Switch Pro Controller mod help

[Joeynator3000]

Hi, me again, that guy no one knows or cares about. lol

Anyways I'm trying to get back into this game, I decided to start over and see if I can like this game more. I'm also trying to get into more weapons, but...it's just becoming highly annoying.

Here's the issue, if I do custom controls via Steam's...thing, then the in-game UI will be all wrong and make things even more confusing. I'm using the Switch Pro Controller, and not only that I'm used to those controls. They're basically flipped in World and it's bugging the crap out of me, lol.

I can't tell you how many times I've died simply because I'm trying to do a panic dive and fail at it because of flipped controls. lol (Or I rush in to attack only to put away my weapon or waste an item)

Icebourne better have in-game custom controls for Steam, is there a mod that would change the UI based on your custom controls, or is that impossible? If my other PC controller didn't have crappy shoulder buttons that made your fingers ache in 10 seconds I'd use that....*sighs*

EDIT: Changing the title now, lol

Right-click on the game in your library and choose the customize controller option. There will be suggested options, pick the top one for the Switch (can't remember the name of it).

Your controls should be OK during fights, but the buttons will be reversed when looking at the screen prompts in town etc. Nothing that can be done about that unfortunately.

I've since started using an Xbox controller and really the only thing to get used to is where the A/B buttons are, but at least the on screen prompts are correct.

google 'monster hunter nexus mod switch pro contoller prompts'

first link for me was a mod that does what you are asking for . i have not tested it to see if its working, but it should be an easy fix

So it does exist, then. I'm kinda done for the day, but I'll try and remember to look at that then...let me know if you do try it, though.

[Joeynator3000]

...I don't know what's going on, because I did exactly what the readme file said and the mod doesn't work.

Don't tell me I have to get rid of Special K for this to work...

You put the nativepc folder in the base game directory where the exe is, right?

Yup, and nothing...absolutely no changes whatsoever. I'm even using the flipped buttons version. Yet they're not flipped at all...

[Seamus]

Odd. Special K doesn't interfere with mods at all, though.

Delete your nativepc folder and try the non-flipped version perhaps? It really should be a "It just works" situation as long as the files are in the right location.

[Joeynator3000]

I tried both, unless there's something else I'm supposed to do here?

[Seamus]

Not really, no. With the exception of custom quests, everything modding related in MH World is just extracting a zip/rar and throwing it in the nativePC folder.

I'm stumped, frankly.

Let me go grab that mod and see if it works for me.

[Joeynator3000]

I feel like I do need to change a setting or something in Steam, but I tried that via the Picture thing....but it just makes things even more confusing. lol

Seems to be working fine for me. Though, I'm using a usb connected xbox one controller, not my switch pro controller.

That shouldn't have any effect on things as the mod is just a simple texture replacement.

[Joeynator3000]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, then...ugh...

[Joeynator3000]

.....I don't know what I did this time, but non-flipped version works now....? Wat? lol

I'm guessing you have to disable the "Nintendo layout" setting on big picture, that's probably what was causing issues.

[Seamus]

Well, I'm glad you got one of them working at least.

[Joeynator3000]

...Gonna restart the game first, but apparently I ran into some weird issue where I can't interact with anyone/thing in Astera with the A button...
