Re: [hlcoders] Logitech mouse third button in HL (update)

[Cortex]

I don't need anyone on my computer :) More seriously, it works ;) I use now my 4 mouse buttons in HL :)   Thanks to all helped me :)   -------------------------------------------------------- Cortex HL Albator coder & mapper www.hlalbator.fr.st -------------------------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: leming To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 26, 2001 10:43 AM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Logitech mouse third button in HL (update) I'm with tom in that it can get more confusing trying to remember what you had a button (or key) bound to when you have more keys to deal with. Considering that hundreds, probably thousands of people get along without custom binding every peripheral in their possession to control a game, I think I'm safe in saying that you don't need to bind anything extra than the defaults. If it isn't working at all for you, say screw it and just play the game. Its about the game, not a contest to see who can have the most insane binds. Also to add onto what Tom said, if you set a button on your mouse to a function that isn't used in the game by default, you can just bind to that function instead of the button itself. I bound my mouse4 to F12, and it works as my comm button for roger wilco. A whole lot easier than trying to hit F12 while playing the game, I'll tell ya that much =) If you can't get it working by now, get someone on your computer who can get it working, or it would probably be best to just leave it as it is. -- leming At 15:31 12/25/2001 +0000, you wrote: >in the logitech setup, bind mouse4 to shift, and then in hl bind shift to >whatever u want mouse 4 to be and it should work.
