit me: do we really need it at all? The game only uses it to access Indy's Inventory, so I moved that to other buttons. I believe my proposed binding solution results in a confortable controller layout for both new and experienced players of this game. This has been tested with an Xbox 360 gamepad in both the CD and GOG versions of the game.

Just like SumoX's version, you need to open the binds.cfg file with a text editor such as Notepad. It's located in the GameData\indy folder inside your Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb\GameData\indy - C:\GOG Games\Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb\GameData\indy or wherever you installed it).

Once you open binds.cfg, scroll down until you find the second set of bindings which begin with setbind 1. Delete all setbind 1 and addbind 1 entries in the file, then copy the following code, paste it where the one you erased was, save and close the file.

The resulting control scheme inside the game will be as follows

Left Thumbstick: Move Indy/Navigate Menus
Right Thumbstick: Camera View/Climb Rope
A: Primary Attack/Menu Select
B: Jump/Menu Back
X: Secondary Attack/Menu Delete
Y: Action/Use/Interact/Pull Out Appropriate Tool (Context Sensitive)
LB: Look Mode/Camera Reset/Roll/Wall Peek Left
RB: Guard Mode/Focus on Enemy/Wall Peek Right
LT: Inventory Select/Draw or Holster Weapon/Last Item Used
RT: Reload Ammo
Select: Cycle Inventory
Start: Pause/Menu
D-Pad: Null

I'm also modifying the Tips.txt file inside GameData\indy\gameinfo so that the game's popup tutorial tips show the buttons like the Xbox version instead of keyboard commands I will post it when I finish testing it.

As a way to reward my efforts, I would appreciate anybody who can show me how I can edit items on the Main Menu. I'd like to change the "Press Enter" phrase there so it reads "Press Enter", as well as modify the Gamesave instructions in the Load Game screen.

how does the vine/rope swinging/climbing work with this?

with xpadder'd d-pad it can be used to climb up and down, swinging on left stick...

never played the console versions...

(if there is interest in IJET in Widescreen, take a look at my posts in those threads...)

Can you repost the controller fix? The link seems to be broken.

For some reason I'm getting a 404 error page even with the new links. :/

EDIT: Ah, apparently I had to register on that site's forum.. but the site is in Russian, and registering was difficult..

Hey everyone. Just to let others know in case it comes in handy later, that I used the Controller Companion from Steam, as mentioned earlier on this feed. For the most part it works and for now is acceptable.

videos and loading screens are pretty small(not scaled) with a 1080 resolution
but playing them with VLC they are full screen

***EDIT***
Ahh... found out with rad tools I can batch convert them to a higher resolution...gonna do a test on e of the first ones to see if it plays

**EDIT AGAIN**
CONFIRMED!! Resized videos work fine.. they are naturally a bit larger size so take up more space(2mb becomes 13mb for example)
upscaled logo

***EDIT #3***
Confirmed everything working well, controller all buttons, widescreen and now videos are full screen...only issue I have is the up down on the right stick (mouse look) is backwards for my taste.. up should look up not look down!
I have all the videos converted for 1080 in a rar (422mb) if there is interest I can upload it to dropbox


***edit #4***
hehe found the setting in the xinput cfg file... set invert y for hte left stick to true and all is good!

how hard is it to change the layout?...I have the orginal xbox layout from the pdf manual... it's not a lot different but things like the l/r b and l/r trigger functions are reversed from this setup.....l/r trig functions on this mapped to the black/white buttons on xbox walk/run was of course all analog stick,which probably can't be worked out form the PC version since it was just reliant on an analog threshold to switch to run... gonna play around see what I get


**edit**
turns out you don't even need the run toggle.. he runs or walks depending on analog stick position ..swapped some things around to make it more like the original xbox controls...still trying to figure out what some things are called in the binding versus in the manual..lol
