Impulse look while running

[Brook]

<p>Pretty straight forward, I use to be able to swing camera around while holding W for forward motion and left mouse button to swing camera and the right mouse button would turn my character.</p><p>Now however it only works this way while in autorun. Don.t know what I need to change to get it back the way it was, or how it got changed in the first place.</p><p>Anyone know how to fix it?</p>

<p>Hrm... have you tried right click instead of left click? I rotate my view all the time while running (not on auto-run) but I can't recall if it actually steers me or just looks in the direction I point. (Curse my goofy memory).</p>

Yea, both buttons have the same effect ot turning my character. It is a G15 keyboard and I am going t try loading the old drivers back on and see if it helps.

<p>If you go to the options in game there should be a drop box that allows you to change your character movement to be either 'avatar relative' or 'camera relative'.  You'll want to switch from one to the other.  I can't recall what section it is located in, but it sounds like the cause of the problem based on your description.  I can find exactly where it is in the options a little later assuming things calm down here, but it may be a while before I get a chance.</p><p>Its also possible that your mouse drivers need to be reinstalled, but I would check the character movement option first.</p>

Thanks TSR-DanielH that did the trick switching to avatar relative.
