Controller - Instant Skill Selection - No Extra Programming

About this mod Machine translation

I made this mod while using an Xbox 360 controller. I don't have an Xbox One or PS4 controller. I think the trigger timing needs to be adjusted for each controller. If you use any of these controllers, please let me know if they work reliably.

If not, you can open the input.settings file by using a text editor and adjust the following

From custom changes: IK_Pad_RightTrigger = (Action = CastSign, State = Duration, IdleTime = 0.07)

If you press the trigger and it casts the previously selected flag, if you press the trigger and nothing happens, decrease the number. Make sure to make changes in the [Base_Signs], [Combat] and [Exploration] sections.

Feel free to publish your own version of the mod. If you do, please let me know so I can add a link here. I can also put your version as a file on this mod if you want.

describe:

This mod moves around the controller scheme a bit and makes some sacrifices in order to put all symbols on the controller.

Change control:

-Right Trigger = Igni

-D-Pad Up = Axii

-D-Pad Right = Aard

-D-Pad Down = Yrden

-D-Pad Left = Quen

-Start = Draw silver sword

-Back = Draw steel sword

The Sacrifices: -

The plastic/consumables used with the D-pad Up and D-pad Down will still work, but only with the radial menu (left bumper).

  • Keyboard must be used to launch Start and Game menus.

Update v0.2: -

Adjusted the right trigger time by 0.02 seconds to hopefully make Igni more consistent. If you find yourself pressing the right trigger and nothing happens regularly, then revert to v0.1. This only happens if the right trigger is pressed and released very quickly.

Install:

  • Navigate to C:\Users\*your username*\Documents\The Witcher 3 or wherever you saved The Witcher 3.
  • Back up the input.settings file. This will make uninstalling this mod easier if you choose to do so.
  • Move the downloaded input.settings file to C:\Users\*your username*\Documents\The Witcher 3.
  • Right-click on the input.settings file and select Properties. Select the checkbox labeled "Read Only" and press "OK." This will prevent the game from changing the controls back to their default values.

uninstall:

  • Navigate to C:\Users\*your username*\Documents\The Witcher 3 or wherever you saved The Witcher 3.
  • Delete the input.settings file.
  • Rename the backup input.settings file to input.settings.

Additional notes:

  • If you want to learn how to make these changes, check out xpizdax's DIY section of the mod: http://www.witcher3/mods/81/?
  • If you want to change which buttons cast which logos, then you need to remember two things. First you need to change the bindings in the [Base_Signs], [Combat] and [Exploration] sections. Secondly I would change the Action=Select*sign* part instead of changing the actual button. Triggers require different timing than buttons. If you're not sure about anything I'm talking about, check out the DIY section mentioned above.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
