Controller Assistant

Controller Assistant (DFU)

Makes navigating Daggerfall Unity menus with a controller easier by adding shortcuts, buttons, and a selector over the existing UI.

Introduction

Daggerfall Unity made some great improvements over the original that make the game more playable with a controller, however the menus are still predominantly pointer-driven. Menus may have specific shortcuts, but manually mapping all of these functions to a controller is completely impractical.

Controller Assistant eliminates the need to thumbstick-drag the pointer to buttons and tabs, and automatically maps most major menu functions to button shortcuts so you do not need to. It also provides on-screen activation for most windows, helping simplify your controller layout.

Default UI behavior and control is maintained (with the exception of a couple of improvements mentioned below), so you can become accustomed to the new navigation system at your own pace. Soon though, the only thing you will be doing with the Left Stick in menus is moving the pointer out of the way.
