Improved Gamepad support

[ellisracing]

Hey Xan, awesome job with this mod! I'm really happy to see this game get some love :D

I hate to be "that guy" asking modders to do stuff, but if you're interested.... this game's controller support is pretty lacking.

It'd be nice to have something like the MW widescreen's improved controller support. I'm pretty sure there's even Xbox controller icons in GUIart.viv.

I was looking at the code in GUI.viv today (which I shared on the NFSMods Discord server under hp2). Seems relevant, but I'm not that knowledgeable on this. Perhaps the GUI.viv from the Xbox or GameCube version of the game could be useful as well?

Hi, I've already tried the entire Xbox UI on PC and it's broken due to missing input code. It loads without textures, tho this is easy to fix, but inputs simply do not work. I'll check if it'll be possible to add some gamepad code to the game, it needs some research. Most realistically right now what I can think of is to emulate keystrokes in menus, but I'll see if I can get console like functionality (in which case we need custom FE code, which isn't hard to write).
