UPDATE - IMPORTANT: READ FIRST BEFORE CHANGING ANYTHING

Thanks to the report and further testing, it has been found out that shoulder button prompts will show up differently...if at all. I couldn't figure out why since I can't directly view the files but it seems that only L1/R1/L2/R2 buttons are affected. I will keep the guide up for informational reasons but please be aware of this bug before you decide to change anything.

Issues:
L1/R1 buttons don't show up at all
L2/R2 will show up as L1/R1 buttons

examples:

L1 command not showing up, just the help text

wrong command, correct input is R2 + square

So I wouldn't recommend using this input scheme if this is your first time playing the game because it can get confusing but you do you.

Disclaimer

I just wanna say that I'm not a programmer or a modder, just somebody who has been fixing their games for years and learnt few things about .ini files. If you see something wrong in this guide or you know some information that can improve it, please feel free to share it, I'll update it.

How to

ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR FILES FIRST!!!

Go to C:\Users\Yourname\Documents\My Games\UnrealEngine3\MonkeyGame\Config

find a file named MonkeyUI.ini

back up this file somewhere before you change anything

open this file in notepad, right at start you will see:

[Engine.UIInteraction] UISkinName=Frontend_Skin360.XBox360Skin

change the line to

UISkinName=Frontend_SkinPS3.PS3Skin

save changes and after it's saved, right click on this file and set it on "read only" in its properties so it doesn't get overwritten when you start the game (if you wanna edit this file again, you need to untick the "read only" option again)

and that's it, you can now start the game and enjoy playing with PS buttons.

To do...

Controller section in main menu still shows up the picture of X360 controller, but since the layout is same it shouldn't be that much of an issue. I'll update the guide if I find out how to swap the picture in this section.

For people who know how UE3 engine works (skip this part if you're here just for the tutorial)

As I said at the beginning, I don't have necessary in-depth knowledge on how UE3 engine games work, I just install and edit Xbox buttons to PS buttons anytime and any way I can, cuz playing with X360 buttons feels like I'm playing with input lag as I have to constantly convert it in my head. Anyways.

I'm kinda hoping somebody who understands UE3 engine will see this guide and helps me cleaned it up a little.

I have also found the line:

Package=Frontend_Skin360

in MonkeyEngine.ini
I tried to change it to PS3 but it doesn't seem to do anything in game. If you know what it does (if anything), please let me know.

ONCE AGAIN, IF YOU SEE ANYTHING WRONG IN THIS GUIDE OR YOU KNOW ANY INFORMATION THAT CAN IMPROVE IT, PLEASE SHARE. YOU'RE NOT HELPING JUST ME BUT OTHER PLAYERS

Okay I did further testing and there is a problem is with all shoulder buttons, L1/R1 doesn't show up at all and L2/R2 will show up BUT will show incorrect input, R1 instead of R2 and L1 instead of L2. I'll update the guide to reflect this issue but I have honestly no idea how to fix it. I tried to swap/rename files around but nothing seems to change and my knowledge is limited. It's super frustrating because EVERYTHING ELSE works just fine.

@Shadow-987 Hm you're right, I just loaded chapter 2 and it doesn't show input at all, just blank space. That's odd. Thank you for reporting it to me! I see if I can do something about that.

@Devi Thanks for the guide, have you played much of the game using the PS3 prompts? When I tried to apply this tweak later in the game (when you have access to commands for Trip) the prompts for R1 / L1 were not showing up when they should have.

I legit only figured this out by going through .ini files and checking file names in the install folder so I thought I'll share. It seems to be a common thing with UE3 games that they have PS3 console prompts left over in their PC ports.
