Click HERE if you want the Style Switcher mod for the DMC HD Collection 2018 PC port.

DMC3SE PC 2006 Mods Starter Pack for compiled version.

Requirements:
Download and install everything. It is also required to restart your computer just to be sure.

Installation:
  1. After downloading and installing all the requirements and updating the game, download the Style Switcher v3.1.6 mod.
  2. Extract the contents of the "bin" folder into the DMC3SE game folder.
  3. Run "install.bat".
  4. A prompt will appear that allows you to choose between "0. dinput8.dll" or "1. dsound.dll".
  5. Enter "1".
  6. After choosing, the necessary files will be moved to different folders while the irrelevant ones will be moved to the "_Restore" folder.
  7. Navigate to the "_Restore" and move "GPadCfg.exe" and "DMC3SE.ini" outside the folder so it will return to the default directory.
  8. For XInput/Xbox Controller users, see the guide below.
    For DirectInput Controller users, use GPadCfg.
    For Generic Controller users, use an XInput wrapper program (XOutput/X30CE) and HidHide then use the XInput guide below.
XInput/Xbox Controller Fix:
  1. Download and extract XInput Plus.
  2. Run XInput Plus as Admin
  3. Cick Select beside Target Program and find DMC3SE.exe.
  4. Go to the DirectInput tab and tick the Enable DirectInput Output.
  5. Click the drop-down button beside LT/RT and select Button 11/12.
  6. Click the drop-down button beside GUIDE and select Button 13.
  7. Click Customize then do the following:
    Left Stick-X = Y_Axis
    Left Stick-Y = X_Axis
    • OPTIONAL: Head to Setting tab > Others > disable the Enable Init Beep.
  8. Click on Apply button, confirm everything and close XInput Plus.
    New files will appear in the game folder (dinput.dll, dinput8.dll, XInput1_3.dll and XInputPlus.ini).
  9. Launch GPadCfg and assign the buttons.
  10. For XInput/Xbox controllers, click the Reverse Icon to fix the Analog Sticks.
    Otherwise, disable it if the Right Analog moves the character.
  11. Double-click the Save icon to Save the config.
    Open DMC3SE.ini via Notepad to check if the controller config was added.
  12. Run the game.

NOTE: If you want to utilize the mod features of the game, read the "documentation.html" and customize the values inside "StyleSwitcher.ini". Style Switcher and Weapon Switcher are disabled by default if you want to play the game with Vanilla experience.

Uninstallation:
  1. Run "uninstall.bat" and every file and folder will be restored to the default state. The mod will be removed as well.
