About this mod

My Private Controlmaps that make you play Skyrim just like Modern Third Person Games.
Not Complicated, No feature Bloat, not like the many others on the Nexus.
Inspired by The Witcher 3, and many other games that share similar Controls.
This Preset was Designed to use with other Mods that improves 3rd Person Gameplay

Overview:



I used Map My Buttons as a Fundamentation. Credits to this Guy.
I just came from my 200th playthrough of The Witcher 3 back to Skyrim and realized again that bethesda actually never played games with a controller.
So i searched up the dephts of the Nexus again and the only gamepad.txt i found are either :

- Good vanilla Style ones
- Chaotic Feature Bloats
- And some where i ask myself again if they ever played a Game with a Controller.

So i just grapped the best i can found and carefully tweaked Map My Buttons over and over a bit everytime when something feels off, which results in this Mod.
I never saw a Skyrim control scheme which take care of Modern Third Person Controls.
And i wanted to give the modding community something back. A unique Gamepad.txt file for Skyrim.

Confirmed by user that its work for Playstation Controller.
You can do and Upload whatever you want with my File, just credit me.
Please dont criticize my Spelling, i live in Germany, Nouns are Capitalized here, its just a Habit.

Pease read the ENTIRE DESCRIPTION otherwise you may get Confused

Just make sure nothing and no one overwrite the .txt file

Set the Controls ingame to Default after Installation
In order this mod takes Changes, and to prevent weird controls

Made for Compatibility with Mods like Elden Counter where your first Attack has to be a heavy attack without unassign your left hand magic,
Make sure to set the line in OCPA to
OnlyDuringAttack 0
and dont forget to change it back if you change controls in Mod Manager
it is same like Default Plus but with a majority difference
Activate is A
Jump is L1+A (sounds ridiculous i know, but feels better than it sound)
Dont download it unless you want headache

A is Activate
Set in OCPA
OnlyDuringAttack to 0
Dont use this please



More Versions will be coming soon

Why i am actually do that multiple version stuff by the way

Spoiler:  
Show

The whole idea behind the multiple file stuff is to suit multiple personal preferences, without feature bloat people off but also keeping the Spirit of most Third Person Combat Games.
For Example some controller mods are lacking some features, others would have
while other controller mods are just have too many Features and when iam actually ingame, i dont understand anything than Bahnhof,
they feature bloat me to oblivion.
thats just the wrong way of suit multiple personal preferences.
Some people can live with that but most not.
thats why i will upload multiple files for a while, this way users and me as well can just switching between the controls in their Mod Manager, without either sacrificing their main controls or manually tweak them everytime when they change something in their loadorder that needs special tweaking. 

and since it is pretty simple to configure these files they are done in less than 3 minutes. 
And Playtesting those actually makes fun, so Theoretically there is no work for me because i do that frequently for private usage.
So why dont share the stuff with the community?
I will also Upload everytime a additional file when i change something in my loadorder that actually need tweaking like Souls Quickmenu, without breaking my Rule.



Actually the Light Versions are more "Default" than the Default versions

Please read Carefully otherwise you may get Confused.

-First things first, you will NOT do Regular Attacks with your Shoulder Buttons, instead you will Attack with X (Light Attacks) and Y (Heavy Attacks) - One Click Power Attack is Requiered for this. This will also only make sense if you use MCO/SKYSA 1.9 - 2.8 or ABR. 

-Since i also map Y for activate things ,you also need Better Third Person Selection (which is essential Anyway for every Third Person playthrough), and uncheck "in Combat" in the MCM this way you won't loot Corpses in the Heat of Battles.
Also configure your ini settings in OCPA to
-Only During Attack = 1
-and Keycode=279.
Dont worry it works flawlessly.
if you are Lazy i could Upload my personal ini settings for the requiered mods which fits the Control scheme. Only if someone is interested.

-Just like The Witcher 3 i mapped Magic/Left Hand to R2/RT because it feels more Natural.
OCPA also let you also Power Attack with R2 besides of Y if you dont have Magic on your Left. To begin your combos with Heavy Attack

-L1/LB is Sprint and short Dodge - DMCO is required. Which is unbeaten when it comes to Short dodges especially in Dungeons and Close Quarter.
Make sure to Enable sprint click in "Dodge Framework" MCM, and set hold sprint to 0.15
If you only use DMCO without the other dodge mods then uncheck sprint click and set the dodge key to B.

-I also Mapped Wait to L1+Start to prevent you to accidentally wait.
I used this Modifier also for additional Hotkeys, besides of the Light Versions
Dont worry DMCO will work though. (i will upload a optional version later without additional Hotkeys)

-Character Menu/Tween Menu is Select/Back.
Main Menu/Journal is Start

-Block is L2 - use the Dual Wield Block mod of your Trust, i personally use Dual wield Parry,
if you are still a SkySa user take Grip-Switch (incompatible with Inquisitor)
Also dont forget to set Block in their MCM to L2

-Lock-on and Toggle POV is R3 - True Directional Movement is Requiered. Click for Lock-on Hold for Toggle POV.

-B is Sneak and Dodge only if you are a Ultimate Dodge Mod user, if using TK you have to make sacrifices and Map Sneak to DPAD down or L3.
For either the Light or Default versions.

As for TK Dodge RE configure the skse plugin ini, the keycode line should be look like this :
DodgeHotkey = 277

i personal recommend using DMCO together with either TUDM or TK for long and short dodge options.
If you have both dont use a version that acces favs with L1+Select
Read sticky post for more information

As for Light and Default versions it is Possible to have all three dodge mods but who needs that?

Notes to Souls Version

Spoiler:  
Show

Shout/Power has been sacrificed to L1+R1 in order to use Potions with R1,
i dont like that because Potions should only be used with dpad buttons.
But we have to make sacrifices, until i found a better solution, leave a comment if you have one
DPAD buttons are unassigned 
No Hotkeys
you ask why?
Read the instructions in their Description
By the Way
i personally highly recommend this mod but its hard to find a Key for Potion Drinking that dont feel unnatural
Edit 
After Playing with this for some hours i discovered that i really only use potions for healing
so i just set dpad down for potion drinking, which was for cycling potion groups before (heal/magic/stamina)
and its finally felt natural
so i just uploaded a file for people who feel the same.
For those who only use potions for healing.
basically i did nothing more than put shout back to R1
Edit
TK users will sneak with L1+L3 i really didnt found a better solution but i want to get TK working with it
please let me know if you found a better solution, its the worst solution i ever made


Notes to Elden Equip Versions

Spoiler:  
Show

Only used it with Playstation 5 Controller, might work for PS4 controllers as well
Only Works with THIS steam controller config = steam://controllerconfig/489830/2916936113
Alternatively you can just look for Modern Third Person Controller Controls - Elden Equip, in the Skyrim Steam Controller Community Template Tab
You have 7 Free Keys to use for other Mods (i did not count Elden Equip)
You need to assign the keys in MCM with your Keyboard while controller is unplugged or disabled in the settings
Keys used are the following
G/H = Trackpad Left/Right
X = L1+R1
C = L1+R2
L1+Left = J
L1+Right = L
L1+Up = I
L1+Down = K
Not compatible with Auto Input Switch or any other mod that let you use your keyboard/mouse and controller at the same time (of course mcm keyboard keys will still work while using a controller)


I also corrected the Hud, A is always selecting and B cancelling, L2/R2 is always equip left/ equip right
I will do the Correcting for Racemenu soon. 

Note that bow builds will not work well unless you use Smooths Rapid Bow


If you have any Request or know how to make this Setup better please leave a comment.

For better 3rd Person Gameplay i recommend following Merns Guide on the Skyrim Guild.

Its the first time i uploaded something,
i think i will upload more stuff that come from my Private use in the Future, when i am done with this mod

My Future Plans :
Seperating Gameplay controls with Menu controls from Mods (like Racemenu)
I have fun with the CK maybe i will upload some Magic/Power/Shout Stuff from my private usage
A Spell that lets you load up your Magic Points (i will name it load up your chakra or ki or something). let me know if this exist already
with and without DAR conditions for different animations.
Little Quests for my Magic stuff.
