About
This mod has greatly evolved since it's first release and expanded past the mod's name. Originally, the mod was a few lines that enabled the walk state when loading in a game, now it's much more than that with help from the community.
The main goal for this mod is to let you adjust the movement speed for the various states the player (as in both Johnny and V) can be when on the ground: jogging (which I will refer to as the default state), walking (which I will refer to as the toggled state), crouching, and sprinting, and crouch sprinting. When this mod is first installed, by default, the player's movement speed for the default state is decreased and the movement speed for the toggled state is increased, effectively making the player walk by default.
In addition, the mod has an optional persist system that implements and extends the functionality from the No Walk Auto Disable mod. If this system is enabled, the mod will prevent the game from disabling the toggled state (this mod implements its own logic for persisting the toggled state after sprinting, while similar logic from NWAD is implemented to cover everything else).
The mod uses Mod Settings to provide a menu so you can mess the movement values (don't forget to reload a save after changing them) and to enable/disable the persist system.
