Just a Q bout controller support for disabled players

spookyghostling

Tried doing a search but all I see are responses from X n Y persons opinion spouting stuff bout you can't bind 30+ buttons etc. (no shit) but there are folks like myself who got one functioning arm who jus like being resource goblins for their team n being apart of a community. Damn well know I can't do anything competitive, I got no reflex speed. Jus curious, cus it gets tiring looking at a wall all day waiting for the rare game I can f'n play that has customizable controls. Played every MMO from UO to Black Desert until arm went kaput. Using 3rd party controller config things like joy2key can be a right pain in the ass. I had a decent config on KoTR n WoW with controller n footknobs for movement but the damn effort to get it to kinda work took ages to figure out, even then it wasn't optimal cus had to use 3rd party stuff such as getting movement designated to certain joystick etc.

I get this stuff is niche n a programming headache, but payin 100 bucks to find out, well, can't afford that

Short version is that for someone in your physical situation... yeah we got nothin'.

Joy2Key can get you fairly far but death will come swiftly in a lot of cases.

They mentioned considering it, so check back later.

Hi, you can play it with a controller. Just add it to steam as "Non-Steam Game", and there you can create configurations. Currently i play with Action Cam on, and it works seamlessly. But with switch target, etc. it could also work with tab targeting. I play Ultima Online and GW2 with a PS5 controller, as well. You want to go with WASD Keyboard configuration, basically left stick WASD, right stick joystick mouse and Triggers mouse click. Look for action layers, you could for example hold L2 and buttons can behave differently, or implement a similar concept to attunements in GW2 where you can switch between set of controls seamlessly, 20+ buttons are no problem with a controller.

It's likely coming, just later on.
