📋 About This Mod

Compatible with Patch 1. 3

Mod changes the inputContexts.xml file.

Vanilla behaviour means tapping B twice to dodge and tapping once to crouch. This mod changes this so that tapping B once allows for dodge AND crouch, tapping B while moving in any direction will lead to a dodge, tapping B while the character is stationary will lead to a crouch.

If you want to add this to inputContexts.xml yourself:

Step 1

Under <!-- HOLD ACTIONS -->

Find <hold action="ToggleCrouch"                    timeout="0. 3" />

Change 0. 3 to 0. 6 (truthfully don't think this makes a difference really)

Step 2

Add the below XML under the ToggleCrouch line:

<hold action="Dodge"                        timeout="0. 3" />

<hold action="DodgeForward"                    timeout="0. 3" />

<hold action="DodgeBack"                    timeout="0. 3" />

<hold action="DodgeLeft"                    timeout="0. 3" />

<hold action="DodgeRight"                    timeout="0. 3" />

Step 3

Under <!-- MULTITAP ACTIONS -->

Find and delete the below lines:

<multitap action="Dodge" count="2" uptime="0. 2" downtime="0. 2" /> <!-- Kerenzikov Dodge -->

<multitap action="DodgeForward"        count="2" uptime="0. 2" downtime="0. 2" cancels="Right;Back;Left" />

<multitap action="DodgeRight"         count="2" uptime="0. 2" downtime="0. 2" cancels="Forward;Back;Left" />

<multitap action="DodgeBack"         count="2" uptime="0. 2" downtime="0. 2" cancels="Right;Forward;Left" />

<multitap action="DodgeLeft"         count="2" uptime="0. 2" downtime="0. 2" cancels="Right;Back;Forward" />
