Drawing tablet

[Bikanel desert]

can I use my drawing tablet with this???

[water is not ice]

Doesnt it just replace the mouse cursor? I dont have one but I dont see why not

[Bikanel desert]

but I want to know from some one who tried if it works

my tablet doesn't work, i tried it in both pen mode and mouse mode for the pen and it simply doesn't do anything. it would be AMAZING if the mouse input would actually just translate over (like you would assume it would), hopefully the devs will take a look at this. *and just to clarify: My tablet works fine in Photoshop, zbrush and just in general*

Yea I don't understand why it won't work, the clicks ect work fine, it's just actually moving the mouse that does nothing...I can play csgo and even older games with my pen but in such art it wont move..

NO; I trye with my wacom I supose it would need to treat the tablet like a special controler given the types.. I have a Image tablet with a screen it would benice even if i still had to use my mouse to select stuff and prepare to use the tablet to draw My mouse pad is kind of trashed

same for me ... how can you create a drawing / painting game and not think about configuring an option for graphics tablets ??

[Captain Sweaty Balls]

It's not like they need to do anything special for it to work, right? LIke literally allow us to control the camera and such as you do with mouse...ofc I'm no game dev but as I stated in a previous post I can play csgo with my pen and tablet and that was ofc never designed to be played that way..so why is it a big deal for this game to not have it..

maybe that's the intention, imagine that the dev launches a challenge or a contest in which you have to draw something he asks for, do you guys think would be fair for some to draw with a digital pen tablet producing better designs and others not because they don't have it or don't have the means to buy it. So it would be unfair and could cause confusion between participants or players, probably would arise arguments between each other in which it would not be good and don't forget this is just a game and you can always use photoshop for the pen and tablet.

There is always going to be an unfair advantage because there is going to be people who play this game but are not professional or hobby artists anyway..I am by trade and I do use photoshop with my tablet but, even if playing this game I still want to do the best I can and that's not going to happen by using just a mouse. I'm assuming everyone asking for tablet support is either a hobby or professional artist and the people say just go use PS are not so it wouldn't be relevant to them...so for the artists out there, it would of made sense to have such support maybe seeing as it is an art game..either way there must be a workaround..just no one has found it yet.

I sort of managed to get it to work with my tablet, but it made the game less enjoyable for me. I don't know what kind of tablet you are using though so I don't know if what I did would work for you as well.
For my XP-PEN I switched its 'mouse mode' from the absolute setting to the relative setting. I was able to control the camera, but it felt pretty sluggish to me.

This is something I'd definitely love to see implemented.

I'm only using intuos pen and touch but I do have pen mode and mouse mode on my settings but the movement does nothing..is what you're using one of them on screen tablets?

Yes my tablet has a screen.
Is the position of your pen on the tablet mapped to a specific position on your screen (absolute mapping) or does it translate the movement of your pen to the current position of the mouse on screen regardless of where you do the motion on the tablet (relative mapping)?

I dug up my old intuos and tried getting that tablet to work, but couldn't. I think that the game won't allow you to use tablets windows recognizes as pen inputs, like the intuos. My XP-PEN is recognized by windows as a generic input device so thats probably why I could get that tablet to work.

In an old thread where i brought this up, A dev said they'll think about adding it but it wouldnt be in the initial release (stayed true to that) and its a bit more complex than just implementing it, i can only guess due to the engine.

Definitely not a "not adding it cause that defeats the purpose" I can barely play this game due to my effed up right hand and wrist so im banking on that eventual tablet support, even if its just mouse input

[Captain Sweaty Balls]

yea I really can't create anything decent in this because of the mouse..sure it's fine for doing big blocky designs where detail isn't important or stencils and such but it's impossible for sketches and fine detail..
