Bind request XBOX controller

Hi there

I've been reading the bind sticky and the XBOX controller sticky and found a few fun and practical binds for my playstyle.

There is however a bind I can't figure out.
How to bind the device tray.

I would very much like to be able to bind devices to my controller.
For now my workaround is using a macro on my keyboard (G15 gaming keyboard).

This is working, but I actually have to move my arm about 30cm (Oh the horror :eek:) to reach the keyboard and then back to my controller. This burns up energy I need for playing the game and it confuses me.
Keyboard has to many darn.. ehm... keys.


So this is basicly a cry for help from a lazy XBOX gamer who's sad the game didn't make it to XBOX and is trying to play the game on a gloryfied calculator.

    Devices are bound on the controller by default. Hold right on the d-pad and press the face buttons and right bumper for the 5 device slots.

    X= slot 1
    Y = slot 2
    B = slot 3
    A = slot 4
    RB = slot 5

    To better visualize what your Xbox 360 game controller does when you hold triggers and D-Pad direction, type

    /gamepadtray 1

    Your action bar will change for as long as you are logged in and will visually change to reflect what you are pressing on your controller. that should get you some practice in using devices.

    So far so good and thanks again guys.

    One question though.
    Is it possible to have both gamepadtray and powertray up at the same time?

    No.

    Also, be careful when activating devices, as it is easy to accidentally change your build, on the Dpad while using devices.

    Needs to be a way to un-map build chance functions from the controller, or remap them.

    You can unbind stuff.

    Let's say I don't like what happens when I press the left bumber and the x button. To unbind them, type:

    /unbind lb+xb

    I can give you the correct nomenclatures if you let me know which button combinations you want to unbind.
