This guide will show you how to play the game using Keyboard and Mouse with the help of AutoHotkey v2.
Requirements
– AutoHotkey v2[github.com]
I would also advice to change your keyboard bindings first on the launcher settings. You can use mine for reference.
For Vanilla/Style Switcher 2.4.3 and below:
For Style Switcher 3.0+, edit StyleSwitcher.ini file:
Instructions
- Install AutoHotkey v2 and AutoHotkey Dash will launch afterwards.
- Click New Script > name it something like “DMC3SE 2006 KBM” > click Edit and select Notepad or any text editor that you’re comfortable with.
- Copy and paste this script:
; ----------------------------------------------------------------- ; Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition (PC 2006) ; ----------------------------------------------------------------- #HotIf WinActive("ahk_exe dmc3se.exe") ;1 ; Item Screen/Trickster ;2 ; File Screen/Gunslinger ;3 ; Equip Screen/Royalguard ;4 ; Map Screen/Swordmaster X::N ; [X] Devil Trigger (LB) LShift::Space ; [LShift] Lock-On (RB) XButton1::Q ; [Mouse Button 4] Change Guns (LT) XButton2::E ; [Mouse Button 5] Change Devil Arms (RT) LButton::I ; [LMB] Melee (Y) RButton::J ; [RMB] Shoot (X) MButton::L ; [MMB] Style Action (B) Space::K ; [Space] Jump (A) T::M ; [T] Taunt (Back/View) Pause::Suspend ; [Pause] Suspend Script #HotIf - Save the script in the Notepad.
- The logic of this script is that if AutoHotkey v2 with the script and DMC3SE are running in the background, these keybinds will be in effect as well so if you want to suspend the script to use your keyboard normally, press Pause on your Keyboard or right-click AutoHotkey from the hidden icons in the taskbar then Suspend. This is also a good solution if you’re worried that the script will affect other programs.
- Head to the location of the script (Default location: %SystemDrive%\Users\%Username%\Documents\AutoHotkey) and run the script.
- Run the game to test.
You can still use the original keybinds while you’re in the game.
