Title: Mac mouse issue
Post by: Lukasz on January 15, 2005, 03:09:26 am

There\'s an issue with Mac players and loot.  

Here\'s what\'s going on:  As I understand things, picking up loot on a PC machine requires the use of the second mouse button.  Mac\'s don\'t have a second mouse button (at least not normally).  As things stand, Mac users can remap the mouse buttons to shift+mouse, ctrl+mouse etc, so as to be able to loot up.  The problem however is that -- on my machine at least -- using one of these alt+mouse combinations causes a crash one in 10 times or so.  This is a major disincentive for me to pick up rat-pelts or whatever.  Without loot, my character can\'t really advance though.

Suggested solution: allow a remapping of the LOOT function to a non-mouse dependent key (like ~ or tab or ] or something).  This would be quick, effective and prevent me from crashing out whenever i have the urge to make some money.

cheers.

I know its not a perfect solution but for the time being could you try typing
/loot in the console instead of using your mouse?  It might partially solve your dilemma.

Thanks, I\'ll try that next time I play.  If it works, it\'s actually very helpful.

OR you could spend 5$ and get a cheap two button mouse for circuit city or best buy like I did.
