World of Warcraft with a Controller
472So I've been dabbling in WoW again, this time playing with a controller. Playing with WoWMapper (an app that lets WoW recognize your controller), a controller, and with these addons, once set up nicely, makes WoW feel almost like a different game. It's a lot of fun so far.
Video I saw talking about setting this up:

Remember that this is going to take you some time, but here's how to set this up yourself:
Firstly, set up a controller on your PC. However you wanna do that. :) It seems this setup should work with an Xbox controller, a PS4 controller, or a Steam Controller. Not sure about any others. For reference, though, my setup uses a PS3 controller that is emulating an Xbox controller.
Then, you need three components (with an optional fourth and fifth) to get this running like you've seen in this video.
1 - WowMapper
https://github.com/topher-au/WoWmapper/releases/tag/7.2.1
This is the only piece of external software you need. Download the installer and get it working with your controller. I wish I could be more specific, but I can't.
2 - ConsolePort
https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/console-port
This is an addon for WoW. I'm going to trust you know how to install addons already. Install this one.
3 - Dynamic Cam

Another addon for WoW. Install this, too. Now, go to the BelluarGaming video I linked ABOVE and read that video's description for a link to his Quick Guide. That Quick Guide shows you all the settings you need to make Dynamic Cam do all the cool zoom and combat stuff. (Note: BelluarGaming's Quick Guide leaves out the settings for NPC Interactions, but after you've spent some time looking through DynamicCam's settings you can probably just set it up on your own.)
Spend some time getting all three of these working together and you could have a really fun setup working for yourself!
Additionally, there are two optional components you might consider.
(Optional) 4 - An addon that lets you move or hide parts of the UI. For this video, because I don't know much about WoW addons these days, I just looked one up quickly and am using an addon called MoveAnything. This might not remain my permanent solution, and if you have an addon that already offers this functionality and you like that one, then by all means stick with yours. But, if you need a quick solution like I did, here's the link to MoveAnything: https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/move-anything
(Optional) 5 - An addon that lets you change unit nameplates and such. I used Tidy Plates: https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/tidy-plates
Hope you folks have fun!
