Improved gamepad control - Exploration

Slightly modified exploration controls (such as swimming, horses, boats, etc.) in The Witcher 3 for gamepad users.

Here is a simple module I made with slightly modified exploration controls (like swim, horse, boat, etc.) in The Witcher 3 for gamepad users. I feel like having an A button for sprinting/jogging is a very poor design choice, it doesn't allow you to freely look around, and with the right analog stick, this can also be used to control a horse a lot

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are using the Blood and Wine DLC, you will need to download the "input_qwerty.ini" file. Copy and overwrite to "witcher 3 wild hunt\bin\config\r4game\legage\base".

So the 1.07 patch seems to have stopped the main use of input.settings and the game now uses a different input file to control the gamepad. I've managed to get the changes working again, but currently I only have them working for the full mod (all control changes). So if you just used some changes from the mod, I'm sorry, now you may have to change the new input files yourself.

What does this model change?

This mode simply changes some exploration controls to more logical buttons, allowing for more precise and free movement. The layout of this controller will allow you to do things like look around and control the horse with the right analog stick, which is especially useful when sprinting. This change also applies to ships (R2 for sailing, double tap and hold to sail faster). To see all the changes made to the control, view the uploaded image or read the full list of changes below:

Install

1). Navigate to c:\users\yourname\documents\the switcher 3 and create a backup copy of input.settings. This way, if you don't like the changes, you can revert to the old controls.

2). Download the RAR file and open the folder for the desired changes (select from the folder name)

3). Extract the modified input.settings to the location in step 1 and overwrite the existing file.

4). Download the input file and copy/overwrite the 3 files to "witcher 3 wild hunt\bin\config\r4game\legage\base".

5). Finish! ! Get into the game and try out the new controls :) If the changes don't work for you, you may need to set the input.settings file to read-only (just right-click on the file and select "Properties").
