DISCLAIMER:
This is not a mod; This is a collection of images for either player use, or for use as a modders' resource.

Context:

When Mass Effect: Legendary Edition launched, physical copies of the game shipped with a printed copy of the controller map diagram inside the case.

Those maps are reproduced on the EA website for both Xbox and Playstation controllers, but for some reason they only cover ground controls, and make no mention of how to control the M-35 Mako in ME1, or the M-44 Hammerhead in ME2.

The settings menus allow you to see and alter the key bindings for Keyboard & Mouse controls, however you will not find a diagram of the Xbox or Playstation controls anywhere within any of the three games themselves, and to compound this oversight, no digital copy of the diagrams were included with the game files in PDF or any other format.


What does this collection of images contain?

I have started a project to create high resolution images covering both ground and vehicle controls as laid out on the most widely available control pads, each with two versions;

A "Clean" image with the buttons listed by function, and a "Lines" version where the buttons are also visibly linked to the text. Each image is/will be themed around the menu style of the game in question.


Who is this for?

These images are intended to be used as guides for anyone who wants a reference image that includes the specific controller they own, and when I upload the project files, modders can do whatever they wish with them.

If anyone ever wanted to somehow integrate such diagrams into the games' menus in some way, I think that would be real nice. I started the project off at 3840x2160 resolution in the hopes that someone might take me up on the idea in the future.  (I wouldn't have the first clue how to do that, by the way.)


How complete is this project?

At present, the project is at the earliest stage and currently covers 3 types of controller for Mass Effect 1 Legendary Edition:

• The standard Xbox Series X Controller
• The Xbox Elite Controller 2
• The Razer Wolverine Ultimate
  

What are the ongoing plans for this?

• Covering Mass Effect 2 and 3.
  

• Adding more controller types, including Playstation Dualshock 4 and 5 controllers, the rest of the Razer range including the Wolverine Tournament Edition and the various Chroma pads, and if I get around to it, the Power-A Enhanced N7 Edition Wired Controller.
  

• Tidying up the existing images to make the Lines versions a little more polished, because I'm not 100% happy with them. Consider these Beta versions for the time being.
• Reworking the images for a generally cleaner look.
  

• Uploading the files in 2560x1440, 1920x1080 and other resolutions.
  

• Creating Ultrawide resolution versions.
  

• Uploading project files, or linking to them on Github, once I'm satisfied with the tweaks and changes I'll be making, which could take a while because I can get real picky.
  

Here is an article that describes what I intend to change about the layout.


I use a third party controller you haven't listed. Will you create a map image for it?

I am more than willing to entertain requests, provided a decent enough image of the product can be found.
