Mouse 2-5 Keys? Also, scrolling with mouse.

It would be nice to see winbolo improved with the ability to use the Mouse4 and Mouse5 (side) buttons on newer mice. That way, I could use them to zoom the X-hair in and out. There are a few keys you can't use, but they work fine for other games, so I don't understand why they can't be fixed. Also, the mouse2 button (right click) and mouse3 button (mousewheel click) would be useful for Tank/PB view. Scrolling the mousewheel up and mousewheel down would be helpful for this as well.

On another point, I think manual (keyboard scrolling and the auto scroll both suck, such a pain to mouve your hand back and forth, can screw you up). Instead, a feature should be implementedso you can use the MOUSE to scroll up and down on the screen, simply by moving your cursor. (Like, if i move the quare cursor/builder square up, the screen would scroll up.

If all of these features were implemented, then it would make Winbolo much less of a challenge to control. Two hands in two spots, not switching anywhere.

W: Forward

A: Left

S: Down

D: Right

Shift: Mines

Space: Shoot

Delete*/Mouse2 (Right Click): Tank View

Home*/Mouse3: (PB View)
*Depends on your keyboard, on mine they are right beside each other Delete is really big.

Mouse: Scroll/Build

Mouse4/Keypad Enter: Zoom Out

Mouse5/Keypad Plus: Zoom In

I created something like this a while back that completely controlled the tank via the mouse, however I don't have access to the compiled binary or source anymore.

Download Min's borg template and add mouse control to the directinput wrapper.

Download Min's borg template and add mouse control to the directinput wrapper. Took me a few minutes so it shouldn't take too long for a uber h4x0r like yourself. :roll:

Where is Min's borg template?

And I meant the scrolling, not the tank... but I suspect it's about the same.

Here's a quick mash I put together. It lets you control the crosshairs with the mousewheel.

I'll work on it some more and get it to work with the other mouse buttons.

Thanks to min namik and Elvis (the real one) for base code n'stuff.

I'm guessing someone figured out my ninjer identity then told everyone on mIRC (admin?) Doesn't really matter :P I didn't expect to get away with it anyways.

Anyways, TY for the borg, I haven't DLed it yet but hopefully it's not pr0n.
And no, I haven't a clue how to program like this, but I hope to learn. :D

And I'm sure other people would find this useful as well... makes handling all controls without your hands scrambling much easier.
