📋 About This Mod
This mod is an NVSE plugin that causes controller button inputs to also be detected by the game and NVSE functions as keyboard or mouse inputs.
It is configurable via an included INI file that must be edited by the user. As of the current version, it has the following options:
-
[]GameModeOnly - Disables the emulated inputs during MenuMode. (default: true)
[
]ShiftButton - Sets a button as a "shift" button, enabling a second set of key mappings while held. Values here.[]DisabledButtons - Prevents the game from reading inputs from specified buttons using the values listed here.
You can set each button on the controller to a DX scancode listed here. Use decimal values.
Hypothetical Scenario:
You want to use the button to throw grenades with B42 Quickthrow.
Solution: Replace an existing control
-
[]Set the LEFT_SHOULDER setting in the INI to 34. (This assumes the default keybind of 'G' is used for B42 Quickthrow. 34 is the decimal scancode for the 'G' key.)
[]Set the DisabledButtons setting to 256 to disable all game detection of the button (256 is the button code for the button) -OR- unmap the button in the game's settings menu (which requires lStewieAl's Tweaks installed). Either option completely disables the usage of the TogglePOV control unless you rebind that control to another button in the game's settings. Do you really need 8 hotkeys on the d-pad?
With this setup, pressing the button in-game will activate the "weapon throw" function from Quickthrow by faking the 'G' key.
This method completely removes a control input from the controller in order to replace it with other functionality from a mod that detects a keypress. That can work well if you only have one or two keypresses you need to fake, but another approach is needed if you want to fake a large number of them.
Hypothetical Scenario:
You want to use the the full functionality of B42 Quickthrow (throwing, cycling weapons, resetting throws) and the weapon bashing from B42 Melee Bash.
Solution: Designate a "shift" button
[]Set the ShiftButton INI setting to 256. (This is set to the button on XBox controllers by default. isn't easy to hold while in combat, so we're using the button again in this example.)
[]Set the SHIFT_BUTTON_X INI setting to 34. This is the scancode for the 'G' key used for Quickthrow's "throw weapon" key detection.
[]Set the SHIFT_BUTTON_Y INI setting to 35. This is the 'H' key for Quickthrow's "change weapon"
-
[]Set the LEFT_SHOULDER setting in the INI to 34. (This assumes the default keybind of 'G' is used for B42 Quickthrow. 34 is the decimal scancode for the 'G' key.)
