CJ doesn't run indoors


Psyc

Recommended Posts

Ok, I have a problem when I'm doing missions inside a building. CJ doesn't run/sprint/whatever. Like in the mission where you break into the bank at Caligula's. I have to either crouch or walk.

 

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I'm using a gamepad with SAAC.

 

Has anyone else experienced this problem or know how to fix it?

Im on PS2, and CJ doesent run neither. The only times CJ runs is when he is walking down stairs, but when he touches the ground, he quickly goes back to the slow running position.

That's the same with me. If move the camera around, he runs but he doesn't run when the camera is straight on.

It's a flag set in the material assigned to the collision data. You'll find there's a few surfaces inside on which you can run on.

 

Don't expect to be able though.

It happens on the PS2 version too. I dunno why rockstar wont let you run in buildings. Well i rate this topic low since I already know this and its not a big deal.

CJ is only able to run in certain buildings. Most safehouses and some stores are like that, but the casinos and certain otherspecial buildings dont allow it

one of the things they teach you @ school is that "you don't run in the hallway"

There are five types of on-foot movements: crouch, walk, run, sprint, and super sprint. Just pressing the Foward button makes you run. Add a Sprint button and you Sprint, Tap the Sprint button and you super sprint. So in a way, CJ can already run in interiors. He just can't sprint in some of them.

I noticed CJ can only run in certain places... like some of the main section of Caligula's... the concrete platforms inside the Four Dragon's Casino... while others you can't... like safe houses in general. A small trick I learned in GTA:VC while doing rampage missions with rocket launchers, flame throwers and mini-guns... if you can't run, jump... and jump... and jump again. However, it seems like in San Andreas, CJ pauses momentarily after landing his jump.. so I'm not sure how much extra time this saves. sarcasm.gif

It is a texture thing. I noticed it in the Dragon's casino. On the rug, CJ runs slower, but when you hit the wood floor inlay in the foyer he speeds up for a few steps, then he slows again when you hit the carpet.

Ok, then how come on the videos at stuckgamer.com I see CJ running inside Caligula's and Four Dragons?

because in some spots, you can...

 

if he was running thru the entire thing uneffected, then he probably changed the settings for the rug, carpet, whatever slows CJ down, to simple floor texture like the sidewalk or something that CJ can run on.

Is there anyway to fix that? Like a hack/mod or something?

Yes, there is. There's a property "cant sprint on" for the surfaces "carpet" and "floorboard". You can change it to allow sprinting indoors. Edit data\surfinfo.dat, go down to the CARPET and FLOORBOARD lines. There's a bunch of zeros with a 1 roughly in the middle:

 

CARPET HARD 1.0 -0.25 DEFAULT SPARKS 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 DUST CARPET

FLOORBOARD HARD 1.0 -0.25 DEFAULT SPARKS 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 WOOD FLOORBOARD

 

Change the 1 to a zero like this:

 

CARPET HARD 1.0 -0.25 DEFAULT SPARKS 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 DUST CARPET

FLOORBOARD HARD 1.0 -0.25 DEFAULT SPARKS 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 WOOD FLOORBOARD

 

In the actual file the numbers are more spaced out. If you can't figure it out, grab the file from http://www.maxbot.com/gta/surfinfo.dat

 

For PS2 there's a cheat that does the same thing:

 

Sprint Indoors (GameShark/CB/AR2 NTSC)

007062A9 00000000

007062B5 00000000

 

Sprint Indoors (ARMax NTSC)
