About this mod

Remapping of the control scheme for the xbox one/360 controller to allow binding of some buttons for use with mods (i.e. dodge) and bring certain keyboard features to controllers

DESCRIPTION:

Like many others, I prefer playing Skyrim with a controller, but also like to use mods such as TK Dodge to add additional features. This leads to a             problem, however, because all of the buttons on a standard gamepad are occupied in the base game. This is simply a controlmap text file that Skyrim  SE can use over the main one. It is designed to work with an xbox one/360 controller, but may work with other gamepads (untested). This file is in  Skyrim by default (but is packaged in a BSA) and simply overrides the original when the game is launched, making it ultra-lightweight.

 The new mappings are as follows:

 - B is freed up for use (It is set as Hotkey 8, but should still be able to be used with mods. I had issues with TK Dodge if it wasn't assigned to anything.)
 - Back Button is now the player menu (inventory/map/magic/stats)
 - LB+Back is now wait
 - R3 (Right Stick Click) is freed up as well.
 - R3+LB: toggle perspective
 - D-Pad Down is no longer tied to favorites. It is now assigned as a Hotkey 3. (I use it to toggle my compass with iHUD)
 - The other D-Pad directions:
- Left: Hotkey 1
- Right: Hotkey 2
- Up+Left: Hotkey 4
- Up+Right: Hotkey 5
- Down+Left: Hotkey 6
- Down+Right: Hotkey 7
 - LB+Start: Quicksave
 - LB+B: Quick Inventory
 - LB+A: Quick Map
 - LB+X: Quick Magic
 - LB+Y: Quick Stats

Commands that require multiple buttons must be pressed in the order shown because of how the game interprets them (so technically hold the first and press the second).

Feel free to use this as a base for your own control maps. For convenience, I added a list of the xbox gamepad buttons and their associated codes in hex in the readme. 

NOTE: Do not modify controlmap.txt in Windows Notepad. This will break it. Notepad does not have the proper encoding for the file. I recommend using a text editor that has automatic encoding, such as Notepad++, if you would like to make your own map.

INSTALATION:

Note:
After installing, you will probably have to go to system/controls and reset to defaults ("Y") in the in game menu for the new map to take effect.

NMM:
1. Download with NMM
2. Activate in NMM

Manual:
1. Download the file
2. Extract the Interface folder into your data folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data)
3. Overwrite if prompted

Uninstall:
NMM: Disable or uninstall in NMM and the file will be deleted.
Manual: Delete controlmap.txt from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Interface\Controls\PC and any of the containing folders that are now empty.
After uninstalling, reset the controls to defaults as described above.

COMPATIBILITY:

This mod is compatible with any mod that does not modify controlmap.txt.
