Mouse button 4

**ShellShock** · 11-17-2006, 20:12

Has anyone else seen this in the readme.txt:

"An additional control option is available for controlling the camera in battles. Holding down button 4 (not available on all mouse devices) will allow the player to control their view directly with the mouse. While doing this, the cursor will disappear until the player releases button 4."

When I try button 4, the camera just zooms in on the cursor location (same as button 3).

Does button 4 work for you? If so, what mouse have you got (because I might buy one!).

when I push what I think is button 4 ("forward" button?) it just zooms in at max and starts scrolling to the left. Wierd :s

I re-installed my mouse drivers, and now button 4 just makes the camera spin continuously.

One for the patch I think.

Same here, mine just spins round and round.

Have either of you tried testing this. For example, is there a difference in the direction of spin if you put the mouse to different sides of the screen before pressing button 4? Maybe it's simply failing to reposition the mouse to the centre of the screen?

It works fine for me, it's actually a little annoying as I have my push to talk button for ventrillo set to that button too...

It is weird. It doesn't matter where the mouse is, or in which direction you move it. The sequence is:

Press mouse button 4 (free look mode).
Move mouse (any direction).
Camera spins wildly anti-clockwise.

I have a rather old Logitech Mouseman Wheel but with the latest drivers.

If free look works for you, what mouse do you have?

Thanks.

Actually I remember having a problem with the software that came with my mouse, when pressing the 4th or 5th button in games it would just move to the bottom left a lot. It sounds like you could be having some similar problem which would create all the spinning, so maybe try removing any mouse control/configuration software? Windows natively support the 4th and 5th buttons anyway.
