Gamepad/controller support

Post by PureTryOut »

Couldn't find anything about this by extensive search, but please link me to it if it have been suggested before.

It might not be really logical for a game like this, but I would really like to see gamepad/controller support added.
Lately I've been looking into getting that "couch" experience with my PC, and Steam Big Picture has helped big time with that. OpenTTD however, has no way of working with a controller, except using external tools like Xpadder, or using the Steam controller. However, I would love to use my regular Dualshock 3 controller.

Has anyone looked into this before?
I think the GUI would need to be changed around when a controller is detected, and it should probably be better readable so you can sit further away from the screen, but it might be a really cool experience.

Yes I know I could just use the Steam controller (as I own one), but I much rather use a native controller interface then emulate a mouse and keyboard.

I use wii remote.
I installed wminput on my ubuntu, and then have fun with playing with that.
Maybe you could install the driver program.
