Hi Guys,
I really want to play through these games as they are my absolute favourite. but the controls (in my opinion of course) are really dumb and its made me switch to the PC equivalent of the games. i just saw this forum on gta hacking and saw a ton of stuff and was wondering if someone knows how to modify the controls?

this would be a god sent to me as i LOVE both of these games.

many thanks,
McSilvio

Do you want the PC equivalent or the PS2 equivalent?  I'm not sure how you played on the PC but the XBOX has only limited mouse and keyboard functionality.

If you want PS2 controls, try switching to "classic" under options, that should get you closer to the PS2 feel.

ive done that. it was a lot better but still made no sense. the black and white buttons are pretty useless to me.

but yes i just want controls that make sense on the xbox controller. right now, for me, they dont. was wondering if someone found a way to reassign buttons

i was thinking of buying a ps2 controller adapter just for these games but i heard that the buttons are not the same and unchangeable.

Yeah after playing PS2, the classic settings are still a little funky.

I just played and played, running around until I got used to it.  I didn't try anything truly challenging until I was comfortable.

Still, it's hard to erase 150+ hours of play when you're looking at the same screen but the controls are even slightly different.

You can change controls for GTA VC in xbox by editing ControlMapping1.txt (standard) or ControlMapping2.txt (classic) in the neo folder. i.e if you want to move a car by the dpad, you should edit like this:
ControlMapping1.txt:

CAR_MOVEMENT_LEFT_RIGHT         LEFT_STICK_X
CAR_MOVEMENT_UP_DOWN            LEFT_STICK_Y

to:

CAR_MOVEMENT_LEFT_RIGHT         DPAD_X
CAR_MOVEMENT_UP_DOWN            DPAD_Y

I tested that and it worked.

is it possible to have both?

sometimes i just out of habit go for the dpad to steer adn end up crashing =/
but i am used to the sticks now i just want to safeguard against my brain wanting to go for dpad and crashing because of it.

I tried that and it said my controls were lost and are now set back to default.

You need to edit the controlmapping file in the saves dir also so it won't reset your settings.
