This is a mod i created a while ago. It allows you to play the Two Player Missions from the PS2 version of San Andreas on PC.

It is in the BETA stage at the moment, but it's looking good. The next version should be out soon with more features.

What do you think?

	Downloads
Main Mod	Tools	Extras
BETA 1	SAAC2	Coming Soon

Usage of SAAC2:

1. Run 2 Instances of SAAC
2. 1st instance will be player 1, configure controls accordingly (i have included a Keyboard preset in this beta) id use the Keyboard preset here
3. 2nd Instance you will want to use a joypad, or configure some keyboard keys that are not already in use by the 1st instance, also Tick the '2nd Player' box near the bottom
4. When ingame press NUMPAD * to enable SAAC, and NUMPAD / to go back to normal.

IMPORTANT: If you encounter a bug where 1 player controls the 2 players please download SAAC2 and follow the instructions below.

Note: SAAC2 can ONLY be used with my 2 Player Missions Mod. And can not be hosted on any site apart from Racer_s's Site and here!

Care to share how you did this?

[Opiteilsm]

I'm curious to

[Loman]

This is pretty sweet, but is there a way to make one player the joystick and the other player the keyboard? Right now my joystick and keyboard both control both players at the same time.

Here is how i got the 2 -player missions working for PC.

This mod will only work for you if you have 1 or 2 USB controllers for your PC/Laptop. DirectX couldn't support the format because the 2 Player Missions were going to be played with a keyboard. This of course would no work. Because Rockstars Multiplayer format is not able to work for keyboards. But if you use USB controllers (and San Andreas Advanced Control v1.2) you can play the missions. This is because the controllers are supported. A bit of work and you are able to play the 2 Player Missions.

There is more info in the Readme included in the download.

To answer Loman's question i am not sure on weather you can do that. I am looking into this at the moment. If you are able to do that it will be in the next version. I had the same thing happen when i tryed to play with just one USB Controller.

[Opius]

Simply creating another player will not work. There's no way for the game to distinguish between players on the PC version.

Hell, I've even done this back in Vice City. Same thing happened. Multiple players, but only one control set.

You're going to need to do A LOT more than this to get two-player working again. I'm talking EXE hooks to finish off Rockstars unfinished code, a DirectX hook to port controls to the second unused internal controller port.

To be blunt, I don't think you're going to pul this off. Your topics in Mission Coding indicate you're not comfortable with the mission script. Believe me, the mission script is the easiest part of this process.

Sorry, if that's what you think fine. All i know is that the mod works. Download it and give it a try. It works.

Like i said, "IF IT IS POSSIBLE IT WILL BE IN THE NEXT VERSION. As for what you think about me not being very confident with the San Andreas script. That is bull. I am confident. But i am new. If i can not find something that i am looking for that i ask of help. And i am not apparently re-enabled multiplayer mode. I have re-enabled it. Get your facts right. Just download the mod and see for your-self.

but there is 1 thing, if i use my controller i cant use my keyboard, so my controller controls both player...

wow.....could there be a variation where u can switch between players and control them both?

i think this is a dumb question, but can it be so i don't have to restart....im pretty far...

[jacob.]

You say this works. Have you personally tried it? The game always calls CPed[0] when it comes to controlling, so you could have 50 players created and they would all fire their weapon when you hit <fire>.
This exact situation is displayed in s-paco's screenshot.

[MuT7]

didn't he say u need 2 controllers plugged in?

[Mikerush76]

Nice Work bro..dont worry about these people most are too busy talking to read/try anything..lol

[Opius]

Yeah, lets not let facts get in the way of hopeless ambition

[s-paco]

i HAVE 2 controllers, but with that controller program, i got my controller working but still he controls both players, and yes u can choose a guy to play with (player 2) : 2 of ur gang members, cop guy, a Ho....

[demonj0e]

you could turn this into a bodyguard mod

thye get upgrades of health, stanima, wepons and stuff like that

[RainingAcid]

Can you add split screen? Or do you have to hard code it?

You guys are asking some really, really stretchy questions. As if such a thing could be easily done? It'd require a lot of extreme, advanced DirectX/game hacking to achieve this..

Again, s-paco, all of your controller input will effect both players. This mod, I'm afraid, is absolutely pointless.

[spectre01]

s-paco , whats that weapon on ur pic? i never see it before. mod? if so, can we share? thanx.

I don't relly think it is pointless. I have said this several times already "IT IS IA BETA VERSION IT DOES NOT WORK TO ITS FUN EXSTENT YET! It is just a simple mod that was a test to see if it would work. It can always be used as a bodygard mod. But there is some way to get it to work. Wether anyone will ever work out what we have to do to get it to work is another thing. You may not be able to play 2 player missions directly but you can play a mission and chose between 2 diffrent players.
