Mouse Not Working Correctly in Base Editor

[BlackSpectre]

Wow, I actually need help for myself for a change! I guess all of the slash command testing I've been doing lately has messed things up. I can select a base item but as soon as I try to drag it, it deselects. 

 

The editor itself also seems sluggish. 

 

I tested it out an a different computer, and I get the same results. So it seems like it's somehow account-wide.

 

Even so, I did reset my binds to no avail. I loaded another player's binds... while both outside and inside the base editor. Nothing. Any ideas?

I'm sure you're familiar enough with the actual game files, but here is what I've got in the following files. I don't modify things much, so they're nearly vanilla. Alternatively, you Could backup your current file, load the defaults, save them, and then compare to what you have now.

Oh and IIRC, you may need to remember to save your changes per existing character, but I'm not 100% on that.

Thanks. I loaded both of your files up, binds and options, and still the same problem. 😞

 

[GM Crumpet]

Does a clean install do anything? The problem with a lot of the slash commands and the reason only certain ones are public is that they can do very odd things behind the scenes. To compound the problem commands that worked fine on live may bork all sorts of things now we are years of fixes and updates past where live was.

[BlackSpectre]

You might be onto something. I'll try a fresh install.

 

Would a Custom Window affect the base editing at all? 

[BlackSpectre]

Just wanted to say thanks. I got it working. 

 

Right before I was going to reinstall the game, I decided to look over on a 3rd computer I have, a windows laptop. That copy of COH seemed to work fine. So, definitely not an account issue. So I decided to save wdw, options, chat, and binds. Then I copied ALL of the files in my "live" folder to my other computer and replaced its files with these new ones from my laptop. gfx.json, client.json, keybinds.txt, options.txt, wdw.txt, and chat.txt. Loaded them all in, and then restarted the game. Magic. Everything was A-OK!  

 

I still don't know exactly what the problem was, but I'll try to figure that out in a couple weeks when I have time. I've saved all the old files so I can compare them. 

 

For the record, a reinstall of the game would have definitely worked. And @wanderingaries, your files should probably have worked too (not sure why they didn't yet). Thanks for trying to help. 🙂

If the txts didn't do it, then it was probably the jsons.
