Cheesehead91 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) Hello, when i play GTA:SA cj keeps going backwards (toward the camera) at half-speed (jogging, the slower run, but not the walk), the only thing i have edited recently before the problem started occuring is vehicle.txd when i imported new lights for cars , something else i think is very weird is the speed he at which he goes backwards, because (control)backwards is linked to 'down arrow' and 'S', whick work like on/off switches not like an analog stick, and it has all the symptoms of a calibration error which would seem impossible (i have never had to calibrate my keyboard ) , i've tried other mods with new vehicle.txd, nothing works... Has this happened to any1 else or does any1 know how to fix it or atleast where this problem could be coming from? (where all the stuff related to cj's movement is perhaps) I've already tried: -reinstalling (with and without removing every single GTASA file including the user files) -new keyboard drivers -dumping parts of the old install over the new1 (just kept part of the install to keep modded files there maybe i wont have to reinstall/edit lots of stuff manually) EDIT: as it turns out the joystick which is also connected to the pc but is ignored by just about every non-flightsim game was knocked halfway back thats whats been causing this... yes i know very clever thing to do of me Edited June 16, 2008 by Cheesehead91 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/357293-cj-walks-backwards/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 It's probably related to the mod in some way or another. Just try reinstalling the game and see if the problem continues.

Cheesehead91 Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 is that really necessary it is the most stupid tedious process of starting all over installing lots of mods again... cant u get a vehicle.txd somewhere thats fresh?

Cheesehead91 Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 also the .rar files don't open on the CD strangely when i started looking for vehicle.txd Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/357293-cj-walks-backwards/#findComment-1058253280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesehead91 Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 Update:dling another (modded can't find a fresh 1) vehicle.txd does NOT fix it, my game is perfect otherwise so unless any1 has an idea howto fix this more simply, will san andreas work properly if you start copying all the modded files from my current install to the new 1?

Cheesehead91 Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) @zera: Thanks very much!!! but now i'm curious which files are related to player/vehicle movement controls, i've noticed in cars no problem but on foot cj goes backwards and on motorbikes (found out about this testing the 2nd reinstall) cj leans backwards, not enough for wheelie unless you really hit the throttle hard, but these controls arent even on the same button in my setup, so you'd think it uses some sort of ps2 or possibly the default pc controls, with the control for leaning and walking back being the same by default somehow it sets them to 50% pressed which would seem only to be possible by some kind of software *@#** Okay i'm using the edit from now on (me= pretty much a noob when it comes to forums, sorry) Edited June 16, 2008 by Cheesehead91 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/357293-cj-walks-backwards/#findComment-1058253602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
