Why would you want to use this?
Controller Users:
- You can now remap the controller Y button on the fly.
- You can now use any number of weapon types between 1 and 6 (inclusive) for Shepard and squad mates if you use Truly Unrestricted Weapons
- If you use a gyroscope for fine aiming outputting mouse, this will work correctly now with no flickering issues
- If you have mappable back/extra buttons, you can now use those for powers mapped in the PC UI
- fixed minor visual issues with the Weapon Wheel
Keyboard/mouse users:
- You can now use any number of weapons between 1 and 6 for Shepard and squad mates if you use Truly Unrestricted Weapons
- fixed minor visual issues with squadmate weapon icons
- The hotkey bar will be actually hidden when you hide it
- the hotkey bar will stay hidden across saves.
- there is now a keybind (Y) for toggling the hotkey bar
- The hotkey bar will automatically expand when you start dragging a power if it was minimized
Mixed input users (Steam Deck, Steam Controller, etc)
- All of the above listed benefits, plus:
- All known mixed input issues are fixed. No more UI flickering, no elements in the wrong place, no missing parts of the UI
- The mouse control the camera in the power and weapon wheels
- the right joystick will now control the camera in the Tactics HUD
- the hotkeys will now stay visible (unless hidden) while using controller inputs, and will be usable.
- You can lock the controller interaction prompt to always show, never show, or be dynamic, as in vanilla
Full Features List:
- You can now use the hotkeys while using a controller
- Mixed input works correctly. No HUD flickering, no squadmate icons in the wrong place, and all features are accessible. You can always control the camera with the mouse or the right stick.
- You can lock the HUD interact prompt to either controller or PC mode, so that the interact controller button prompt will either always or never show up, regardless of the current input style. Useful for mixed input situations where it would otherwise flicker, or if you want a cleaner interface while using a controller.As of version 1.1, this also affects hints shown on screen, so they will respect this install time setting.
- You can now access all 6 weapon types for Shepard or squad mates, using both the controller and the PC interfaces. Requires Truly Unrestricted Weapons to alter their loadout. For controller UI, all weapons will show up and be selectable. For PC UI, the squad mate weapons icon will cycle through their weapons.
- If you have fewer than 5 weapon types equipped, the weapon select icons will be better spaced out.
- the Hotkey bar will now actually hide when hidden rather than leaving the bottom border visible.
- The hotkey bar will remember whether you have hidden it across saves now instead of always coming back.
- You can now toggle the hotkey bar with keyboard Y, both in and out of the Tactics HUD.
- You can now remap the controller Y power on the fly, just like in LE3.
- the hotkey bar will automatically expand when you start dragging a power if it was minimized.
- Fixed an issue where weapons would not show up as equipped the first time the weapon wheel is opened after loading a save or after changing the loadout.
- Fixed an issue where the squadmate weapon icon would not show as highlighted when swapping their weapon in the PC UI.
- Disallows entering the power wheel/weapon wheel/tactics HUD while controlling a mech during Arrival DLC.
- This mod does not add or modify any text, so it will work in any language.
Compatibility:
- Mostly compatible with Myriad Pro Begone. It will use the correct font, but some adjustments to size or position will be overridden by this mod. No known game breaking issues or cut off text
- See compatibility of Truly Unrestricted Weapons if you use that.
- Will overwrite the changes of Fully Unrestricted Weapons, but it also implements similar functionality, so you should not need that anymore
- No other known incompatible mods
Planned features for the future:
- Allow more than 8 hotkeys
- full Myriad Pro Begone compatibility
- redesigned PC HUD to rely less on fiddly hovering animation
- make more powers accessible in the HUD
Known Issues:
- If you enter the power/weapon wheel or the tactics HUD, hover over something to show the info text, then pause, the background of the info text will remain visible over the pause menu. This is a vanilla issue that is still present in this mod.
- If you switch Shepard's weapon in the PC Tactics HUD, you cannot interact with those icons again until you unpause. This is a vanilla issue.
- the icons in the power wheel indicating what to press to map a power to various keys are not aligned. This is a vanilla issue.
- you can sometimes get a crash when dragging powers in the PC HUD. this is a vanilla issue, but I do hope to address it.
