Immersive Close Walking Camera (Gamepad walk toggle support)

Even though in the next-gen version you can have the camera closer at all times, this mod still enables the possibility to toggle between the distant and close camera depending on your walk state.

This mod is intentionally simple and lightweight and will most likely not cause any conflicts with other mods.

➜ Moves the camera close to Geralt when you toggle walk

➜ Default camera when running

➜ Sprinting will automatically untoggle walking

➜ FULL Gamepad support - the game does not natively support toggling walk on controllers. With this mod, now you can!

➜ Only one file is modified - should rarely cause conflicts

Explore the beautiful world of The Witcher 3 with the immersive close walking camera instead of the vanilla, very distant camera.

See how it works in the screenshots and video.

I suggest to also hide the HUD when walking, as it makes the game so much more beautiful. Check out the Friendly Hud mod for achieving this.

Installation

Unzip the folder "modCloseWalkingCam" to your Witcher 3\mods directory.

You're good to go!

Gamepad users

You need to edit the control scheme. By default holding down the right stick for 0. 4 seconds will activate the toggle. You have 2 options to do this:

Recommended: download input.settings file from optional files section and move it to Documents\The Witcher 3 replacing the existing file there.

Manually:

You have to bind a key for toggling. Goto Documents\The Witcher 3 and open input.settings with a text editor. Find and copy and paste this in a new line underneath:

IK_Pad_RightThumb=(Action=WalkToggle,State=Duration,IdleTime=0. 4)

If you use the left stick to toggle sprint, you're done! If you sprint by pressing the A/X-Button adjust the following:

Also in the section, find

IK_Pad_A_CROSS=(Action=Sprint)

and replace with

IK_Pad_A_CROSS=(Action=Sprin
