Xbox 360 controller prompts

Add Xbox 360 controller prompts to Dynasty Warriors 8 - Empires

Installation

1. Download the mod from here[www.dropbox.com]

2. Navigate to the game directory. (You can easily find the directory by right clicking the game in your steam library and selecting: Properties->Local Files->Browse Local Files...)

3. Unpack the contents of the file you downloaded inside the game directory.

4. Start Patch.bat, you might need to start it as administrator, and choose if you want to backup LINKDATA0.BIN and LINKDATA.IDX.

5. After first launching the game you will have to go Options->Controls->Button Settings and bind the buttons to the one you see beside each action. This mod uses the same button mapping as the Xbox One version of the game, but since the PC version seems to be based on the Japanese PS3 version this means that the A and B button will be switched in menus but correct during gameplay.

6. Done.

Acknowledgement

This mod uses the button icons from the "FREE Keyboard and controllers prompts pack" by xelu[opengameart.org]

For those who are struggling to apply patch.bat - please run game first at least once

@Mr Jack Dandy, don't run as admin, it won't work, despite what the guide says. The script SHOULD work as admin but doesn't, Steam won't let me type why, too many words for it.

You could also just skip the script, go into the CMD directly, change directory to he game's folder, and just run the Linkdata patcher manually.

These are the main commands the script runs:

LinkdataPatcher.exe LINKDATA_EU_OS_EUNA.C 31.dat 31
LinkdataPatcher.exe LINKDATA_EU_OS_EUNA.C 57.dat 57
LinkdataPatcher.exe LINKDATA_EU_OS_EUNA.C 83.dat 83
LinkdataPatcher.exe LINKDATA_EU_OS_EUNA.C 109.dat 109
LinkdataPatcher.exe LINKDATA_EU_OS_EUNA.C 135.dat 135

If you do it this way, it won't automatically back up the file, but just copy it somewhere.

I'm not a dev for this tool. I don't know exactly what the linkdata patcher is doing here, but the linkdata files are giant proprietary archives, so I can imagine they work like XDelta patches.

tried to follow this exact, ran as admin, gave error it couldn't open anything. this does not work

Worked well when I used this a while back but tried to download it recently and the download does not seems accessible.

Nice got this to work under Linux.

You can run the bat file if you have native wine installed and rung "wine cmd" and navigate where the game is located with the patched.

@Not Snake, that issue is caused by running the patch as admin. Don't run batch files as admin unless required, because the working directory is changed when you do that, and patches like this rely on the current folder being the working directory.

[Not Snake]

This is so stupid, but for anyone who can't get it to work when running patch.bat as an administrator (Error saying LINKDATA0.bin cant be found) literally drag and drop the files onto patch.dat and it should work.

If any1 is having issues getting this to work, do the following:

1. Move the following files from the game into a folder in your desktop:
LINKDATA.IDX
LINKDATA0.BIN

2. Move the files from this mod into that same folder you just created with those two files.

3. Run the patcher as instructed in this page.

4. Move the two files from step 1 back into the game folder.

My issue was that I had the game installed in a different directory than C, apparently.

I hope that helps everyone with issues.

[Saucy Puppet Show]

Doesn't seem to work, unfortunately. Command prompt simply tells me it can't open LINKDATA0.bin.

And yes, I am running it as administrator.

You made the game playable for me.
