Cyberpunk 2077 Input Loader

This plugin looks for all r6/input/*.xml files and merges them with the appropriate input config file from r6/config/ and saves results to r6/cache/. A configuration file is written to engine/config/platform/pc/input_loader.ini, which tells the game to load the merged .xml files.

Usage

1. Install RED4ext
2. Install Input Loader using the latest release, at red4ext/plugins/
3. Place a mod's custom .xml file in r6/input/
4. Start the game

A log file will be written to red4ext/logs/input_loader.log every start-up, if you're having problems.

Dynamic loading with a RED4ext plugin

Instead of placing .xml files in r6/input/, you can dynamically add an input file from a RED4ext plugin with a path relative to its folder (located at red4ext/plugins/<plugin_name>/inputs.xml):

#include <InputLoader.hpp>

RED4EXT_C_EXPORT bool RED4EXT_CALL Main(RED4ext::PluginHandle aHandle, 
                                        RED4ext::EMainReason aReason, 
                                        const RED4ext::Sdk *aSdk)
{
    switch (aReason) {
        case RED4ext::EMainReason::Load: {
            InputLoader::Add(aHandle, "inputs.xml");
        }
    }
    return true;
}

This will prevent the .xml file from being merged if the RED4ext plugin doesn't load (when the game's version doesn't match, etc).

Node type

Only children of <bindings> are supported currently, but they can all be in the same .xml file (to encourage a mod to have a single .xml file). Depending on the node type, the block will be added to the new inputContexts.xml or inputUserMappings.xml automatically:

inputUserMappings.xml:
* mapping
* buttonGroup
* pairedAxes
* preset

inputContexts.xml:
* blend
* context
* hold
* multitap
* repeat
* toggle
* acceptedEvents

Node attributes

You can add append="true" to a node to avoid overwriting. This is the recommeneded method for adding functionality, as multiple mods will be able to do this without conflicts. See below for an example.

Example .xml file

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<bindings>
    <!-- Defines a custom context with a custom Action, mapped to UseConsumable_Button -->
    <context name="MyCustomContext" >
        <action name="ShakeAroundABit" map="UseConsumable_Button" />
    </context>

    <!-- Adds the custom context to VehicleDrive without overwriting existing definitions -->
    <context name="VehicleDrive" append="true">
        <include name="MyCustomContext" />
    </context>

</bindings>

Uninstallation

You can run red4ext/plugins/input_loader_uninstall.bat, which will delete all of the plugin files, as well as the merged cache files, and the game options file that tells the cache files to be used.
