Trying to get the Chaos Legion workaround to cooperate with my custom mapper settings

[ViperAcidZX]

Carrying over the conversation from the issue thread, for some reason the workaround to get Gamepad 2 configuration not appearing for Chaos Legion prevents my custom mapper bindings from working with the workaround. I have my Xidi configuration in the attachment of this post to see what could be the issue with my configuration that is preventing the workaround for Gamepad 2 not appearing from messing up my bindings. I had initially made this for v4.1.1 of Xidi.

For convenience, here is the contents of the config file.

[Mapper]

[CustomMapper:ChaosLegion]

; Jump / Confirm / Skip FMV
ButtonA             = Button(3)

; Move Player (Digital)

; This change to the POV hat makes it match with the PlayStation 2 version's controls.

DpadDown            = Axis(Y, +)
DpadLeft            = Axis(X, -)
DpadRight           = Axis(X, +)

; Move Player

; Camera Control
StickRightX         = Axis(Z)
StickRightY         = Axis(RotZ)

This game is challenging to get working the way you want because it has implementation quirks. Here is what I've learned so far:

• "Gamepad 2" is only selectable if the controller has a POV hat. The POV hat maps to camera control.
• In "Gamepad 2" mode the game will read horizontal camera rotation from the Z axis even if the controller doesn't actually have a Z axis (in this case the camera will just spin endlessly to the right).
• When using the right stick for camera control, vertical camera rotation is analog but horizontal camera movement is digital,

What you can try doing is giving the virtual controller a POV hat that does nothing. One way of doing that is to change your "not used" LS button:

; Not used
; We need to add a POV hat that does nothing so that "Gamepad 2" can be selected.
; Adding both directions at the same time means that there is never any actual POV input.
ButtonLS            = Compound( Button(11), Pov(Left), Pov(Right) )
ButtonRS            = Button(12)

Another thing: since you provided an element mapper for every controller component you don't need a template. You can get rid of this:

Template		    = ExtendedGamepad

I tried the suggestions you made and it helped out, thank you!
