About:
Hello fellow Witchers,

This is Just Another Controller Layout (JACL in short) for The Witcher 3.
After playing 15hrs with the not so good stock controls, I thought about changing them.
Since the Game is pretty new, there were only 2 other suitable control layouts.
Frankly, they inspired me to make my own since both not suited me 100%.
Make no mistake, I would've never uploaded my first "mod" if they had not inspired me! Both Zarythe and YoshimitsuYamada delivered superior support and answered roughly 100 of my questions, so big thanks to both of them!
All I did was changing the controls to my liking. 

What drove me to do this?
Well, on the one hand, I never really played Dark Souls, so Yoshimitsu's Layout wasn't the most intuitive for me (no offense). 
Zarythe on the other hand made a rather stock control with slightly Dark Souls influences, so to speak a crossover.
I did not try to keep anything like a specific game whatsoever. I just wanted to make it consistent. 
Of course my layout won't be that different on the others, hence there is not so much ways of laying the few buttons out.
LT for example is superior for galloping, so I kept it and used it for sprint, fast swim, and accelerating the boat.


TL;DR:
Took most elements of Zarythe's and Yoshimitsu's configs and made my own. 

Compatability:
This definitely works with Xbox (One) Controllers, PlayStation Controllers should work too, although I haven't tested it. Since you emulate the Xbox controller with them, there should be no compatibility issues.

Installation:
1. Extract the content of the zipped folder to:
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\The Witcher 3
2. Overwrite if prompted
3.If you were not prompted to overwrite an existing file, you made a mistake.





IMPORTANT:

ALWAYS make a backup of your "input.settings"
-Be aware, you will lose all your specific keyboard settings, since this file overwrites your keybinding file.
There is only one file for the gamepad and the keyboard. 
-I activated write protection on that file, because my game tend to mess up my config. If you want to make changes (text editor or in-game), disable write protection first
-Not final, if you find bugs, pls report them to me so I can fix them.

- A patch might reverse this mod, so back it up before patching!



Known Issues:

-Sometimes the Y for picking the spell won't work. So does the crossbow. I'm trying to figure why.

-My English
