Using a controller?
Tired of skipping lines of dialogue while trying to sneak with a follower/partner?
I definitely am. This will show you how to fix that, or give you a file to do it automatically.

The included file will replace Circle/B with R3/RS (Right Joystick Press), which is for quick attacks. For me this was the best choice as I wouldn't attack unless the chit chat was over. I also tend to skip dialogue when I shouldn't, but the sticks are hard to push down on my controller so it gives me an extra moment to think.

*You can also avoid accidentally skipping dialogue by switching to "continuous skip" (it's like fast forwarding), but I prefer to skip the on screen text only and instantly. So this mod is for people with that preference like me.

There's a guide further down on how to choose any binding.
(Probably the safer option in case CDPR adds any new functions to the game and you have to repeat the process)

WARNING!:
Please make a copy of the original file, or rename it, just in case you make a mistake or this interferes with another mod.
My mod uses all the default controller mapping, so if you have any mods that change that, it will be undone.
If you want to use your own mapping but still change the dialogue skip button, read the next step:

MANUAL INSTALLATION - FILE:

Just download and unzip the "inputUserMappings.xml"  file
and move it to the /r6/config/  folder, wherever you have Cyberpunk installed.


~


MANUAL INSTALLATION - CODE:

Open the "inputUserMappings.xml"  file using Notepad or similar software/apps.
You can find it in the /r6/config/  folder, wherever you have Cyberpunk installed.

Once open, search for "Fast Forward" (you can use [Ctrl]+[F] to search in most software/apps).
Look for the following lines of code


<mapping name="SceneFastForward_Button" type="Button" >
<button id="IK_Pad_Pad_B_CIRCLE" />
<button id="IK_C" overridableUI="fastForward"/>
</mapping>

<mapping name="FastForward_Hold_Button" type="Button" >
<button id="IK_Pad_Pad_B_CIRCLE" />
</mapping>


The code in BOLD ITALICS  determines the skip button for pressing and holding respectively.

By default, it is the Circle/B button on PS3/PS4 or Xbox/Xbone controllers. But you can change that.

My mod file changes it to the right joystick press button, which is RightThumb
But if you search through the file, you will find the terms for every button input.
Just be sure to pick something that doesn't conflict with controls you already have... such as Start which is for pausing.

UNINSTALLING:

If (and ONLY if) you made a copy of or renamed the original file, just delete the "inputUserMappings.xml"  file you got from this mod, and restore your copy.

If you managed to delete that by accident, or never made your own, I've got a copy of the original here too.
