Remastered First Person View Toggle

===================================

A script-only first-person camera for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, game version 5. 0

(the current "next-gen" release). No .asi loader or DLL required.

- The camera sits at Geralt's eyes and follows his head as he moves.

- Hair, hood and mask are hidden. The body, arms and weapons stay visible, and his

shadow keeps its head.

- The body turns with the mouse, and WASD moves relative to where you look (Skyrim-style).

- Sword attacks in first person are forward swings only: no spins or turn-around attacks.

- Optional center-screen reticle (Ctrl + R).

- Cutscenes, dialogues, menus and horseback use the normal game cameras. First person

resumes afterwards.

REQUIREMENTS

------------

- The Witcher 3 version 5. 0 (tested with DirectX 12).

- Mods must be enabled in REDlauncher. If the "Mods" option in the game's settings

is greyed out, open REDlauncher, go to The Witcher 3's settings and enable mods.

(This is stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\CD Projekt Red\REDlauncher\config\launcher.ini

as  <your id>\witcher3=true  under .)

INSTALLATION

------------

1. Close the game.

2. Copy the "mods" folder from this archive into your Witcher 3 installation folder,

so you end up with:

<Witcher 3>\mods\modFirstPersonRemastered\content\scripts\local\firstPersonRemastered.ws

3. Add the key bindings (pick A or B):

A) Automatic: right-click Install-Keybinds.ps1 and choose "Run with PowerShell",

or run this in PowerShell from the extracted folder:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Install-Keybinds.ps1

It edits Documents\The Witcher 3\input.settings and saves a backup next to it

(input.settings.fpr-<date>.bak). Running it again only adds what is missing.

B) Manual: open Documents\The Witcher 3\input.settings in a text editor. Under EACH

of these section headers:

add these four lines directly below the header:

IK_F8=(Action=FPR_Toggle)

IK_LControl=(Action=FPR_Modifier)

IK_MouseZ=(Action=FPR_Wheel)

IK_R=(Action=FPR_Reticle)

Keep the existing lines for Left Ctrl, the mouse wheel and R; the mod expects them.

4. Start the game. The first start takes a little longer while the game compiles scripts.

First person is on by default.

Updating from an older version: replace the mod folder and run step 3 again, so the new

Ctrl + R binding is added.

Just run step 3 again if that happens.

Ctrl + scroll up    first person

Ctrl + scroll down  third person

F8                  toggle first / third person

Ctrl + R            reticle on / off (off by default)

While Ctrl is held, the scroll wheel does not cycle signs and R does not drink a potion.

Left Ctrl still toggles walking, but now when you release it, and not at all if you

used it for Ctrl + scroll or Ctrl + R.

CONSOLE COMMANDS (optional)

Documents\The Witcher 3\dx12user.settings. It opens with the key below Esc

(~ on US keyboards, § on Nordic keyboards).
