Guild Wars 2

I’ve been working on scripts so that you can use a Wiimote Plus and Nunchuck to control your character in Guild Wars 2. This is for anyone to enjoy and the download link is posted below.

The inspiration came from the prospective ideas of other immersive games and concepts, and being a programmer it really felt like this should’ve been done already. But, as many people with a wii know, there aren’t actually that many “good” motion control games. So I decided to try it, and after a few weeks I’ve nailed down the tweaks and have a few class + weapon combinations done, with a few more coming out tonight, and more over the weeks as I want to make them and people ask for them. (I need to make a program that can put these together with a nice GUI though).

These aren’t 100% perfect, but they’ve been thoroughly tested to be as accurate to the actual character’s swings and attacks in-game. It also isn’t meant to increase your in-game ability, you most certainly will not be able to defeat an equal player who is using a keyboard and mouse. It’s meant to bring you into the game, and I’ve really enjoyed it and hope other people will as well. I’ve even taken down a champion using the wiimote. You are responsible if you destroy anything using the wiimotion controls.

How can I use my motions to play?
For one, the basic things like character movement, jumping, and gathering are still handled with buttons. Your skills, 1 though 9 (and your elite, 0) are activated by a combination of “skill buttons” and motions. The wiimote has 2 skill buttons, A and B. The nunchuck has one, Z.
Right (R-) Skill – Wiimote B
Left (L-) Skill – Nunchuck Z
Alt (A-) Skill – Wiimote A
I’ve mapped attacks so that they match the animation in-game. The right skill is typically used with right-handed attacks, left skill with left-hand attacks, and the alt skill for utilities. In-depth example: Warrior Axe/Mace
To use skill 3, the axe throw, you hold your R skill button (because you’re using your right-hand weapon) and flick your wrist down like you’re throwing it. The slight downward motion + angle change is what the wiimote is looking for. To use 4, hold L skill and swing left (Left means the left side of the nunchuck, so if you held the nunchuck sideways and swing to your left it would not work. Motions are relative to the controller). To use 5, which is a ground slam with your mace, hold L skill and swing down. Make sense?

Feedback appreciated

Who do I sue if I smack my wii remote on my monitor?

You probably need a wider space if that’s a question

Ha that is pretty cool.

That’s pretty neat.

Unfortunetly this Glovepie is essentially a macro application for rebinding the Wii movements to keyboard/mouse controls. I’ve been infracted numerous times previously for mentioning far, far simpler keybind changes than that.

So good luck with this. Still very neat. If only I had a Wii controller, lol

I didn’t think of that but I know what you are talking about. I’m sure they wouldn’t care about this when it’s an “additional” way to play and you will actually be pretty bad unless youre secretly a master swordsman in real life lol. None of these scripts shortcut anything. But man does it make you feel cool when you actually manage to remember and pull off a combo

Dying to see if anyone manages to get a Kinect to work with GW2 somehow

keybinding changes are allowed if it doesn’t give the user an advantage. (some people use them to play with xbox controllers.)

I can’t see this giving anyone an advantage as it must be kind of “clumsy” in comparison to keyboard, but probably good fun.

Devs can’t even get that piece of garbage to work properly with games that are made for it.

Never underestimate the ability and sheer determination of a modder.

Have you SEEN the skyrim mod community? There is a reason the very first thing most will send you is a link to a modding site.

Very cool.

We need some out of the box thinking like this to fix Ranger-Sword.
(b/c Anet has yet to admit it’s a mess)

Any Mesmer script in the works? or something general?

a general one for any class would just be to map simple directional motions to each number.

Does the pointer work for the mouse with these scripts?

For every good Elder Scrolls mod, there are 100 nude mods.

So nice.

Very nice. As long as you keep it to one action doing one activity(the same as one button press giving one activity) it should be fine. Just need the money and space in the apartment to use it.

Bravo! I’m sure this will truly enhance the gaming experience for people who decide to use it. Very innovative!

Grats, I use to use the wiimote in GW1 and L4D2. Thanks for the post

This seems pretty nifty! I think the only thing that would draw me out of getting immersed with the controls is skill cooldowns
