About this video

The menu that NorthernUI offers to customize gamepad controls. You can create and manage multiple control schemes. If you pay close attention, you’ll see the button prompt for speaking to NPCs change as I switch schemes or remap the Activate control.

Default control schemes are loaded from a plaintext file, so I don’t have to recompile the DLL to change them, and translators can edit them freely. (Not that I expect anyone to translate the mod or anything – and if any particular language uses a different binary, e.g. for a multi-byte text encoding, then there’s absolutely nothing I can do to ensure compatibility. But I did try to build this so that localization would be easy, just because that’s the right way to build it. Similarly, all text used by the DLL is stored in a plaintext file, and this menu uses more than half of the strings there.)

All that’s left to do now is polishing, and then the mod should be ready to ship.
