Hello everybody!
First off, I'd like to ask about this:
This is pretty confusing and inconvenient.
Okay ~ back to the topic~
I'd love to ask/request for a Multiple Controllers Support possibility.
As much as RM's limits 'irk' me, I can ignore them and try to find workarounds, but one thing I'd love to have is the possibility to play a game with two controllers.
By default, RM can use only ONE controller and it does not detect more than that. That's understandable, since the input system was designed to support only few silly input keys, that are used for both, keyboard and a pad.
Since playing a multiplayer game with one keyboard is annoying (due to keys blocking each other ~ I have no idea why it works like this (Yes, I know it's not related to RM ~ and that's better, because you'll know what I mean)) ~ using controllers would be great for few reasons:
- Keys would not block each other
- More convenient gameplay (simple key bindings ~rather than random complex configurations on keyboard)
- Better experience (as for platformer game)
I'm using CP Keyboard Input script if that's important ~ the best solution would be letting me to set which keys from that input system would be triggered when pressing certain buttons on pad. Like pressing 'left' button on pad would simulate :kA key, for example. Or anything else would be appreciated.
I'd be REALLY HAPPY if that would be possible, so I'd heavily appreciate help.
In my opinion, the developers of the software should do something with this and few other things as well, but yeah... Which developer actually cares about their software ~ I guess.
This is really important for me. =3
Thank you!
Questions, that probably would be asked
1. Why do you need two controllers in RPG Maker? LOL
2. Non-RPG in RPG Maker? What are you doing there?
3. You can always use keyboard for one player and a controller for the second one, that way the keys wouldn't be blocking each other, no?
4. There is a software, that lets you simulate pressing keyboard keys with controllers, can't you just use that?
First off, I'd like to ask about this:
These sections don't exist (unless they're well hidden) ~ so is this section proper for this kind of requests?

That's because I'm an idiot and I'm making non-RPG's in RPG Maker. I'm doing SCIENCE, so bear with me.
Besides this, I'm making an RPG and guess what? It also supports local multiplayer. (both players walking on a map and battling together on shared screen)

That's true, but playing that kind of game with controllers gives better experience ~ I'll be playing that game with my brother and I want to sit back with him and play the game 'legitimately'.
4. There is a software, that lets you simulate pressing keyboard keys with controllers, can't you just use that?
I was using a software like this, but it wasn't free. It had (if I'm not mistaking) 30 days trial though, sooooooooooo it will not work for longer period of time. Besides, forcing players to install 3rd party crap is what I HATE. When I didn't own RM and tried to play an RM game where it asked me to look up for RTP, I was annoyed. I just wanted to play one single game, not to install random stuff on my PC. That's the stupidest thing, that any developer can do. I've installed a program once, that installed more than 10 programs in total (libraries and such) and guess what? I was uninstalling that garbage for about an hour and to this day, there are leftovers deep inside my PC, that I can't delete for some stupid reason. I didn't ask for this.
However, using that kind of a software wasn't that bad, so if you know a free and simple software, that would allow me to achieve this, then I could take a look, so at least, it would be a temporary workaround.
