ControllerGamepadRemapping

Remap your controller inputs beyond the game's limitations while dynamically matching the button glyphs and gamepad UI & much more

Features

  • Remapping most of the game's inputs via the F8 mod menu
  • Creating your own controller input preset that will also show up in the in-game settings 'controller' tab
  • Toggling the 'Alternate Function' feature from the game for all types of inputs
  • Unbinding unneeded actions completely (will also remove their button hint)
  • Support for 8 different controller UI's and their corresponding button glyphs
  • Button hints automatically match the remapped inputs
  • GUI navigation, allowing you to move your character with your left stick while your inventory, map etc. is open and using right stick / dpad to navigate the UI
  • Toggle for interacting via proximity, allowing you to interact with objects based on proximity (without directly looking at it)
  • Toggle for disabling the native dodge that is performed by blocking and jumping

Steam Input is recommended, look at the images at the bottom of the page to fix any issues regarding the left and right stick movement with steam input enabled.

Installation

r2modman

Install the mod using your preferred -compatible mod manager.

Manual installation

  • Install BepInEx for Valheim.
  • Extract the.zip and place its plugins folder inside the steamapps/common/Valheim/BepInEx/ folder path.
  • Start Valheim.

Configuration

Controller bindings can be configured through the mod's in-game interface by pressing F8 (preferably in the pause screen, otherwise the mouse movement will interfere).

Compatibility

Client-side mod using BepInEx.

Notes

Steam Input can modify or replace controller inputs before Valheim receives them. If a physical controller input is detected as another input, check your Steam Input layout as well.

Use the recommended Steam Input Joystick configuration from the preview screenhots to fix movement speed when walking diagonally (general issue with steam input in valheim, has nothing to do with the mod itself).

Issues

When reporting an input problem, please include:

  • The controller model
  • The affected binding
  • Whether Steam Input is enabled
  • Your BepInEx LogOutput.log

Send them to me via a private message to 'nussbacker'

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
