What's new

Changelog

0.5.6

  • Switching between the main menu and the wheel keeps working after you open the main menu with its own button: the top face button (Triangle, Y, X on Switch) in the main menu now always opens the Controller Companion wheel, however the main menu was opened.

0.5.5

  • Switching between the main menu and the wheel no longer stops after a few rounds: a quick tap of the top face button (Triangle, Y, X on Switch) in the main menu now always opens the Controller Companion wheel.
  • The switch hints show as soon as a menu opens, not only after you let go of the button.

0.5.4

  • Wheel button in the settings: Settings > General > Wheel button (or /ccomp wheel bind) opens a box where you press the button that should open the wheel. For controllers without Create/Share, such as the Xbox One, Elite and Steam Deck. The first-start card points to it.
  • Switch between the main menu and ours: the top face button (Triangle on PlayStation, Y on Xbox and Steam Deck, X on Switch) switches from the main menu (Blizzard's gamepad wheel) to the Controller Companion wheel and back. Both show it at the bottom. Works on every controller; not in combat. Can be turned off under Settings > General.

0.5.3

  • Mail recipients wheel: your other characters are listed once, by their full name. The game gives an addon only the first name of the character you play, so each one also showed up a second time under that short name.

0.5.2

  • Node compass: its options stay visible but greyed out while it is parked; the ring and its command are out of the player's way.

0.5.1

  • Mail recipients wheel: a Whispers page (people you whispered with in the last two hours, newest first); Battle.net friends show their name under the character, every character they have been seen on is listed; Square forgets a remembered name until it is seen again; the stick selects and Cross picks.
  • Node compass parked. A change to the game on 2026-11-06 took away what the compass read from the minimap. It is off, and its options are visible but greyed out until the game allows it again. The ring itself was reworked meanwhile: yellow glow like the targeting ring, a height slider, hidden in combat and while targeting.

0.5.0

  • Settings panel: every feature in Options > AddOns > Controller Companion (/ccomp settings, or the wheel's upper-left slot). Driven by the controller like the rest of Blizzard's options.
  • First start: a card says which button opens the wheel. /ccomp welcome shows it again.
  • Other controller addons: at login the addon names the ones it sees (Controller Forever, Improved Forever, Easy Controller, WorldController, ConsolePort) and warns when another addon took over the wheel button.
  • Vendor: sells gray items and repairs by itself at a vendor, one chat line for both. Guild repair optional. The wheel's lower-right slot or /ccomp vendor runs it by hand.
  • Consumables wheel: food, drink, health and mana potions, bandages and other consumables from your bags, one page per kind with counts. Point and press Cross to use one (using an item is protected, so the press goes through a secure button). Wheel's upper-right slot or /ccomp eat. Out of combat only.
  • Mail recipients: with the cursor on the recipient box of the Send Mail tab, Triangle opens a wheel with your other characters, friends (every character they have been seen on, with their Battle.net name), whisper partners of the last two hours, guild and recent recipients; point, press Cross, and it fills the recipient box. Square forgets a remembered name. /ccomp mail.
  • Node compass: with herb or ore tracking on, a yellow glow ring at your character's feet, like the targeting ring, marks the tracked nodes by direction and distance and names the one you face. The names also stand next to the minimap's dots (off in the settings if you don't want them). Hidden in combat and while the targeting ring is up; the ring's height is a slider.
  • Button glyphs come from Blizzard's own prompt tables, so Xbox and Switch controllers show the right pictures.
  • Developer commands (probe, gyro, uidiff, glyphs, taint, watch) left the /ccomp list; /ccomp dev lists them.
  • Texts moved into a locale table; German started.
  • Packaging: MIT license, .pkgmeta, GitHub release workflow, this changelog.

0.4.0

  • Rumble: the controller rumbles (DualSense light bar flashes) for whispers, invites, ready checks, queue pops, summons, quest progress, level ups and good loot, each with its own pattern. Settings panel, wheel slot, /ccomp rumble test guided feel test.
  • Bank with Square: Square moves the selected item between bags and bank while the bank is open.
  • Sort button on the bags, reachable with the controller cursor (Up from the top right item).
  • Chat Links: Loot and Crafted tabs; Triangle hides public channels.
  • Quick chat: casual texts and a new Quick page (yes, no, gz, thx, np, sry, lol, sec).
  • Event handlers run isolated, so one failing feature doesn't block the others.

0.3.0

  • Feature wheel on Create/Share, quick chat with Favorites, chat links browser, target quest info box.
