Here I'm sharing my early work for my accessibility modification for The Banner Saga.
Be aware that it is currently untested, very incomplete, buggy and unwieldy to use. It is intended only for people who wish to test it nonetheless.
Current known requirements :
- A 64 bit system
- Tested on Windows 10
- NVDA
- The Steam version of The Banner Saga 1
- A console gamepad or an emulated one
Installation : Uncompress the zip file at the root of the game folder (it should be named tbs in your Steam library) then let files be overwritten.
Usage:
Be sure to have your gamepad ready before launching the modification executable. (it might still work if you plug it later)
Launch the executable (banner saga script2.exe).
For now that executable need to be closed manually after you quit the game, there should be an autohotkey tray icon somewhere for this.
Controls:
To be explained, but basically the modification reuse the gamepad system of the game, so you control the game just the same. I added custom functions on the left and right triggers. The right trigger sends a debug list of the current bindings for the gamepad and the left one is more meant to tell the non selectable displayed informations, but it's not very much implemented for now.
My current goal:
My first goal for this project is to find an access to all the essential informations. Only after this I will take a greater care with the usability of the interface. That said, my efforts will go toward dropping the requirement for the gamepad right now.
What's more or less working for now:
- Standard menus
- Travel page menus
- In game dialogues
- Some very very basic functionalities in the combat mode
