Rising Sun Layouts Project ☀️
By grieveybear
First always look for the ☀️ to see my easy comprehensive layouts in COMMUNITY LAYOUTS section

The goal of this project to make common, easy, reliable community layout system to steam controller for now, for any game/program in market. It will update with other controller layouts in future if I have other popular controllers, (like dualsense 5)

introduction
Hi unfortunate steam controller community people




  • First of all english is my third language please try your best to understand what I’m writing here cause this best what i try to write, if anything you couldn’t understand, just try to think again in basic english you’ll understand what I’m saying.

  • I have issue with explanation, that means when i try to tell somebody about something, i use too much words or keep saying same thing repeatedly, please do not disturbed on this, enjoy reading.
    I am informing you in advance so that you can be prepared.

  • I’ve been making steam controller community layouts for a while, and I believe now i have little experience on steam inputs, steam controller input settings so i said to myself, why wouldn't you turn this into common easy reliable community layout project ?

The Name Of This Project
Main Goal Of This Project
Why I Started This Project ?

update i'm working now :) but i will try to continue this project
Common Buttons In Layouts System
Yeah there would be some main buttons not change
  • I will use haptics on trackpads always in low. If you dont like it you can pull it to medium or high
  • Like The dual trackpad system, dpad position, action set/shifting mod changing buttons, jump&sprint&couch buttons.
    • Movement on LP. Sometime if I can change Dpad position, I can make JS and LP for movement
    • Control camera or mouse on RP
    • Sprint/Run RG
    • Jump LG in all games | Virtual menu on RP in platformer Games | RG on some FPS (like battlefıeld)
    • Shifting buttons, it will change according to the needs of the game but it will be main buttons I will not use other them for changing mods, which is Y, X, LPC, RPC, LB


    Other things will change, I’ll try make all remap on trackpads and triggers so you don’t have to lift your thumb frequently.

    Like this position:



    The layout system will still give you the feeling of being one system so that it doesn't cause too much confusion in your muscle memory.
Pictogram Language System And Why I Use It ?
We all know pictogram language is one of first written languages system in humanity history.

I chose this language system so that the layout would be quickly noticed in the community marketplace and easy to read when viewed before downloading the layout, so people dont scammed.

My layout will came with ☀️ emoji in the title so you could recognize the layout quickly without any confusion in layout community section.

There will be pictograms system for easy reading in layouts:
  • ✌️for double press
  • ✋ for long press
  • 🤞for shifting mod or changing action sets
  • 🖖 for button chorde press.
I’ll update this pictograms as needed in future.

For easy operating system support reading I’ll add:
  • ⊞ For Windows
  •  For Mac

For now I use them like this ⊞Win & Mac.
In near future I’ll make them shorter because of steam community layout explanation system
doesn’t support to much character.
To reduce character use I’ll use them in this way
  • ⊞&
The use of operating system logo it would be in this way:
  • If layout don’t have any logo or have windows logo, like (⊞Win ) then this layout have just windows support
  • If layout have just mac logo, like ( Mac ) Then this layout have just mac support
  • If layout have both logo, like ( ⊞Win & Mac ) Then this layout support both
  • If game have separate windows layout that doesn’t mean that will be automatically another separate layout for mac.
    • For example gta vice city I couldn’t made mac layout for it because the game doesn’t have support on Mac silicon chips.
Attention Attention For Mac Users
  • Some 32 bit games in mac there will be layouts for them, as long as they worked on silicon chips.
  • You can use windows games layouts if you play games via emulators like crossover.
  • For vanilla mac user to prevent any trouble in mac please add Steam and the game you want play from >System Settings>privacy&security>Bluetooth, Accessibility, Input Monitoring & Developer Tool.
  • Sometime even if you added steam your game doesn’t recognize the controller, thats not problem add the game in same way you added steam in mac settings .
Feedback & Request System
Please give me feedbacks about your user experience so I can update layouts based on your feedbacks.

I know you can make changes for your needs but please don’t forget that our vision here to make layout that can everyone use with just downloaded without any input settings knowledge.

For example i made desktop&basic browser navigation layout for windows, with some user feedbacks I updates that layout 4 times, now the last layout have Windows and Mac support and it’s almost perfect.

You can write your game layout requests on comment section, I'll put them In request section in order so that no one's rights are violated here.

I will continue to make logical reliable common layout system updates based on your feedbacks & requests as much as I can(in near future if i had job it will be slower but I’ll try my best)

If you have any idea for easier way to share these update notes with you guys I’m open for any idea here, i can improve myself for need of the community.
Requests
Will be filled with your requests.
Final Notes
Last at least I know I don't have too much convenient range of layouts right now, I want you to know sort of we in beta level for now, because what I've already said for now I don't have enough technology support for 3A games.

Please if is there any way to update layouts without delete and publish it repeatedly tell me.

If you saw any error or if you want to give advice Im all open ears here for you, because how much good information shared that much the guide will be better.

Under here it would be all supported games layout and it will update by requests or feedback updates.

Thank you all if you reached here :)
