Better Gamepad

Palworld's controller layout has a few awkward overlaps that cannot be changed through the normal settings menu.

BetterGamepad makes a small set of targeted controller changes, including melee handling on Square / X, and configurable Riding Skill 3 placement.

WHAT IT CHANGES

• Square / X can also be used for melee attacks

• Riding Skill 3 can be moved to another controller button using the included UserOption.sav presets

• Partner Skill Arming - hold the Partner Skill button before summoning a Pal and the Partner Skill will activate when the Pal appears

IMPORTANT! USEROPTION.SAV

Palworld does not allow Riding Skills to be reassigned through the normal controller settings.

Because of this, BetterGamepad includes several [code]UserOption.sav[/code] presets.

The preset you choose determines which button BetterGamepad uses for Riding Skill 3, so this directly affects how the mod behaves.

INCLUDED PRESETS

Standard:

• Square / X — Riding Skill 3 • D-Pad Up — Riding Skill 3 • R2 / RT — Riding Skill 3 • L1 / LB — Riding Skill 3

For PalWheel users, separate presets are included:

• Square / X — Riding Skill 3 • D-Pad Up — Riding Skill 3 • R2 / RT — Riding Skill 3 • All Riding Skills on D-Pad: - Skill 1 — D-Pad Left - Skill 2 — D-Pad Right - Skill 3 — D-Pad Up

Only use the PalWheel presets if you are using PalWheel.

INSTALLING A USEROPTION PRESET

1. Close Palworld completely.

2. Open the BetterGamepad\Scripts\UserOption Presets\ folder and choose the UserOption preset with the Riding Skill 3 layout you want.

3. Open:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Pal\Saved\SaveGames\[/code]

4. Back up your existing:

[code]UserOption.sav

5. Copy the chosen preset into that folder.

6. Rename it to:

UserOption.sav[/code]

7. Replace the existing file and start Palworld.


[b]Important:[/b]

The included presets are complete UserOption.sav files. Replacing yours may also replace other controller bindings and settings stored in that file.

Keep your original file as a backup.
