Shark Tale - Controller enhance patch

Patch that enhances controller experience for Shark Tale game

Instructions:
 

1. Download archive
2. Move files from "Documents game folder" folder inside the archive to the users\%userprofile%\Documents\Shark Tale
3. Add the game to the Steam as Non-steam game and run the game only from steam.

Notes:

1. Running a game without adding it to the Steam as a non-steam game

Game, if used without being added to the Steam as a non-steam game - supports only Xbox controllers. For generally better experience it is recommended to add game to the Steam and use whichever controller you prefer!

- Using Xbox controller without steam though will lead to a problem: camera starts spinning while using controller. Same applies for emulation of any other controller as an Xbox controller (DualSense for example). Here is the solution for this problem:

• Open User.ini and change DeadZone parameter of the JoyR and JoyU lines to the value of 1.
  Should be like so:

  JoyR=Axis aBaseX SpeedBase=9.0 DeadZone=1
  ; ^X axis of the right stick (left and right)
  JoyU=Axis aLookUp SpeedBase=6.0 DeadZone=1 Invert=-1
  ; ^Y axis of the right stick (Up and down)

   

- If you want to use any other controller while running the game outside of steam, please, copy xinput9_1_0.dll file from Support for non-xbox controllers folder in archive to  *Game installation path*\Shark Tale\System

• Still requires to apply fix for camera spinning mentioned above!

2. Adjusting sensitivity for sticks (and modifying controls in general):

You can modify both sensitivity for left and right sticks and mapping for any button of the controller in User.ini.

To adjust sensitivity:
Change SpeedBase parameter for JoyR and JoyU lines:
JoyR=Axis aBaseX SpeedBase=9.0 DeadZone=1
; ^X axis of the right stick (left and right)
JoyU=Axis aLookUp SpeedBase=6.0 DeadZone=1 Invert=-1
; ^Y axis of the right stick (Up and down)

For button mapping:
Every button were marked right in the document so you can copy input data from one button and move it to another.
Example:
I want to change A button mapping to X and vise-versa:

Joy1=Fire | Use
; ^A

Joy3=LaunchUrchin
; ^X

I have to change to:

Joy1=LaunchUrchin
; ^A

Joy3=Fire | Use
; ^X

3. Default button mapping layout:

A - Dash/Interact
B - Skip cutscene
X - Throw
Y - [none]
LB - Dash/Interact
RB - Dash/Interact
LT - Camera left
RT - Camera right
Select - [none]
Start - pause menu
Left Stick - Movement
Right Stick - Camera control
