This workaround allow better mouse camera control and lock-on problem fix.
Its not ideal, but mouse micro movements feel much smoother and you ll not swap enemies all the time, only with fast enough mouse movements or mouse wheel rotation.

Things that you ll need:

I) Install Mouse_fix from “mouse_disabler” folder:
Place dinput8.dll, dinput8_.dll into the game’s binary directory. (The place where DARKSOULS.exe is)
(this may be something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition\DATA)

II) Install PPJoy:
a) If you have win7 – run Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider.exe from “If_you_have_win7″ folder and start test mode. That necessary to install PPJoy drivers.
Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScuYfagMixU – put Win7 in test mode, to install those drivers.
b) Start PPJoySetup-0-8-4-5.exe and follow istructions.

After installing PPJoy, launch it, than Add virtual joystick:


Than we Mapping it in such way:




Thats all, press done, we wouldnt need to config anything anymore further.

III) Unpack [B]GlowPIE folder somewhere on harddrive, in DarkSouls folder for example.[/B]

To start game:

Disable Steam comunity because mouse disabling mod conflicting with it.

1) Run RunMe.bat from "GlowPIE" folder and press RUN button ( Do not close it )
2) Run Dark Souls

From now on before starting game make sure, that GlowPIE running.


--------------------Uninstall--------------------

Delete dinput8.dll, dinput8_.dll files from game folder to reenable basic mouse control.
PPJoy and GlowPIE uninstalling are optional.


--------------------Technical info--------------------

Concept of workaround:

- mod disabling basic camera movement in game by mouse
- PPJoy creates a virtual joystick.
- GlovePIE using his script reads mouse input and feeds it into PPJoy.
- The game now uses PPJoy's virtual controller to control the camera resulting in much smoother movement and propper target changing in lock-on mode

About GlowPIE script part:


Part with if - my way to deal with joystick deadzone, it is kind of annoying for me when game unresponding for micromovements of mouse so this part add some constant to virtual joystick steer if any movement of mouse present, enough to start camera moving at minimal speed.

After that i just making joysteck steer equal to mouse speed divided to 20 plus that minimum constant preventing deadzone unresponding.

0.4 is a constant i add to any mouse movement to get rid of joystick deadzone

/20 - devider of sensivity, so if you want make camera less sensivity, make it /40 or /100 . You have to repeat it and for second axis.


If someone will come up with better script or overall solution - please share.
