I'm fairly certain that this has been suggested a few times before, but I couldn't find any threads on it (apparently I'm bad at googling things :P)

I'd like to be able to save multiple profiles for controller maps, so that I can have different set ups for different things. For example, I could have a map for my LD controls and one for my PvE controls. The biggest reason I would like this to be added is that buttons are mapped differently for Xbox 360 an PS3 controllers. For personal reason, I am forced to switch between them a lot and have to go through the lengthly process of re-mapping all of my controls.

Yea, I know this seems like a selfish reason to suggest something, but I still think it would be a good thing to add.

gods ain't gonna help you, son.

I don't see anything wrong with this, +1.
you can also find the control mapper data file and go for backups. but that would sort of go against the ToS.

That's very informative Hex, but I play on a Mac. It's the reason I haven't quit SK already, since I can't play any other MMOs...

You'll have to find your own way from there.

I have a different layout configuration when I go gunner.

Will that work Hex?

As long as you don't mind rebooting the game every time you want to change your settings. (actually, I'm not sure if settings are ever reloaded ingame, perhaps when you enter a loading screen, idk)

I searched up 'regedit' in my Finder window and found about 12 .exe files, non of which are in the SK directory (they are all in my wine/prefixes folder for other windows programs I've downloaded and installed using wine). Am I searching under the wrong file name, or is the file just not present for Mac based applications?

While windows has a single registry for every program that's loaded on boot, (which is why windows computers get slower and slower the more programs you've installed) Mac computers have a program-based registry, each of which is only opened when the associated program is. You can find these registry files for each program in the locations I mentioned in my above comment. I don't have a mac so unfortunately I cannot guide you step-by-step. I am not even sure if mac supports registry file editing or backups.
