Add good controller support .

[tardy nexus]

You can use the Steam controller implementation. Other have used it, and had no issues.

There are some good controller pre mapped blueprints but they should be treated as a starting point when I created mine I had to modify it extensively to what I wanted and needed

[gleaming crypt]

I mean theres still more upvotes

[past drum]

Im sorry but currently this is not viable, small dev team that have enough on their plate, diverting to add controller support will delay an already crucial update

[torn herald]

Nope
Theres more clown emote instead lol

Plus using steam input gives more more access than what binding in game usually does

[terse fern]

this does not work for Vehicles tho, and could still use improvement

[torn herald]

?
worked on the deck for me
able to send me your controller config?

[terse fern]

Do you have a separate action layer or what? I dont wanna have to set up multiple controller configs when the game should have it built in

[torn herald]

nope
just bound my keys to the mnk buttons

just reminds me of playing midnight club 3 using analog sticks

[terse fern]

mnk?

[torn herald]

mouse and keyboard

so my A is space
X is R
etc etc

depending on your controller and preferences
i can make you a config if you want

also jesus christ eng

[terse fern]

can you link it? I have my X set to F, but I have my controls mapped BATTLEFIELD 4 Style

[torn herald]

id be making one from scratch for you
or copy my steam deck layout

which that has back buttons so
i use some things on there that you might not be able to on a regular xbox/PS controller

[terse fern]

I have a steamdeck but I mostly use PS5 controllers, with it being docked

[torn herald]

ah perfect
i got a spare PS5 controller

ill see what i can do once i find it

[terse fern]

honestly, much appreciated

[torn herald]

np
ill have to get the layout of BF4 and see what i can build up off that

[feral radish]

Agree

[sleek wasp]

Tbh, having base controller support would be good

It would force oki to actually OPTIMIZE the key binds a bit

And it's a wonderful accessibility feature. Adding gyro support is huge

Arguing against this is insane imo, we all know steam controller binding is an ass process

[terse fern]

True, I have Gyro activate whenever the L2 trigger is pulled on my controller

great for precision

[sleek wasp]

Actual gyro support would be good as well so you don't have to set up jank mouse gyro inputs

Gyro is literally the future of controller aiming. Flickstick will be what all the pros are using eventually I'm sure

[torn herald]

Issue is
Normal controllers don’t have enough buttons for all the keys
Steamdeck barely has enough due to the back buttons (which on other controllers the back buttons don’t count as any mouse input only controller side like the Xbox elite controller or scuf’s)

[sleek wasp]

see, that's a game design issue imo in this case

I've made a post about optmizing the keys a bit, Oki could totally do it

crouch and prone could be on the same key, the dpad could be used to select equipment and open up a little wheel for checking ammo, fire mode swaping, loading mags, etc

clicking right stick in could free look

or ping

there's plenty of room for the implementations man, they just need to be done intelligently.

[torn herald]

i mean
its not really a game design issue
like if you look at arma 3
its clearly made for PC

now if the game was made for console or fully supported controller then id understand completely

tho there are alot of stupid keybinds that need to be ironed out
or need to not be hardcoded anymore (little bird looking around/gun spin)

another issue is also on the end of controllers (razer, xbox elite, scuf and others that support back buttons)
you cant bind the back buttons like you can with the deck (some others you may but xbox elite nope)
you can only bind them as the face buttons usually limited to just the controller
so if i used bottom left paddle it would just play as an A keybind like i hit it on face button A
