06 Port Setup Tutorial

Prerequisites

Supported Versions

The game must be patched into 1.3

Installation

  • The port is missing a few BGM files so before Installing StyleSwitcher, you take the sound folder from HQ Music fix and extract the sound folder to <path-to-game>
  • Move or copy the contents of StyleSwitcher to your Devil May Cry 3 root directory. Typically this is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Devil May Cry 3
  • Run install.bat
  • It will ask you to select a loader at the end, type the corresponding number and hit enter to confirm.
  • If you will only use your keyboard, select dinput8.dll
  • Choose dsound.dll if you want to use a XInput device.

XInput Setup (Controllers)

  • Extract and run XInput Plus
  • Click on Select.
  • Navigate to your Devil May Cry 3 root directory, highlight dmc3se.exe by clicking on it and click on Open.
  • Click on DirectInput.
  • Tick the check box labelled 'Enable DirectInput Output'.
  • Click on the drop-down button right next to LT/RT.
  • Select Button 11/12 from the drop-down list.
  • Below that, click on the drop-down button right next to GUIDE.
  • Select Button 13.
  • Click on Apply.
  • Confirm.

.ini File Modifications

  • Next, download the fix from the SRC Resource and replace the DMC3SE.ini
  • Open XInputPlus.ini from Devil May Cry 3 root directory with notepad.
  • Scroll down until you reach the X2DInput section

Replace 

 LS_X=X_Axis
 LS_Y=Y_Axis

With 

 LS_X=Y_Axis
 LS_Y=X_Axis
  • Save and close the file.

Uninstallation

  • Navigate to your Devil May Cry 3 root directory and run uninstall.bat
  • This will also delete your scripts and XInput Plus so back those up if you want to keep them.

Configuration

Settings can be changed by editing the StyleSwitcher.ini file. The file contains multiple sections, each representing a specific target. An entry within a section typically looks like name=value, where value is of a specific data type

If you installed 2.4.3. then that version is configured to enable the style switching mod itself and disable music and cutscenes. To enable music and cutscenes change the values of these parameters to these: 

StyleSwitcher=0
SkipIntro=0
DisableBGMEngine=0
SkipCutscene=0
EnableHotkeys=0 (prevents F1, F2 and F3 from removing HUD, giving everything invincibility or one-touch-death)
HideCursor=1
DEVIL_AIR_HIKE=1
DEVIL_AIR_TRICK=1
DEVIL_SKY_STAR=1

These affect the graphical effects, such as fog (M8), lighting and blur. If you have lighting turned on, the bosses in M18 will be colored the same as the background making them hard to see: 

DisableFogOverlay=1
ForceDynamicLighting=0
DisableBlurOverlay=1
