How to adjust the controller configuration

MY Custom PS3 Layout

This is the layout I'm using to play the game

This gives you...
LB = Aim Knife
RB = Aim Gun
RT = Map
A = Run
X = Action
Y = Command Ashley
B = Status/Inventory
Start = Options/Skip Videos

Copy and paste the below into your input.ini file...

Original GC Layout

This gives you...
LT (L2) = Aim Knife
RB (R1) = Map
RT (R2) = Aim Gun
A (Cross) = Action
X (Square) = Run
Y (Triangle) = Status/Inventory
B (Circle) = Command Ashley
Start (Start) = Options/Skip Videos

Bugs include...

Map Screen

Overall/Detail View = A (Cross)
Select Marker On/Off = A (Cross)
Exit Select Marker Screen = X (Square)

Inventory

Move Selection = B (Circle)

Bottle Top Viewer

Sound = B (Circle)

Copy and paste the below into your input.ini file...

Thank you for the great work and compiling an easy to follow guide! The controls were driving me crazy and I didn't want to have to resort to using a program like Motionjoy to remap things like with the old PC version. Luckily this release supports more advanced control mapping. Just need for somebody more resourceful than I to figure out how to put in custom button prompts like with that version.

Your PS2 layout is great, though not entirely accurate to the game's controls, so here's my version. Just fixed one thing, in the PS2 version square and circle were used interchangeably, and it is tough for me to play without being able to switch between them. As far as I can tell, it is entirely accurate to the PS2 edition controls now.

EDIT: Shoot, I just played a boulder QTE and the double press event is still using the triggers, and not L1 and R1 like in the PS2 game. Any idea how to change that? Otherwise, everything is perfect besides on screen prompts.

Can someone help me configure my xbox360 as this?

RT = Aim Knife
LT = Aim Gun
back = Map
X = Run (& Reload gun when aiming)
A = Action
B = Command Ashley
Y = Status/Inventory
Start = Options/Skip Videos


i would also like to keep
A = equip (in inventory)
X = cancel/exit (in inventory)

thanks to anyone who will help me because i already got lost trying to change settings

OK, I have discovered a massive error with all my mods that switch A and X buttons
When Run is moved to X the game won't let you reload (Button does nothing) even though it works for run.

Looks like we have some more to learn still about the configuration file for RE4UHD.

Why does Capcom like to make configuring buttons a pain in the ass?
I thought RE5 was horrid, but this take the cake.

Why couldn't it be like RE6, that was an absolute joy to button mod.
RE4UHD just makes you wanna pull your fucking hair out.



Sorry, had a brain fart.
I was trying to reload a gun I had ran out of ammo for.

I feel like a complete idiot right now.
LOL

I'll have the config your after REAL soon.

"When Run is moved to X the game won't let you reload (Button does nothing) even though it works for run."


>>>   ROFL that exactly what happened to me when i tried to change the buttons configuration  
(and basically the reason why i said "i got lost"      -not to feel too much of an idiot   xD    )

thanks for giving me that buttons configuration Samus ^^
i am going to try it right now       you are very helpful



edit: i am coming back, so here is the thing.
i was wrong when saying i wanted to "aim with gun" on L trigger and to "aim with knife" on R trigger.
(actually i am using a dualshock3 with motioninjoy program to emulate the xbox360 controller, and i thought my L1 button was inverted with L2 in motioninjoy settings -and same with R1/R2, but they weren't !!)
Anyway... I successfully -thanks to you Samus- managed to revert L1/L2 and R1/R2 in the RE4 ini.file thing (for button configuration) with all what you said in the beginning of this topic.

HOWEVER there was something weird with your configuration Samus (that will also be a trouble maker when playing on mercenaries):
    When i wanted to bash a door with Leon's kick, instead of just "tapping fast" the button i am using to open the door -"A" button on x360 controller, or cross button on ps3 controller, with the new button config'- i was first obliged to press the "A" button (as to open the door slowly) then press the "X" button (the one i m using to make Leon run, which is not the action button)
YES that's sounds like a combo breaker !!!!
i was forced to hit 2 buttons to break into doors (and there was an order for that which will make me be killed in mercenary for sure...)
BUT i finally found what was the problem:
the line      KEY_CK = QKEY_GC_B11     had to be set to       KEY_CK = QKEY_GC_B9

it s now working perfect !

so here is the final config' for people who want tu use the following configuration:
LB (or L1 for ps3 dualshock3) = aim gun
RB (or R1 for ds3) = aim knife
A (or cross for ds3)= action/shoot
X (or square for ds3) = run/cancel
back (or select for ds3) = map
start (idem for ds3) = pause/options
Y (or triangle for ds3) = inventory
B (or circle for ds3) = command Ashley
note that Triggers on your pad will be used in inventory to swap from normal items to key items

The move items button seems to be tied with another button much like how run and reload are the same button.
In this case the Map button in the ini also adjusts the move item button.

You will not likely get a perfect controller configuration and will find some bugs.

The biggest thing is the buttons for shoulder button QTE events don't move to L1/R1 when you move them from LT/RT.
There seems to be no setting for them in the ini file so they can't be changed.
