True Controller Support (K1)

---

True Controller Support adds modern controller support to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic through an ASI plugin.

This mod is designed to add console style controller support for Kotor 1 without the need for external software or steam input.

This major update includes two separate downloads:
- Xbox Controller Support Version
- PlayStation Controller Support Version (Might support other Gamepads but hasn't been tested.)

Main Features
Adds console like controller support to KOTOR with natural analog left stick walk/run movement, horizontal right stick camera control, and D-pad/Touchpad cursor emulation for seamless menu and UI navigation.

Default Controls
Shared Xbox and PlayStation controls:

• LB / L1 = Pause
• RB / R1 = Cursor Select (Left Click)
• LT / L2 = Cycle Target
• RT / R2 = Cycle Target
• Left Stick = Movement
• Right Stick = Camera Movement
• A / Cross = Default Action
• B / Circle = Escape / Game Menu
• Y / Triangle = Cancel Action
• X / Square = Swap Character
• LS / L3 = Flourish Weapon
• RS / R3 = First-Person Free Look
• Start = Escape / Game Menu
• Select / Touchpad = Solo Mode
• Right Stick Up/Down = Cycle through the action menu and floating hotbar (Mouse scroll wheel)

Xbox Version Notes

• Xbox uses the D-pad for cursor emulation
• D-pad directional arrow navigation is disabled by default (This is because the cursor moves at the same time)
• D-pad directional navigation can be enabled in kotorgamepad.ini (It works, but it is slightly janky, so it is disabled by default.)

PlayStation Version Notes

• PlayStation uses the touchpad for cursor emulation by default
• Cursor emulation can be switched to the D-pad in kotorgamepad.ini
• D-pad directional arrow navigation is enabled by default (This works better on PlayStation because cursor emulation is handled by the touchpad)
• Note: Playstation touchpad cursor can be adjusted using the ini file, you got alot of settings, I've made some adjustments myself but haven't really fine tuned it.

Installation and setup:
 

In-Game Settings:

• Set your in-game keybinds and controls to default
