Hi guys this is my blog's first tutorial so please don't mind in case of some mistake. This post is all about playing FIFA 13 multiplayer in same PC. Well we all know that FIFA 13 and 14 are similar but their controls are little different. You may have seen this kind of multiplayer tutorial in many other sites but it is not so easy.
We PC player are not so much practical to joysticks because we use keyboard as our main controller but in sports game joystick is very important because this type of sports game are mainly made for console gamers. But PC gamers covers major portion of this game's field. Playing 2 players with friend is very very good things and there is a lot of fun. Trust me. But before proceeding I want to make few things clear:
1. You cannot bind same keys for two keyboard.
This is a very very big disappointment for major people who are playing via emulating keyboard as joystick.
Windows share some file of as many keyboard as you plug in. So, if you put 4 keyboard of different port i.e
PS/2 or USB and switch the caps lock of keyboard 1 then all other keyboard will have the caps lock on.
So, in game if you have same key binded then you will control both teams. :( . Sorry guys so you cannot play with the controls you may play normally which covers major portion of the keyboard.
2.You cannot emulate more than one keyboard.
Actually you can do it but your keyboard will be very crowded as you cannot bind same keys for two different teams or controls.
OK guys ready for the main part. We will now be emulating the keyboard as the joystick. There are some very good software that will allow to map the keyboard key as joystick buttons but believe me mapping is very very hard. PPjoy and VJoy are two software that I have recently used to emulate keyboard as joystick. So, today I will be using another program called Xbox360kb. PPJoy and Vjoy have some advantages like you dont need to restart the game to change the control but this program should be opened before running the game and should keep running in the background. But Xbox360kb dont need to be run again and again but after changing the controls the game needs to be restartd to see the effect. Xbox360kb also gives the test program to see the mapping.
Download Xbox360kb from here. Mediafire link.
or click here to download the files I have used below. 4shared link.
Lets start the tutorial
1. Download Xbox360kb and extract the file in a folder using and decompresser. For eg: extract in desktop
2. Copy all the extracted files in the "Game" folder of FIFA 13's directiory.( You can do it at last after finishing the configuiration). Copying readme is not needed)
3. Open the x360kb.ini and understand the 1st part of configuration from the following:
[Options]=managing the various feature of the program:
UseInitBeep= 0 or 1(if value=1 while the mapped key is pressed beep is played and 0 means off)
Log= 1 or 0 (for on/off the debugging process. It is optional)
BackgroundMode= 1 or 0 (for allowing the background process to keyboard)
PadCount=1 to 4 ( the no. of joystick to be installed. 4 maximum.)
3. 2nd part of configuration i.e. mapping:
Y = through ball
X= loob, long pass, header, cross
B= shoot, standing tackle
D pad= not player movement but the skill buttons and also menu control
Left Analog(up,down,left,right)= player direction
Right Analog(up,down,left,right)= quick tactics and mentality
Right Trigger(rt)= sprint
Left Trigger (lt)= pace control and skill move modifier
Left Thumb (lb)= chip shot, player run
Right Thumb (rb)= finess shot modifier
OK guys I have told you the function of the different mapping items and their role or control in the game. Now you can use your own. For adding 2nd controller change PadCount=2 and then add [PAD2] like [PAD1] just below the end of 1st mapping and start mapping as 1st mapping. As I said the test program. This program is very useful as you can see the virtual joystick's physical action virtually. Give it a try. Open "XInputTest.exe" and try mapped keys. You can also select which joystick you want to test.
This whole setting are according to Logitech F510 Type so please chage the Buttons Icons to this in fifaconfig.exe so that you will not be confused.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING MY TUTORIAL. IF YOU GET ANY PROBLEM OR IF YOU ARE HAVING DIFFICULTIES THEN PLEASE DO COMMENT.
