About this mod
Here is a simple mod I made that slightly revamps the exploration controls (such as swimming, horses, boats, etc) in Witcher 3 for gamepad users. I feel that having the A button for sprint/canter is a a really bad design choice, it does not allow you to look around freely with the right analog-stick, which can also be used to control the horse much

Important: If you are using the Blood and Wine DLC, you need to download the "input_QWERTY.ini" file. Copy and overwrite to "Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\bin\config\r4game\legacy\base".
So the 1.07 patch seemed to stop input.settings from being used primarily, the game now uses different input files for the gamepad controls. I've managed to get the changes working again, however currently I only have them working for the full mod (All control changes). So if you were just using some changes from the mod, I'm sorry for now you may have to change the new input files yourself.
What Does This Mod Change?
This mod simply changes a few of the exploration controls to more reasonable buttons which allow for more precise and free movement. This controller layout will allow you to do things such as look around and control the horse using the right-analog stick, especially useful while sprinting. This change has also been applied to boats (R2 to sail, double tap & hold to sail faster). To see all of the changes made to the controls, please take a look at the uploaded images or read the full list of changes below:
Note: All sections are optional and can be installed separately.
Swimming
Sprint/Swim Faster: Right Trigger/R2
Dive: X/SQUARE
Surface: Y/TRIANGLE
Grab ledge/boat: Press/Tap L3 (Left stick)
Horseback
Sprint/Canter: Right Trigger/R2
Jump: A
Axii Sign: Y (You can use X for horseback combat, the sword moves are the same with both X and Y.)
Boats
Sail: Right Trigger/R2 (Double-tap to increase speed)
Exploration
Jump: Press/Tap L3
Call Roach: Double-tap R3
Ignite/Extinguish: Hold A
Installation
1). Navigate to C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\The Witcher 3 and create a backup copy of input.settings. This way you can revert back to the old controls if you don't like the changes.
2). Download the RAR file and open the folder of which changes you want (Choose from folder names)
3). Extract the modified input.settings to the location in step 1 and overwrite the existing file.
4). Download the Input_QWERTY file and copy/overwrite the 3 files to "Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\bin\config\r4game\legacy\base".
4). Done!! Go in-game and try out the new controls for yourself :) If the changes aren't working for you, you may need to set your input.settings file to Read-Only (Just right click on the file and select properties).
Compatibility
Will not work with other mods that edit the input.settings file, unfortunately you will have to edit the file yourself if you wish to make them both work.
Should work on all versions of the game, just let me know if an update breaks it and I will reupload it asap!
Changes should work with both Xbox controllers and PS3/PS4 dualshock controllers using a 360-pad emulator (such as Ds3Tool and Ds4Tool)
