(Quick Summary, Look at the images for the full control scheme)


               This little mod combines the Instant Casting mod by Karsas90 with Dark Souls style combat controls and enables Sprinting with R1
               while running/swimming/vehicle riding for full control of the camera and a lot more little touches, while trying to keep everything
               as simple as possible. Always be in control of the right stick!

              

               Combat is a mix of classic Dark Souls and Witcher 3. Fast and Strong attacks with R1 and R2, Guard with L1 and if you have
               More Quick Slots and Quick Inventory installed, activate potions with Square (which should be White Raffard's Decoction) and Triangle.
               Dodging and Rolling are standard Witcher 3, and the Quick Access Item is activated with L2.

              

               Signs are cast instantly while holding down the modifier button. The two offensive Signs (Igni and Aard) are bound to the two
               offensive combat buttons R1 and R2. Quen, Yrden and Axii are bound to the face buttons.

              

               You still have the option to sprint with X, but everytime you're out of combat, you can hold R1 instead. You can ride your horse,
               boat, or just sprint and still control the camera with the right thumbstick. For me, this changed everything. Since R2 for the
               Witcher Sense is hard to reach during sprinting with R1, you can alternatively activate it by pressing the right thumbstick.
               Since I have set my minimap to only show up during Witcher Sense (Friendly HUD), this is very useful while riding the horse.
               Call your Horse with L1 + Cross.

              

               Two buttons for your potions? Ridiculous. Use More Quick Slots and Quick Inventory to get more consumable slots and activate
               Slots 3,4,7 and 8 with the modifier button + the four Digital Pad directions.

              

               Unleash the power of the touchpad to navigate the menus way easier. Every important menu page can be accessed by pressing or
               swiping the touchpad in various ways. Look at the images for more details. Only with the InputMapper version.

              

               - Switched L2 and L3. L2 now uses the Quick Access Item, and the L3 opens the Radial Menu.
               - Call Horse now on L1+Cross.
               - Square and Triangle are now Consumable 5 and 6 (If More Quickslots is installed).
               - Ingnite is back on Cross.

              

               Input Mapper
               - Go to your "Documents\The Witcher 3" folder and save or rename your input.settings file. Then put the input.settings file from
                 the mod archive into "Documents\The Witcher 3".
               - Set the newly installed input.settings file to READ ONLY (Schreibgeschützt) under right click -> properties.
               - Install InputMapper for your Dual Shock 4.
               - Go to "C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\InputMapper\Profiles" and put the "Witcher 3 Ultimate Gamepad.xml" from the
                 mod archive into the folder. Then select the profile in InputMapper.
               - Done!
               - Always make sure that InputMapper is running in exclusive mode. Often steam will prevent a connecting controller for running
                 in exclusive mode. Just close steam and reconnect your controller.

               XPadder (No Touchpad features, No Quicksave)
               - Go to your "Documents\The Witcher 3" folder and save or rename your input.settings file. Then put the input.settings file from
                 the mod archive into "Documents\The Witcher 3".
               - Set the newly installed input.settings file to READ ONLY (Schreibgeschützt) under right click -> properties.
               - Install XPadder
               - Put the "DS4.xpaddercontroller" and "Witcher 3 Ultimate Gamepad.xpadderprofile" file from the mod archive into the XPadder
                 profiles folder that you set during the installation.
               - Start Xpadder and select the controller and button profile.
               - Done!

               If you can't use my XPadder profile for whatever reason, you can build your own. I put up images of the XPadder configuration. L1 is
               a set selector for Set 2 (While Held), the rest is as you can see on the images. You will still need my input.settings file of course.

               For more information on how to connect your DS4 and InputMapper in general, check out the Instant Sign Casting Mod by Karsas90.
               He put up a nice little guide.
