Joystick/Controller/Gamepad Support

Ok, I play STO with a gamepad because I have issues with my hand. Been playing it that way since forever now... I expected Neverwinter to have the same support 'cause CO and STO have it.

Much to my surprise after a quick forum search and chat on Zone... The Mighty Mighty Dev Team disabled controller support several builds back.

Well.

I cannot play the game with out it and I'm not paying $$$ for a third-party solution.

For the record, I am aware of the sticky threads on how to set keybinds to a controller, but they require you to "enable controller/joystick" in the options menu. There is no option to do so.


Can't play until this is re-enabled. Sorry Dev Team! Game looks great from what little I saw... too bad I can't play.

    I'd love to play this kind of game with a joystick too, it would feel almost like Tera I think. a shame you can't play though =/

    For me it's a slap in the face. I'm not exactly disabled but I can't manage the level of coordination required to run a strictly keyboard game... it's really not fair that I have to sit this out because someone decided to disable a feature.

    I'd like to hear from the Dev Team as to why they chose to disable this feature and if we can ever expect to see it back. Until then, I can't play.

    I agree with this thread. I actually broke down and used Xpadder with my logitech dual action to map the most used commands to the controller.

    Here's what I did:

    Left stick: W/forward , left/right cam, S/back
    Right stick: cam up/down, move L/R

    I don't move left or right because I up the cam look speed enough that I can move with the left stick.

    Buttons:
    1 = Jump (Xb on the 360)
    2 = Q (Ab on 360)
    3 = Left Mouse Button (Bb on 360)
    4 = Right mouse button (Yb on 360)
    Right trigger = Shift
    Left Trigger = Tab
    Left shoulder = E
    Right shoulder = R
    Start = F
    Select = Esc

    Left stick button = 1
    Right stick button = 2

    D-pad up = 3
    D-pad left = 4
    D-pad right = 5
    D-pad down = 6

    While I hope they put native support back in. I'll settle for this until then because I don't have the coordination to move both mouse and press keys without looking at the keyboard.

    I actually got it for free by clicking on a link here in our forums... if you scroll down in the thread about setting up a 360 controller for NWO another user posted a link to his own 360 controller setup that uses xpadder he included a free copy of xpadder in the download. I used that as a starting point for my setup, but modified to fit the dual action's different button layout. http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?51581-gt-Microsoft-XBOX-Controller-for-Windows-Configuation-lt&p=1120531&viewfull=1#post1120531 is the location of the post in question.

    You can get xpadder for free? I might take another look then. Last I knew it was crippleware that required a fee to make work properly

    That would be Great, if they would have implemented it. I know a few people that play MMO's that struggle with their hands for Various reasons. I think more MMO's should try to at least have some functions available from the launch.

    Followed the link installed/set up Xpadder, still nothing.

    I'm putting this game on standby until native support is restored.

    I'd also really appreciate controller support because I am planning on buying a Nvidia Shield Game console when it comes out near the end of Q2. This console allows you to play your PC games on the go, but the games have to have native controller support (can't use something like Xpadder in the background). I'd really love to be able to carry Neverwinter with me in my pocket :)

    just started playing yesterday, that setup does me fine with my 360 pad, thanks chuckwolf

    The last line should be a continuation of the previous line or you get an error... Thanks for the script. Much appreciated.
