Installation:
1. Extract the files
2. Copy the folder "modCDMRedux" into your game directory mods folder (e.g. C:\GOG\The Witcher 3\Mods - your directory may be different from this, but should end with "The Witcher 3\Mods")
3. If a Mods folder doesn't exist, simply create it.
4. If you are running other mods that modify the combat.ws file, you will need to merge with ScriptMerger. If you're unsure, use ScriptMerger to see if there are any conflicts.
5a. It is recommended that you create a backup of your input.settings file (should be located in your documents folder e.g. This PC\Documents\The Witcher 3) in another location or copy it to the same folder and rename it input_backup.settings or something similar. This is helpful if you intend to eventually uninstall this mod.
5b. Copy the entire contents of the input.settings to the bottom of your original input.settings file. It should automatically rearrange appropriately when you run the game.
6. Copy and paste the following into the inputs.xml file found at The Witcher 3\bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc\, just above the line "<!-- [BASE_CharacterMovement] -->"

// modCDMRedux
<Var builder="Input" id="DistanceModifier" displayName="CDM_input_Modifier" displayType="INPUTPC" actions="DistanceModifier" />

Save and close the file.

Uninstallation:
1. Remove the entire mod from your mods folder.
2. If you used ScriptMerger to run this mod, open ScriptMerger and click 'Yes' when it prompts you to delete the combat.ws merge (this should happen automatically). You must then re-merge any other mods that affected combat.ws
3. If you backed up your input.settings file, use the backup to overwrite your current input.settings file. If you did not backup your input.settings file, you can simply look for any line containing "DistanceModifier" and delete those lines, then save the file.
