📋 About This Mod
input.settings, input.xml and user.settings updater
Can be used with TW3MM, manual install or Vortex
Installation
-
[]Install ASI Loader
How: copy dinput8.dll to bin\x64 and bin\x64_dx12
dinput8.dll must be placed near witcher3.exe
[
]Install Settings UpdaterHow: unpack to game dir
settings_updater.asi must be placed near witcher3.exe
WARNING: For Old-Gen unpack only x64, do not unpack x64_dx12, as it will confuse TW3MMHow it works:
Just before game starts settings_updater.asi scans mods folder for certain files
input.settings.txt
input.settings.part.txt
bin/config/r4game/user_config_matrix/pc/input.xml (inside a mod, not game itself)
input.xml.txt
input.xml.part.txt
user.settings.txt
dx12user.settings.txt
user.settings.part.txt
dx12user.settings.part.txt
mods\modSkipDialogs\input.settings.txt is checked
mods\modSkipDialogs\content\input.settings.txt is NOT checkedAnd then updates input.settings, user(dx12).settings in Documents and game input.xml
Includes automatic uninstall for input.xml
Does NOT include uninstall for input.settings and user.settings
Additional feature: prevents added input being out of sync, so useful even when using TW3MM
Vanilla has:
IK_LShift=(Action=Sprint)
Some mod adds:
IK_LShift=(Action=None)
Now Sprint key is 'out of sync'
Going to Key Bindings menu and trying to set key usually fails, first need to unbind key (click middle mouse button), which is very confusing
This tool automatically does:
IK_LShift=(Action=Sprint)
which is correct in 99% of cases
