Since updating the game from 1.22 to 1.31 it overwrite the input.xml file and I noticed the Mod was still working. So I have removed the step about adding configuration to the input.xml file in the original installation instructions.
If you are having issues with the Mod not working you may need to add the configuration to the input.xml file. If you needed to do this step please let me know and I will add it back to the main installation instructions.
Below is the additional installation step about adding configuration to the input.xml file:
Add the following lines to the file input.xml located in "<Path To The Witcher 3>\bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc\". You should paste the line at the beginning of the file, the line just after the block "<VisibleVars>":
I see you have the issue in the description -> " - Option in config file to Enable Switching Crossbow Bolt Feature (like in vanilla game) using R-Thumbstick. WARNING: There is a small graphical glitch which keeps the crossbow bolts icon displayed in the radial menu even after you switch to a different item type in middle slot. "
I have this setting to "false" but im still getting the crossbow stuck. Ill select a bomb and while in the radial menu I can see on the bottom left, under my food up and down buttons the bomb is selected for RB, as soon as I exit the radial menu its back to a crossbow, not letting me throw bombs. Help please, I love this mod.
It sounds like another mod maybe interferring or an issue with keybindings / conflicting keybindings.
It sounds like this Mod is working as the bomb gets automatically equipped when you switched to it during the radial menu open but the crossbow got automatically equipped only when you exited the radial menu, so my thought is:
- What button do you use to close the radial menu e.g. do you press B button or the radial menu button? Maybe this button is also configured to fast equip the crossbow when it gets pressed.
Do you have any other key bindings that equip the crossbow or fast switch to crossbow ... maybe the keybindings are clashing and you need to choose another key/button to use? This Mod uses Y button on controller to switch item type in the slot in the radial menu. Also if you are using a controller helper applicaiton like antimicro to send keyboard buttons to the game then check what antimicro keyboard button is configured to send to the game when the Y button is pressed on the gamepad. Also do the same check with the button you used for closing the radial menu e.g. B button or Radial menu button; in case this is also conflicting.
Also do you have any other mods that automatically equip the crossbow or make changes to the radial menu? This could be causing an issue.
Some other things you could check:
- Make sure you have the keybindings set up correclty in your input settings file as per Step 3 of install instructions. If you have conflicting keybindings you may need to choose an alternate button based on your set up.
- Make sure you have at least a bomb equipped in your main inventory bomb slot (either slot 1 or slot 2) if you dont have any bombs equipped then it wont show up in your radial menu and cant switch to it in the middle slot. You should then be able to switch through your equipped items in the radial menu by highligthing the middle slot and then press Y button on controller. The middle icon should display the bomb item and will automatically equip the item to bomb slot 1 (i think bomb slot 2 is unequipped so only 1 bomb icon gets shown when you switch through the middle slot).
- Check if you have any other Mods that make changes to hudModuleRadialMenu.ws
The issue sounds like it could be another Mod conflicting. Or an issue with conflicting keybindings in your input.settings file used by another Mod. Or if you use an external application like Antimicro which is triggering a different button than you expect.
- What other Mods do you have installed? - Do any of them have a feature such as fast equip or fast switch the crossbow or bombs? I believe FriendlyHUD Mod has a feature like this. - If you do have a Mod that does something like quick swap crossbow or bombs, which button is mapped to this feature? - Does this button conflict with any buttons configured for this Mod or the same button you use to close the Radial menu? If it does you may need to choose an alternate button to map to it. See step 3 of install steps to see which buttons this Mod uses when the Radial menu is opened. - You can check button mappings in your input.settings file. - Do you have a custom input.settings file or made any other changes to it that may affect the crossbow or bombs selection? - Do you use an external gamepad helper application like Antimicro or JoyToKey or Xpadder; that you use to set up additional key mappings. Could these be conflicting with the buttons configured for this Mod. - Do you have any Mods that make changes to hudModuleRadialMenu.ws file. - Double check you have correct hotkey mappings in your input.settings file as per the Install instructions. - You can test this Mod in isolation by reverting the input.settings file back to the original vanilla game set up (make a backup of the file first if you have a custom version of it) and remove any other Mods installed. Then test the Mod so it is the only one installed. If it is working, you can slowly add back your other Mods one at a time and perform a test each time to see which Mod may be conflicting or casuing the issue.
