I'm confused, because you clearly but a lot of work and love into this mod. I don't understand how it wouldn't be possible to use it with a gamepad, which I'm sure loads of people do, but it seems like the GUI is only workable with a mouse and every time I exit Play mode to enable Gamepad controls all mods unload.
have you tried "pick up weapon"? I tried making a basic setup for controllers, but it's really hard with the limited input control NTT has, especially with controllers (I can't stop inputs from interacting with the menu)
(there's also a chance that that only works on my version, in which case I'll post an update)
EDIT: I was right, I only implemented it on my side. I'll upload my version now.
I don't have any way to let controllers access the buttons on the side, unfortunately, but if you get an idea for a control scheme to let that happen I'm all ears.
