Custom controls
Here will be posted the codes of custom control schemes for mods and plugins.
To add a new scheme to the game, create file with a special name extension [filename].gamepad.overlay and place it to the Gothic\System\ directory.

Help:
- More information about customize the gamepad on Wiki[github.com]
- Recommended to use advanced text editors. For example - Notepad++
- Recommended to use UTF-8 or Unicode encoding


Quickloot
This code allows to assign a quickloot to the gamepad button B (O on dualshock)
If your Quickloot uses button V, then just copy this code. Otherwise, change KEY_V to other.
KeyDisable Controls.Back KeyRecord Id QuickLoot Combination JOY_B Emulation KEY_V, MOUSE_BUTTONRIGHT Condition !Cond_InterfaceIsOpen, !Cond_InventoryIsOpen, !Cond_VideoIsOpen, !JOY_B

Quicksave/Quickload
The scheme allows to use R+UP for quicksave and R+DOWN for quickload the game. For this, you must have a special plugin/patch or enabled the quick save option in Gothic.ini > useQuickSaveKeys=1 (the second case is not recommended due to possible break the save file).
The scheme uses quick save buttons F5 (save) and F9 (load).
KeyDisable Controls.FirstPerson KeyRecord Toggled Id QuickSave Combination JOY_RSTICK, JOY_UP Emulation KEY_F5 Condition !Cond_InterfaceIsOpen, !Cond_InventoryIsOpen, !Cond_VideoIsOpen KeyRecord Toggled Id QuickLoad Combination JOY_RSTICK, JOY_DOWN Emulation KEY_F9 Condition !Cond_InterfaceIsOpen, !Cond_InventoryIsOpen, !Cond_VideoIsOpen

Slow walking controlled by the left stick
This scheme returns walking function on the LEFT STICK as in the oldest versions of the plugin. For the walking hold the stick down to half. This function unavailable with the readied weapon.
KeyDisable Controls.WalkForward KeyRecord Id WalkForward Combination JOY_LSTICK_LOWUP Emulation GAME_SLOW, GAME_UP

So the problem with this is assuming the base controls.gamepad file is the one in the repo at https://github.com/Gratt-5r2/zGamePad/blob/master/Utils/controls.gamepad , none of the KeyRecord entries have an Id property, so there is nothing to reference with KeyDisable. Is there an updated controls.gamepad file that's used by the mod elsewhere that does have the Id properties? I'm unable to view the distributed VDF file itself as GothicVDFS.exe says it is an expected version.

GothicVDFS cannot open this volume because it was packed with VDFS tool[drive.google.com] using zip compression.
I'll update controls file in the repo later, it's really outdate.

sorry for the late answer so the mod is this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2787109635&searchtext=dauerhaft

what it does is give me the option to sprint indefinately as long as i have the requirements

the standart button for it was right shift

I checked gothic.ini and steam settings, I see key prompts in the game, but the gamepad doesn't work. It's an old gamepad, but I've set it up manually before and it worked. However, I care about quickloot buttons etc

If your controller doesn't work at all, then the problem maybe with outdated protocols. Plugin requires or xinput compatible gamepad, or console controller. Try the issue from the first comments on the plugin page. Maybe you need a special configuration from the steam input.

When pressing forwards on the analog stick and RB at the same time, the character turns to look behind the player. How do I disable this?

I checked this code, it work as expected. I have overrided behaviour of the F1-F4 buttons. How exactly it 'doesn't do anything' for you? Maybe you need to check how the coop modification handles this buttons.

If I understand it right, there is no "basic" file, is there?

I am looking for a file to check, whether the bindings for my Legion Go S are correct. Because Gothic definitely doesn't work with the Legion Go S.

У меня на геймпаде есть дополнительные клавиши, я так понимаю их невозможно заставить работать в игре? Пробовал переделать кнопку на ускорение x3 с RB на доп. клавишу, но меняя в файле KEY_Z на что-то другое - при запуске готики оно сбрасывается на начальное значение

Если я правильно понял, это какой-то плагин Хедина, который на клавиатуре по умолчанию привязывается на KEY_Z и дополнительно содержит конфиг на RB.
Решения два:
1. быстрое: открыть архив плагина Хедина и посмотреть название файла .gamepad.overlay и создать в system пустой файл с точно таким же именем. Это заставит zGamePad загружать физический файл с пустой конфигурацией.
2. сложнее: открыть архив плагина, взять имя оверлея Хедина, найти в нем необходимый параметр, сделать свой оверлей, в нем KeyDisable имя_исходного_оверлея.имя_рекорда_на_rb.

Дальше ты должен настроить доп кнопку на своем контроллере на эмуляцию клавиши Z клавиатуры, так как эти кнопки на то и доп, что ты сам биндишь их на что хочешь.
