Mouselook problem since update.
« on: February 25, 2006, 03:50:25 am »
I\'ve gotten on since the update a few times, the longest being about a 15 minute stint.  

While getting my UI set up, I found my middle button mouselook wasn\'t working so I went into options to check.  It was set to middle but I changed it to both right and left just to try and neither worked.  

The TAB key still does work but I had become accustomed to using the middle mousebutton.  

What additional info could/should I provide to help solve this?

Same thing happening with me as well, so it looks like something in the code just needs to be poked.

And so the bugs accumulate... ;)

I like how this thread already has 5 replies...

Even though mine was posted first, and it mentioned this bug.


But I love you anyway. <3

Nope.  Just broken.  Gotta wait until someone fixes it.

My big difficulty isn\'t so much with the middle mouse button mouselook not working as it is with mouse sensitivity being waaaay too low.  Even walking through the DR now I have trouble keeping myself from falling off the side using mouselook.  I tried changing it in the options and I tried changing it manually in the file but sensitivity still isn\'t near as high as I would like it to be.  Is there a fix for this, or was it intentional?  Any response would be welcome.

How to fix mouselook
« Reply #14 on: March 02, 2006, 11:59:45 am »
This works both on Linux and Windows (I don\'t have a Mac computer to test it).

Go to the data\\options directory (C:\\Program Files\\PlaneShift Crystal Blue\\data\\options on Windows).

Delete your existing mouse.xml file (if you have one).

Copy mouse_def.xml to mouse.xml and then edit the mouse.xml file with a text editor (WordPad on Windows, Notepad seems to be not working because there are only LineFeed character at the end of lines).

Locate the line with action=\"MouseLook\" and make the following change:
Code: [Select]

Make sure that you use upper/lower case characters exactly as shown here.

Mouselook should be now working.
