📋 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" />

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros

- Small, focused mod that does exactly what it says without bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022 — may be outdated for current game versions.
