Configuring Overgrowth

While Overgrowth does not currently provide a way to adjust settings in game, users may adjust their configuration by modifying their

config.txt file. config.txt is located in the Data folder ((for Mac users) ~/Library/Application Support/Lugaru 2/Data/

Note: if you are using Lion, your library folder is hidden by default... in the finder, click the "Go" menu, then Press Option, and Library will appear in the list

(and for Windows users) My Documents\Wolfire\Overgrowth\Data, NOT Program Files\Wolfire\Overgrowth\Data!). The file is a plain text file that is readable

by any normal text editor (such as TextEdit for Mac or Notepad for Windows).

Since alpha 150, external controller options have been added to the config.txt file. The following guide will help you configure your controller to properly work with Overgrowth.

Note: Currently the guide only targets Windows 7 users.

First, make sure your controller is plugged in to your computer.

Next, open the start menu and click on Control Panel (located on the right side). Once opened, make sure the view is set to Large Icons (switchable in the upper right corner). Select Devices and Printers.

You should see your controller listed under Devices. Right click it, and select Game Controller Settings. The Game Controllers window will appear. Make sure your controller is selected, then click on Properties.

Once again, a new window should appear - make sure that the view is set to the Test tab. In this view, you will be able to determine which physical button is mapped to each virtual button. Play around with your controller to confirm that everything is working properly, and take note of the button mappings.

Now navigate to and open up your config.txt file (as described above). Rearrange the mappings in the file to match your desired controller setup.

Once you have everything modified, save the config.txt file and launch Overgrowth in order to test the new configuration.
