Is controller support coming?

i might have found the first hard conflict to this mod (but only applies to guns, from what i can tell with testing) - "hang on walls" mod uses numpad 1,2,3 to move between specific z positions to hang some items on the walls

imo this mod is a better option than hang on walls, since there are fewer restrictions and finer movement

10/10 take an award

Almost perfect mod

The mod works well, but has one massive problem:
If you place an item with the height changed, and then do any other action, when you try to either place or pick up anything near that item, it's height resets completely.

Example: you use the height modification to stack 10 duffel bags all on top of eachother. Then, you eat. When you come back, you place another duffel bag on top of the pile - the entire pile's height is reset, and all the duffel bags are now on the floor, clipping through one another

good mod, also y rotation is a good idea.

Adjusting height is a mistake, in my opinon, objects stay on to of existing things and adjusting the height woudl make them float or clip. What is missing is a Y rotation.

@I Am T'okyo Senriren Works fine at my end. Your load order must be off

This my top 3 mods . 11/10

I mean it's fine, I can just place it back again. But it becomes tiring after a while.
Walter 17 Jun, 2023 @ 5:49pm 
So every time I pick up a placed item, the placements of other items get reset. Is it possible to fix it? Kinda ruins the immersion because you can stack for example canned foods or tires and when you pick one of the items, the placements reset and now it is back to being no-clipping with each other again.

The mod works fine. You more than likely have a corrupt workshop manifest in your server.
Delete your .acf file.

Mod works well when Hosting an MP Server for Coop. But having a dedicated one seems to cause issues. Server can simply not start up with it unfortunately.

hopeful that when depth buffer is implemented in b42, it works properly with this allowing true control on things like shelving units so we're able to finally actually use them as shelves.

The mod works perfectly with every steam compatible controller, atleast for placing items accurately, no clue if you can move items up or down as i'm incompetent but the mod does translate the binds fine for moving stuff on-tiles

It's Y/Triangle and the left stick/ directional pad to control the x/z level of an object, works fine and solves every placement issue I had with vanilla

Excited for potential controller support, I play PZ a lot on steam deck

Tragic. Still awesome mod none the less. I've been waiting for this kind of decorational stuff for so long. I do hope better rotation also makes itself available sometime in the future.

Unfortunately only translational positional data (x, y, z) is available for world inventory items, The transformation (yaw, pitch, roll) matrices are hidden away in the java code and not accessible from Lua as far as I can tell.
NalMac 20 Mar, 2023 @ 1:58pm 
any chance you might also add the ability to rotate the other axis' as well? If so this mod would be perfect.

@Wyr agreed

A picture or two would probably help, but looks like a very useful mod for decoration

There's currently no support for gamepad/controller only support. It's on my todo list though I need to look at how controller support/binds are managed.

@JENOVA Absolute
Wasn't aware of that mod but a quick glance indicates it has the same 'bug', it's just due to the game repositioning objects on altered tiles outside of Lua's control. It's not really a major issue though. You can change the keybinds through the regular keybind menu, as indicated. It's just away at the bottom of the list.
MeowXeno 15 Mar, 2023 @ 6:01am 
Going to test this tomorrow in MP, will also test controller support.

The bug where items get repositioned when messing other objects happened with Yu-ti-JP's Hang on the Wall mod as well, but he found a fix. You could ask him for help in fixing that issue with your mod.

I prefer to use your mod over theirs as his mod only allows three set height positions. Meanwhile, your mod allows more precise fine tuning of where you want to place items.

Also, as a suggestion, you could add an option for people to choose their own keybinds.
