So it turns out that this plugin sucks and probably straight up crashes, so I'll probably roll out an update in the next few days. Will also probably massively help with lag caused by this plugin when you don't have a controller plugged in (or soon after startup)
I'll also try to improve compatibility, but it'll probably not be very compatible with other plugins
But hey menu navigation is also in the works

Update 2.0: The Overhaul
This update brings new features along with huge optimisations, for a complete and fun experience

Changelog
-Complete menu navigation, use the left stick to move the cursor and X to click
-Menu navigation also when choosing a class or a team. support incoming
-Lobby menu navigation. Although being a very new feature it hasn't been tested as thoroughly as other features
-Now you need to press Numpad 0 to activate the plugin. Sadly it's necessary to avoid extreme slowdown on startup
-Testing shows that you're more likely to lag if you connect your gamepad after opening GG2
-Holding the square button now shows the scoreboard
-The select button now opens the change class menu
-The start button now opens the change team menu
-Pressing both start and select at the same time opens the In Game Menu
-Support for a 2nd controller slot. If you have 2 controllers plugged in at the same time priority will go to the first
-Quote and Sniper now handle differently from other classes, allowing full control
-Optimisations:
  -Overhauled and split code in more objects, so situational code only runs when it needs to
  -If the controller is disconnected mid-game you're much less likely to lag
  -Optimised bubble code for improved readability and very small gains in performance
  -Cleaned up code and modified comments for improved readability

Some data:
-This version has 32% more lines of code than the last one
-It's been 116 days since the last version
-This project has been the inspiration for the Context-based X3 button, hopefully implemented in the game this year


As always, please report any bugs you encounter

(click to show/hide)

-Quote support in class selection screen
-Easier 1 button Fireblast for Pyro
-Confirmation when the plugin is launched
-Customizable deadzone from ini
-Customizable controls from ini
-Custom bubble menus for more choices

Nice plugin, I haven't tried it yet but do you think it would be possible to play splitscreen if one were to play with mouse + keyboard and the other with controller with two gang garrison clients? (One which has the plugin and the other doesn't)

Sadly almost certainly not, as both clients would aim in the same direction, based on the mouse position. I'm pretty sure you could move both characters independently, but that's about it

So, I tried to use this plugin and none of the buttons work. I installed the plugin in the "Plugins" folder, so I don't know why the plugin isn't working

facepalm for me, sorry

(The worst thing is that I read everything but I overlooked this '-')

Don't worry, it is quite unintuitive but also needed, Game Maker 8 does not like handling controllers without almost fainting every second

Plugin Feedback:

Well, it doesn't work with my PS2 Controller, when I activate the plugin my mouse keeps going upper-left and my character going to the left forever .

I tried to use a program that makes the Smartphone send Xinput buttons to your PC. And It worked, but the buttons are broken, its not the same as the layout that you show in the image. (Seriously, I can aim up pressing RT button and the fast chat doesn't work... I could only aim left and right) .

Not even using the X360ce program fixed the solution... but, hey: its just a test. Its still better to play with a keyboard and mouse, anyways...

This plugin is made to take input from any gamepad still using the (old) DirectInput api because of Game Maker 8's limitations. It was tested with a ps3 controller recognised by the SCP DS3 unofficial driver, it should work fine with a 360 controller and even stuff like a flight joystick or a steering wheel (useful, I know)
-Is the PS2 controller stuck in the upper left only until you move the right/left analog stick?
-Which app are you using?
-Server-sent plugins like chat are not supported

Im using a generic PS2 controller, and when I activate the plugin I don't press anything and the character keeps going left. And I use the Monect PC Remote to test the XInput Controller with the plugin

(old) DirectInput api

XInput Controller

Here's your problem. Monect should also have a Windows XP version, so I'd also guess they use DirectInput there
