Gamepad support plugin for Digimon Survive (PC/Steam)

=====================================================



This plugin improves the game’s support for gamepads/controllers of all brands

as well as keyboard/mouse display.



Unsupported controllers now work.  

Missing prompts are added.  

Wrong prompts are corrected.  

Prompts better match hardware.  

You can’t screw up in-game gamepad settings.  

The game’s choice of controller (if you have multiple) is improved.  

The mouse pointer is hidden when unused.



Specifically:



  * The mouse pointer disappears when using a gamepad or keyboard

    and reappears when the mouse is used again.



  * A Joy-Con pair is recognized as a Switch controller, and all controls

    work and have visible on-screen prompts with the official configuration.



  * Steam Deck’s built-in controls and mobile Steam Link’s on-screen touch

    controls work fully and have visible on-screen prompts throughout the

    game with the official configuration, and the on-screen prompts more

    closely match the actual hardware.



  * PlayStation 3 controllers are recognized and work with the official

    configuration. On-screen prompts show the DualShock 4’s buttons.



  * MFi controllers on Apple devices running Steam Link are recognized and

    work. On-screen prompts are styled as for the Xbox One (because that’s

    the default style).



  * A single Joy-Con is recognized and works with the official configuration,

    but because it lacks a ZL/ZR pair, it isn’t enough to beat the game.

    As it also lacks a D-pad, text skipping and auto-advance is unavailable.

    On-screen prompts mostly match the Joy-Con’s hardware layout

    (including plus or minus depending on which Joy-Con it is),

    but some inconsistencies remain and prompts for nonexistent

    controls are still displayed.



  * Other officially unsupported controller types and configurations

    should also have a better chance of working.



  * On-screen prompts never turn into white squares or persist after switching

    to another controller; all unrecognized inputs consistently show

    closest-approximation or default prompts instead.



  * Standard buttons unbound via in-game Gamepad Settings can be rebound

    without resorting to resetting the whole settings page to defaults.



  * In-game Help consistently shows current (remapped) buttons on all screens

    when using a gamepad.



  * PlayStation controllers: the interaction prompt during exploration

    correctly shows “X” instead of “O” if you’re using the default “X”

    binding (or “O” instead of “X” if you genuinely have this action bound

    to “O”). Help pictures still show “O” though.



  * Switch controllers: tutorial instructions correctly show “A”, “B”, “X”

    and “Y” instead of “B”, “A”, “Y” and “X”, and on-screen prompts for stick

    clicks (if you’re using them) consistently show the sticks instead of SL/SR.

    The Switch Pro Controller’s prompts show a proper D-pad and (where possible)

    notchless sticks. Steam has a “Use Nintendo Button Layout” toggle, and both

    of its values are supported, although non-Nintendo layout shows logical

    A/B/X/Y prompts for the Switch Pro Controller but physical B/A/Y/X prompts

    for paired Joy-Cons due to a Steam bug that the mod works around:



    https://steamcommunity.com/groups/bigpicture/discussions/4/3802776070753844269/



  * Steam Controller: all on-screen prompts for

    the right trackpad show “R” instead of “RS”.



  * Keyboard: “Press X or X” tutorial message correctly shows “Press X or Esc”.



  * Controllers connected via Remote Play (including Steam Link) take priority

    over controllers attached to the host computer.



  * Controllers are prioritized by type:

     1. explicitly supported controllers: Xbox, PlayStation,

        Steam Controller, Switch Pro Controller, paired Joy-Con;

     2. generic/unrecognized controllers;

     3. built-in controls on the Steam Deck or mobile Steam Link

        (so that if an external controller attached, it takes over);

     4. single Joy-Con (because it has too few controls).



Some local controllers may not be fully supported by Steam on Windows 7.



Joy-Con support requires Steam client’s 19 Aug 2022 update and shows

swapped A/B and X/Y until some Steam build from late 2022 or early 2023.

(Consider using mod version 1.2 if you have a 2022 build.)



Installing

----------



 1. In your Steam Library, right-click Digimon Survive (or click the gear

    button for Digimon Survive) and select Manage → Browse Local Files

    or Properties → Local Files → Browse. This will open the game’s

    file folder.



 2. Download BepInEx 5 x64 from https://github.com/BepInEx/BepInEx/releases



 3. Copy/extract BepInEx into the game’s folder,

    so that the folder looks like this:



        BepInEx

        DigimonSurvive_Data

        MonoBleedingEdge

        Support

        changelog.txt

        DigimonSurvive.exe

        doorstop_config.ini

        UnityCrashHandler64.exe

        UnityPlayer.dll

        winhttp.dll



 4. Create a “plugins” folder inside the BepInEx folder.



 5. Copy/extract GamepadSupportPlugin.dll into the plugins folder.



 6. If you’re using Linux/Proton (including Steam Deck), open Digimon Survive

    in your Steam Library, press the gear button, select Properties, and put

    this in Launch Options:



        WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=n,b" %command%



That’s it. The mod will be active whenever you launch the game.



Combining with other mods

-------------------------



This can be combined with other mods, including other BepInEx plugins.

Just put all your BepInEx plugins in the same plugins folder.
