How to change macro palette with gamepad?

[cheyrn]

I didn't configure the menu controls, that was the problem.

This is the procedure, I think:

Find out what number each button has. In windows 7 with my controller, the button numbers are displayed where you can calibrate the controller, in devices and printers.

Run FFXI config and select gamepad. Which pre-defined configuration works with the controller depends on the controller. Camera and Menu are not configured with the presets. So, configure Movement, Camera and Menu then test.

With one gamepad, the Joysticks worked in the game upside down compared to config, i.e. forward was back and back was forward, left and right were left and right though.

I chose to unconfigure "logout" and "screenshot", since I don't want to suddenly logout while something is about to kill me and I don't want to keep randomly creating screenshots by accident.
