General

Split Screen Co-op

Thanks to SPUF user chameleon8 we can play co-op on one monitor split. These instructions are a recreation of his, for a more detailed guide check out his thread.

  • Step One: Make a new config for your controller, this tutorial implies it is a 360 controller, in your portal2/cfg folder.
cmd2 joy_name "Xbox360 controller"

cmd2 joy_advanced 1
cmd2 joy_advaxisx 3
cmd2 joy_advaxisy 1
cmd2 joy_advaxisz 0
cmd2 joy_advaxisr 2
cmd2 joy_advaxisu 4
cmd2 joy_advaxisv 0

cmd2 joy_forwardsensitivity -1
cmd2 joy_sidesensitivity 1
cmd2 joy_pitchsensitivity 0.75
cmd2 joy_pitchsensitivity_default 0.75
cmd2 joy_yawsensitivity -1.5
cmd2 joy_yawsensitivity_default -1.5
cmd2 joy_autoaimdampenrange 0.85
cmd2 joy_autoaimdampen 0.5
cmd2 joy_lowend 0.75
cmd2 joy_lowmap 0.25
cmd2 joy_no_accel_scale 1
cmd2 joy_accelscale 2.0
cmd2 joy_accelmax 1.0
cmd2 joy_response_move 5
cmd2 joy_response_look 1
cmd2 joyadvancedupdate
cmd2 crosshair 1
cmd2 hud_draw_fixed_reticle 1

cmd2 bind "JOY1" "+jump"			// (A) Button
cmd2 bind "JOY2" "+duck"			// (B) Button
cmd2 bind "JOY3" "+use"				// (X) Button
cmd2 bind "JOY4" "+remote_view"			// (Y) Button
cmd2 bind "JOY5" "+quick_ping"			// Left Bumper
cmd2 bind "JOY6" "+zoom"			// Right Bumper
cmd2 unbind "JOY7" //"+mouse_menu_taunt"	// Back ("select") Button
cmd2 bind "JOY8" "gameui_activate"		// Start Button
cmd2 unbind "JOY9" //"+quick_ping"		// Left Stick In
cmd2 unbind "JOY10" //"+zoom"			// Right Stick In
cmd2 unbind "JOY11"
cmd2 unbind "JOY12"

cmd2 bind "Z AXIS POS" "+attack2"		// Left Trigger
cmd2 bind "Z AXIS NEG" "+attack"		// Right Trigger

cmd2 bind "POV_UP" "+mouse_menu_taunt"		// D-Pad
cmd2 bind "POV_LEFT" "+mouse_menu"		// D-Pad
cmd2 unbind "POV_RIGHT" //"+mouse_menu"		// D-Pad
cmd2 unbind "POV_DOWN" //"+mouse_menu_taunt"	// D-Pad

cmd2 joystick 1
cmd2 sk_autoaim_mode 2
cmd2 +jlook

This is effectively the joy_configuration.cfg file but with cmd2 placed in front of everything. Name this new config something like joy_coop.360.cfg and save in the "common/Portal 2/Portal2/cfg" folder. Customize whatever binds you want to, but keep cmd2 in front of any commands/binds.

  • Step Two: Press 'Play Cooperative on the Portal 2 menu and wait for your friends list to open.
  • Step Three: Plug in your controller and enter this into your console.
ss_map mp_coop_start
  • Step Four: While this loads, unplug your controller, wait a few seconds, then plug it back in. This should switch the player light on the 360 controller to the second slot. Once you have the light on the player 2 slot you can leave the joypad in and it should stay on that slot. If this doesn't work (you probably have a wireless 360 pad) you can give JoyID a go.
  • Step Five: Execute the config we just made in the developer console.
exec joy_coop.360.cfg

You should now be able to control the second slot with your 360 pad and the first should be whatever binds you had on the keyboard/mouse.

To play with two controllers use change the cmd2 joystick 1 line in the config to cmd2 joystick 2
