Hello guys, remember Psychonauts and PsychoPad?

Just select game folder and press Extract\Install

Currently there is a little issue with aligment of text in gamepad menu, if someone knows and would tell me where should i look for file and which tools i should use to change positions of text in menues, i will fix it, also there is a little bit unifinished design of installer, that why i called it a beta.


Here some screenshots of proper xinput UI in game:

Nice. I'll definitely try it out once all the glitches are fixed in the game.

[v00d00m4n]

That will take a lot of time, judging by how DF usually does it.

You know what is strange? all assets are in game, and game should definetly switch to PC- xbox UI mode, but it seems script that select right UI is just bugged and they dont even bother to do an easy fix and nobody even playtested it well before release.

Shame that non of LUA decompillers work on scripts in this game, i would love to fix this bug directly in scripts, instead of using texture swap trick.

Double Fine's official stance is that this is just a (pants-on-head stupid) design decision made by them early in the development cycle.

It probably has something to do with their partnership with Sony which also makes this decision pretty damn cynical as regards their own customers. Then again, all this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, considering DF's track record.

[v00d00m4n]

This is clearly a false statement, just a cover up story, im pretty sure they just dont want to mess up with fixing this non critical bug.

If this was a design decision, there would not be assets of xbox 360 controller with PC prefix\suffix in a name, and i dont see any advantages of sony or df for this. Sounds like bad excuse for lazy straight from PS4 port.

Anyway, with my patch you can get rid of this problem, and if only i would have tool to edit scripts or another file tha defines positions of text, i would fix minor issue with position of button functions in help screen. Oh wait, i just realised, that i need to swap BACK and RS button for mode switch, since on xbox contoller help screen it points to back, not to RS.

I don't like running unofficial installers. Can you please upload a simple zip/rar-version? Would be awesome!

[v00d00m4n]

Open it within winrar

Thank you! Great work.

[HideoKoncima]

Does it works with all languages?

[v00d00m4n]

should, but i have not tested, install it and tell me if it works

[wallbears]

Nice Job! You should make a guide.

Never d-l xinput.dll or any other from third party only use Microsoft. If you do get an 'xinput missing' error, what u actually need to do is to get all needed updates of the DirectX End User Runtime.

[Ritchey#228471]

Who exactly is talking about xinput.dll?

[Xyzzy]

me, aside info, not @ Op.

Thank you so much Voodooman! Grim Fandango runs very smooth on my XB1 controller. I also downloaded your Psychonauts patch too. It also works well. Thank you again.
