The supposed right-clicking problem "fix" does not work.

[Neko-chan]

I used this page – http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=31746.0 – that claims to fix the ignoring of ctrl+click. However, on my computer (running OS X 10.5.4), controls.xml and mouse.xml do not, by default, exist within /Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/PlaneShift/options. I used TextEdit to create xml documents, thinking that, though the game code is poor enough to necessitate this fix, it might be good enough to detect and read new documents that are, supposedly, but not actually, placed there during installation.

Guess what happened.

With the new files, NPC selection is impossible. A normal left click does not select an NPC (it is completely ignored), and a second click moves my character to the opposite side of said NPC. Surprisingly enough, ctrl+click yields no better results.

Never in all the time I have been using computers, even old versions of Windows, have I seen something this terrible. Just so any reader knows, the link I initially provided is the same link as I was given in the email telling me that this problem is not a bug, but actually just poor coding. (Those are not the words in the email, those are my own words giving an accurate summary.)

I would not be surprised if this thread is locked for some stupid reason or another. I can wait the years it will take for PlaneShift to be a game written with skill on par with that of Halo Trial.

I found that if you open the game and go into the options and reset the buttons it works just fine after that no extra fixes required,
But that is my experience those with more technical background may know better than me,

There is no options menu or button and the only similar thing I can find is pssetup, but that doesn't have anything that looks like it would help -.-

I think the main purpose of this thread was to say that the "fix" is crap. It doesn't work.

But hey, if someone could give me instructions that might actually help me correct this error, that'd be great ^^

You can open the options menu in game with the <o>-key, or by pressing the options button in the main tool bar at the top of the screen. (Just leave your mouse for a moment on each button to see what they are for). After that you should get the options window and there should be a button called "reset" near the bottom of it. Try to press it and then the "save" button. I hope that help you. Another possibility would maybe to change the setting for the context menu directly. You can do this in the options windows too, section Controls/Mouse. Just set the combination you want to use for the context menu with the "set" button beside "ContextMenu". I guess if nothing else works setting another key for this would be a solution too (But I'm really not sure of this).

I did say that you had to be in game, already playing, acting out your character. The options tab would be at the top of your screen.

yeah... I don't feel stupid now... but this thing is as simple as Windows >.>;;

Thanks for the help, and sorry for being rude ^^;

Not a problem just wait a little more next time if you can't see the light or ask; Many here will be kind enough to give you all the help they can, but the thing to remember is most of us are also players and don't have all the info in the world.

You are welcome though.

And Glad to have you in Planeshift
