Gamer1389 · « **on:** May 03, 2007, 07:27:28 pm »

Back in 2006 a thread was created about this. A moderator replied saying if it wasn't already implemented, it will be next update. Well 1.4 is now out and I can't use my extra mouse buttons.

I have a 8 button mouse and I would like to put use to it in one of my favorite all time games. Soldat.

Thanks.

Oh wow, that would be awesome. I'd like to see this too.

There already are five buttons to your basic scroll wheel mouse. And they can all be implemented.

Now, about your Logitech mouse....I'm assuming it's a Logitech, right? They're the only multi-button mice I've seen.

First make sure that the computer recognizes the buttons. Do this by setting an icon to a certain key, and set it to a mouse button. Set the Soldat shortcut on your desktop (for example), to Mouse7. If you hit the button and Soldat opens, then you should be able to map it.

If it doesn't, make sure you have the proper driver for that mouse.

Good Lord, I hate Windows...

And, if all else fails, use FIRE. Oh, wait, this is Soldat, not Zelda 2.

If it won't map, and your computer detects the buttons, then I'll support this idea.

Same here, I have a...thinking...... 6! button mouse, and I don't like how I can't use the thumb. I use all my fingers on the left side and now the right feels left behind.

#38 · « **Reply #5 on:** May 03, 2007, 10:11:12 pm »

what's the point? the only extra stuff you could do is probably put the nade and throw button on there, but most people don't have all the extra buttons on our mouses

Why not? It can't be too hard to do, and I would put nade to my back button, reload to my reload button (roffle me woffle), and /pwn to foreward. oh wait, you cant.

Gamer1389 · « **Reply #7 on:** May 03, 2007, 10:44:43 pm »

Ok well technically I have a 12 button mouse. 2 thumb buttons, 4 index buttons, 1 middle finger button, and the scroll wheels goes left, right, up, down, and clicks.

It's a Logitech MX600 wireless Laser mouse.

Everything I throw at my mouse, it does. Except Soldat. I use my mouse for everything, and I would like to with soldat.

I'll see if there are more recent drivers for my mouse though.

EDIT: nope, I have the most recent driver. So.. When will I be able to map Mouse4 and above?

Hiro · « **Reply #8 on:** May 03, 2007, 11:11:50 pm »

Uh...WOW...That's quite a mouse you have there.

All I know is that right click, left click, scroll wheel push and scroll wheel roll up/down work on mine. I suppose if it doesn't work for you then either MM needs to do something or you could use a program to make the extra buttons map to unused keys on the keyboard. Then you could map the controlls to those keys and be off.

Toumaz · « **Reply #9 on:** May 03, 2007, 11:21:42 pm »

Full support.

Gamer1389 · « **Reply #10 on:** May 03, 2007, 11:56:07 pm »

Aight i'm taking this to General Discussion so we can get more support on this.

neon · « **Reply #11 on:** May 04, 2007, 05:55:33 am »

i'd support this aswell, i'd probably buy a mouse with more buttons so i could do i

Will · « **Reply #12 on:** May 04, 2007, 06:08:38 am »

I think I played soldat with a 8 button mice before at my friend before I had a computer(before 1.2.1). I think I put one of the side buttons to throw grenades. So how come this isn't possible then

Deadeye Rob · « **Reply #13 on:** May 04, 2007, 07:09:21 am »

So your saying that those with multi-mouse buttons cannot use them at the moment?

I own a typical 2 buttoned mouse with scroll wheel. I use the button of the scroll wheel as the drop-weapon command. But yes, it i would support this idea.

Gamer1389 · « **Reply #14 on:** May 04, 2007, 11:23:40 pm »

No, I cant use my extra mice buttons.

Fernin Ker · « **Reply #19 on:** May 08, 2007, 10:09:37 pm »

I've tried to map the commands to my mouse (a logitech Mx500) but the game only recognises the two regualr buttons, and the scroll wheel (in only on direction there I might add). That leaves me with seven button functions I can't use in Soldat, but work prefectly in any other game I play...

Gamer1389 · « **Reply #20 on:** May 24, 2007, 11:53:20 pm »

Bump.

I want this, and I have supporters.

SirJamesaford · « **Reply #21 on:** May 24, 2007, 11:55:13 pm »

wow this is a great idea... its about time i use those buttons for more than back and forward thru the internet explorer.

Avis · « **Reply #22 on:** May 25, 2007, 12:45:45 am »

Yup, F12.

As a temporary solution, some mices support binding a button to a key or macro. Then it can be used in Soldat like any other key or button.

But if it's possible within MM's stoneage version of DirectInput, then why not.

R1ZE · « **Reply #24 on:** June 04, 2007, 09:29:34 pm »

F12.

My Mouse has a left-click, right-click, scrollwheel-click, scroll up, scroll down, and two thumb buttons. I can use the standard left/right + scrollwheel as functions, but the two thumbs I can't. I can use them in firefox/IE to go forward/back a page, though, so the problem must be soldat not recognizing the buttons.

Hans Lemurson · « **Reply #25 on:** June 05, 2007, 04:26:00 am »

This would be knife. I'm currently attempting to retrain my middle finger to work the nades on my scroll-click, while my ring takes over its old job of jetting.

Gamer1389 · « **Reply #26 on:** June 06, 2007, 11:21:33 pm »

I'm somewhat mad as to how MM was working on a 1.4.1, and "somehow" hasn't seen this thread....

I haven't played Soldat since I last posted in here mainly to this.... Oh well... Guess time to play some more Return to Castle Wolfenstein: True Combat Elite.

I am grateful for MM for making such a wonderful game that is available to play for free, and when you have the time it would be nice for you to consider this suggestion.

Iron Man · « **Reply #28 on:** June 11, 2007, 08:28:00 am »

i would use this. even for 3 button (i dont really know what scrolling would do...) i'd probly use it for nades since i dont knife a bunch

The Specialist · « **Reply #29 on:** June 14, 2007, 11:36:31 am »

I don't see any reason to not imput this into Soldat. Because of that reason, I support this.

But it may be hard to use all of those extra mouse buttons.

Gamer1389 · « **Reply #30 on:** June 17, 2007, 04:45:25 pm »

Nah, it's easy to use all five of my mosue buttons, my hands aren't very big. However, I can still reach every button, two thumb buttons, left and right scroll wheels action, and then four index finger buttons.

This needs to get thrown in.

The Specialist · « **Reply #31 on:** June 18, 2007, 09:14:58 pm »

I agree. If MM has some extra time to, he'll add it.

haha · « **Reply #32 on:** June 18, 2007, 09:23:33 pm »

well this looks interesting...

BondJamesBond · « **Reply #33 on:** June 18, 2007, 09:49:02 pm »

I use my third button for jets. Would probably add throw weapon and change weapon to mouse.
I say go.

So pritty much, you don't need your keyboard then? ^_^

I support, I have to use my older mouse for this game, and would be cool to add nade, and throw buttons.

[EDIT]

We can't forget about the all important "secret game" MM's been working on, the Chrimson Glory engine (which is 3d) put into 2d, making it alot more powerful.

I remember reading something about this being MAINLY planes, WWI if I'm correct?

Anyway, he also said that there will still be ground combat, but mostly planes. Think a flat soldat map, 50X bigger, and vehicles (well, planes). The screen would have to be big, to compensate on the 2d aspect.

So, right now the list goes like this:

1. CGR (Crimson Glory Reloaded) ;]
2. School/Work/College/University/Sex/Drugs/Pancakes etc
3. Soldat

1.4 will leave us going for a bit, as there are few bugs..

Dude, stop bumping. No one is replying because no one cares anymore - Get over it.

chrisgbk · « **Reply #39 on:** July 11, 2007, 02:40:34 am »

I'm sure some people do care; but bumping for the sake of bumping is pointless, and serves no purpose. If it gets done, it gets done, and if not... well, it doesn't. Since there isn't any more useful information to come out of this topic, and to prevent further bump spammage, I'm going to lock this.

Gamer1389: please don't spam; bumping solely for the sake of bumping is spam, which is against the rules. If you are adamant about getting MM to take notice, you could always send him a PM.
