Always make a back up of the original mod and or XML before you go changing the code

Open the mod Zip file and locate the corresponding XML file.

In the case of the Liebherr 900, there are 2 excavators so you will have to change both XML files

Liebherr.xml appears to be the wheeled version and Liebherrc.xml the tracked

Copy the XML files to the desktop or preferred location

Rick click, open with and you can either use Notepad or Notepad++

Find the tag labeled “Moving Tools”

Now you will need to replace the Font loader controls with Crane controls

I'm using a previously set up mod as reference and to copy and paste

This set up is for dual joysticks with ISO excavator controls

Left hand left = Swing left.
Left hand right = Swing right.
left hand forward = Stick Boom (Dipper) away.
Left hand back = Stick Boom (Dipper) close.
Right hand left = Bucket curl in (closed)
Right hand right = Bucket curl out (dump)
Right hand forward = Main Boom down.
Right hand back = Main Boom up.

Replace “AXIS_FRONTLOADER_TOOL” with “AXIS_CRANE_ARM”, invertAxis="true”

Replace “AXIS_FRONTLOADER_ARM” with “AXIS_CRANE_ARM2”, invertAxis="true”

Replace “AXIS_FRONTLOADER_ARM2 with “AXIS_CRANE_ARM3”, invertAxis="true”

Replace “AXIS_FRONTLOADER_TOOL2” with “AXIS_CRANE_ARM4”, invertAxis="true”

AXIS_FRONTLOADER_TOOL2 refers to the bucket attachments

For the CAT 289C and other excavators I use, “AXIS_CRANE_ARM4” Invert Axis is set to “false”

But for the Liebherr 900 this should be set to “true”

This has worked for the excavators that I have used, but it may not be the case for all

Also this only changes the controls for the main function, not addition functions for tools such as grabbers and claws

Now copy and replace the XML within the mod ZIP and you're done.

Always make a back up of the original mod and or XML before you go changing the code
