Is there a way to get a controller to work with blockland?

[NalNalas]

I have a PS3 controller and got this DS3 tool to emulate the use of a Xbox controller and I would like to know how I could hook it up to work for blockland or if it would work. I don't want to use xpadder because its really unreliable in my opinion. Is there any way?

the thing is about these programs were you map controls is a lot of them aren't good with dualshock because when you pull forwards slightly, it sends you at full speed

this isn't necessarily the programs.

games meant to be played with keyboard+mouse most likely don't have controls designed around anything except off/on because keyboard buttons are generally only off/on. the case is the same for blockland.

I've tried xpadder with tf2 and it gave me that issue

i don't know why i didn't realise it last post, but the point of those programs is to translate certain controller actions to defined key presses/mouse actions/etc.

so this will always happen. if the game in question has gamepad support, you should be fine simply using DS3 tool's xbox controller emulation. the game will recognize it and use it with no problems.

blockland, of course, doesn't have the kind of gamepad support you want. so the answer is "yes, but you won't be happy with it."

Blockland actually does have gamepad/joystick support! It just isn't enabled by default, and you may need to do a little work to get it done.
