Yomo Kimyata Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I agree with the premise that an inverted mouse should maybe not be the default (which I don't think you can change?). I despise your inverted post, however. 1 1 1 Who run Bartertown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game does not need it’s defaults switched to the opposite 17 years after we’ve gotten used to it. And then your annoying post format just made it 100x easier to justify blunt disagreement 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheZag Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Anyone that needs settings changed for a new character needs to save settings on a character that is set up and load them on new characters. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.I.D.A. Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 If you want to change the settings' default state, you can save the default options in-game, or edit: <Homecoming Install Folder>\settings\live\options.txt This will change the default options settings for new characters. For reference, "normal" mouse settings in a game should consider the direction a movement makes you look. Moving the mouse up should make you look toward the sky, moving it down should make you look toward the floor, moving it left should make you look to the left, and moving it right should make you look to the right. However, many older games (re: CoH era) consider not the direction a movement makes you look, but the direction a movement moves the invisible camera behind your screen, which is horribly unintuitive and results in the "normal is inverted and inverted is normal" behavior that CoH has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that I'd call this "unintuitive." Maybe it comes from being a big flight sim buff, where (like in normal flight) pushing a joystick (or mouse) forward makes you dive - IE, head towards the high-drag region known as "ground," or look down - and pulling it back makes you climb. But even without that, if you move your head forward, eventually it's going to tilt down, and pull back = up. I've found the other way to be the unintuitive one, and utterly impossible to get used to. 2 2 Done with the Kheld "community" here. Since they obviously don't care about anything lore wise and crap on people who do. Kheld backstory guide might be uploaded in a non-Homecoming location when I finish the revision. No, it may not be put on the HC wiki, and what was there of my first one has been removed. Please do not reupload. I'm not giving the people here the benefit of the work just to be crapped on and told "lol, lore for a lore based AT, doesn't matter, f you."

I think the first game I ever played where it mattered was Super Mario 64, and it used "inverted" the same as a flight sim. Ever since then, it's always felt natural to me that stick/mouse go forward = "down," stick/mouse go backwards = "up." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I forget if it was Diablo or Neverwinter that used different methods which made it hard for me to switch if I didn't configure stuff to be consistent with CoX. However, I always felt it was on me to reconfigure which iirc, could be done on all those. (And then after CoX shut down, I stuck to Linux stuff until being dragged back, and thankfully, CoX runs great under Linux) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biostem Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 This thread reminds me of how many early 3D games that used 2D backgrounds, (think Resident Evil), would kind of "remember" your control orientation, even if the perspective shifted, so you may have to continue to press down to move forward, even if you were now moving away from the screen. Regardless, just set your controls the way you like, then save them so you can quickly reload them on any future alts you create... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
