mouse movement

[Crunch]

I'm running Win98se and IronStorm runs A-OK.

Two 800MHz P3 CPU
512 SDRAM
Geforce2 MX 32MB
Audigy OEM
Abit VP6 mobo


The problem is I can't get horizontal movement with the mouse. I'm using a USB Logitech optical wheel mouse. The game is interpreting wheel movements as horizontal. Wheel up is left and wheel down is right.

Another wierd thing is during the control configuration I found I have to press SPACE twice in order for the game to recieve my new key. For example if I wanna change shoot from LEFT-CLICK to 'F' I gotta press SPACE, SPACE and then press 'F'. Don't games normally use ENTER or LEFT-CLICK or something to do a change?

The third oddity is the current weapon icon keeps flashing to other icons. This bug I can live with.

Crunch, So it installed OK and runs OK (except for the problems you mentioned)? Hmm, I use W98SE and have 512 MB RAM, just wondered why it worked for you and not for me. Other guy,is that kind of language really necessary? And it&#39;s a free download, so whats the complaint? http://www.gamershell.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

Crunch, just read the description of the demo and you will see that there are problems with optical mouse...I guess the only way to fix this is to use a &#39;standard&#39; mouse http://www.gamershell.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

As for the other &#39;elite&#39; guy who complains about this demo:

1) It&#39;s free and nobody forces you to download it. Unlike G*Spot and other sites, we don&#39;t ask you to pay to get it.

2) Of course, it&#39;s still *beta* since the full game won&#39;t be released before end october. And, in my opinion, it&#39;s much better to release a demo - even with lots of bugs - and try to correct them BEFORE the game gets released, rather than releasing the whole game and try to fix it later with tons of patches.

Amen to all that stuff&#33;&#33; BTW like your site&#33; http://www.gamershell.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Hey all. Can a Admin or moderator merge this thread into an existing IronStorm thread? I didn&#39;t mean to start a new IronStrom thread until after I after I clicked "New Topic". I was really ticked after playing the game and wasn&#39;t in the right frame of mind. Good thing I don&#39;t own a gun.

Or better yet change the Topic from "Mouse movement" to "Another IronStorm thread" or something.

Thanks in advance guy/gal.


For all those unhappy with IronStorm go try Battlefield 1942 multiplayer demo. Now that&#39;s an awesome game. Network code still needs more work tho. But awesome game none the less.
