Controller Input Support

[Xech]

Edit: Added a community controller layout for the Steam Deck, "Haven and Hearth - Steam Deck 1.0". Intended for default mappings on the Ender client with "bad" camera. Try it, hate it, and fix it, but I think it's dandy for basic choring. Wouldn't trust it for combat just yet, but camera on the right stick works surprisingly well!

Having seen other popular Java games with controller input, and how other games with similar perspectives accomplish smooth gameplay, I wanted to bump the love for the old twin sticks.

Even if response time isn't instant due to limitations of the input system (evident from the 9-page result when searching "controller"), I think it'd still be quite playable and worth it. The nested icons in the lower-right corner, along with radial flyout context menus, both strongly lean into controller vibes already.

The attached image was mostly in the spirit of possibility - H&H performs great, but it's nigh unplayable on the Steam Deck given the givens.

Thanks!

What java version did you use to get it running?
I only tried 5 minutes and got bored because of the strange errors it would throw at me lol.

This is using OpenJDK 17. There are a few considerations to account for with the Steam Deck specifically, such as writeability, package management tokens, and pacman.

It would take a *TON* of work, but I feel if project zomboid can do gamepad, it's well within Hafen's limitations.

I certainly wouldn't ever use it unless, of course, i found myself with a steam deck

Ah.. I don't wanted to to the whole pacman route.
Do you know why it doesn't work plug and play like on windows? Maybe the archbuild of steamos? It's kinda annoying...

Healed. New ones earned. Also, added a layout for the Steam Deck that seems to work decently well! Updated the main post.

Cant find your layout, did you call the whole game like this in your library?

btw, the very very simple way to get it running on steam deck:
just install Lutris from the steam deck app store and then get haven from here: https://lutris.net/games/haven-hearth/. done.
If you're lazy as I am, tell it to create a desktop shortcut, which you then can add as a 3rd party app through steam (add it using the steam shortcut from the desktop). when thats done you can simply launch it from the gaming mode.
