I now migrated CS2D to BlitzMax-NG. This allowed me to add controller support and also to fix some other issues. e.g. there's now HTTPS support and HTTP(S) downloads are non-blocking (meaning they should cause less lag).

Controller support is currently minimalistic and not configurable and a lot of things need to be improved (e.g. construction). Most important gameplay actions should work though. I added (ugly) radial menus which are enabled automatically when a controller is detected (currently for team selection, buy menu and weapon selection only).

Download
http://stuff.unrealsoftware.de/cs2d_controller.zip
• put CS2DController.exe file into your CS2D folder
• put the steam dll into your CS2D folder
• put sys/gamecontrollerdb.txt into the sys folder of your CS2D folder
> Run CS2DController.exe

This client should be compatible with the current live version.
Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Thank you for testing and the feedback!

I updated the zip file:
• crosshair distance when aiming with regular firearms is now static/fixed
• reduced crosshair distance with wrench so you can directly target adjacent tiles when building
• long press Y now opens a new menu with extra options like flashlight, spraylogo and (team) radio
• radial menu tweaks: multi line texts, weapon images, no ugly window around it
• when a radial menu is open, you can now still move with the left stick
• radial menu for constructing buildings (destroy options are currently missing) and selecting stuff in supply building

same download, make sure to load it again and not from cache

Thanks again for the feedback. I updated the download again.

• Y long press menu now has a night vision option
• walk silently by moving the left stick only slightly (strong tilt: run), pressing the stick also still enforces walking
• several radial menu rendering tweaks + all radial menu texts are now properly localized
• gamepad controlled crosshair should work correctly in all resolutions
• moved to BlitzMax NG Steam implementation

We got a CS2D update before gta VI, great news .
One thing, with the BlitzMax-NG you got more motivation to fix bugs and add new features or is the same situation as before?

Oh, forgot to add the new steam dll which is required now. added it.

@user slimK: Stranded III still has prio. No major new features (except for controller support) planned right now. Mainly modernization and fixes. Of course if I feel like doing something I'll just do so.

Updated once again:

• more precise aiming with controller
• when dead/spec you can move the crosshair with the controller like in a menu
• you can confirm/click with the right trigger as well
• left trigger ins spec mode works like a right mouse button (zoom)
• Y long press menu also allows to open vote menu
• when the right stick is tilted more than 90% it acts like holding the right trigger and fires the weapon (only for regular firearms. grenades and grenade launcher as well as weapons in scoped mode still need to be fired with the trigger key), can be controlled with new command 
gpad_firezone
(0 to disable, value >0 to 1.0 to enable, 0.9 default)
• you can adjust the controller deadzone with 
gpad_deadzone
. values can range from 0.0 to 0.95 (defaults to 0.15, increasing this decreases the firezone because the firezone percent is in relation to the active tick range with deadzone excluded)

New controller settings are not yet exposed anyhwere. you need to apply them manually. I'm considering to add a new controller/gamepad menu to show the button mapping and change the settings later

I just tried the latest build a few minutes ago. I started a new game with a local server and it didnt work, but I was able to join an online server. What surprised me is that the game felt much smoother and also loaded significantly faster.

BTW Is there any chance we might see 64bit dedi server? It would be great to finally drop 32-bit libs on my lowendbox servers)) aaaand what BlitzMax NG version?

@user Hajt: Yes, part of the benefits we get from the BlitzMax NG is 64 bit Linux client + dedicated server - if everything goes well. I used BlitzMax NG 0.154. The version which is on the website https://blitzmax.org/downloads/
only noticed later that there are even newer releases (and that the linked Linux version on the page is an older one)

Oh no... you are right. It looks like joining a server created with that version currently doesn't work. Need to check whats going on.

Edit: Ok I found the issue with the connection. Will work with the next iteration.

Alright, yet another update

• when dead/spectating you can cycle through players with the shoulder buttons
• when dead/spectating you can switch the spectator mode with Y
• when dead/spectating the scoreboard now works
