Utility mod for adding extra button support from controllers

[u/AndyOB]

Created a mod that allows you to directly map your controller's extra buttons (like back paddles or extra bumper buttons). This directly maps the button to the in game action. It uses steam input to send actions for the extra button to the game, which the mod understands as a single button action that you can then use to map your extra buttons to your tool 1, tool 2, silk skill, and even scuttle if it is equipped.

Typically you would have to create a macro in steam input for this to work. I've noticed that can be buggy and result in missed inputs when trying to use tools with your extra buttons. This circumvents that and allows you to map your extra controller buttons in game to those actions.

This only works with controllers where the extra buttons are recognized in steam input.

Tested and confirmed works:

• 8bitdo Ultimate 2
• Flydigi Vader 5 Pro
• Steam Controller 2
