Filbin Posted June 1 Posted June 1 Hi, I've been searching the forums for about an hour and am giving up. I played this game at launch in 2004 until I had to give it up for my new family and just found it again. I'm trying it again because I remember it fondly and wanted to introduce my kids to it. I have a character in the tutorial, and I can't seem to run anywhere that's not a straight line unless I stop and turn. It doesn't feel right. I could be misremembering things at my age, but it seems like I used to be able to run, and with the mouse look or holding the left mouse button, be able to steer around things smoothly without stopping. I've poked at the settings and key binds and haven't found anything. Anyone want to help an old player? Thanks in advance,
High_Beam Posted June 1 Posted June 1 I run forward and steer by right-click-holding the mouse. 1 Girls of Nukem High - Excelsior - Tempus Fabulous, Flattery, Jennifer Chilly, Betty Beatdown, Totally Cali, Two Gun Trixie Babes of War - Excelsior - High Beam (Yay), Di Di Guns, Runeslinger, Munitions Mistress, Tideway, Hard Melody, Blue Aria Many alts and lots of fun. Thank you Name Release For letting me get my OG main back!

I've done it habitually for so long, I actually hit mental blue screen trying to remember what the mechanics of it were. I could not come up with the explanation. Edited June 1 by MTeague .

Not even the earliest versions (circa 1909!) - they just have the names of various types of booze emblazoned on them. A bit like how Skittles don't actually contain the letter S. Plenty of sugar and artificial flavouring though. But none of that left-pondian high fructose corn syrup muck.
High_Beam Posted June 1 Posted June 1 I just came out of the Wine Gums rabbit hole; Jelly Babies, Screamin Jelly Babies, other candy science experiments and ended on a guy doing a redo of the crash VFX from the movie Air Force One. 1 Girls of Nukem High - Excelsior - Tempus Fabulous, Flattery, Jennifer Chilly, Betty Beatdown, Totally Cali, Two Gun Trixie Babes of War - Excelsior - High Beam (Yay), Di Di Guns, Runeslinger, Munitions Mistress, Tideway, Hard Melody, Blue Aria Many alts and lots of fun.

Darrk Waver Posted June 1 Posted June 1 (edited) Is this what you are wanting? I use it on my mouse so I don't have to hold down the mouse button. The only drawbacks are you cannot delete inspirations out of your tray (this impacts Awakens) and you cannot bulk sell salvage to the vendor. Remapping Your Mouse to Control Your Movement If you are not satisfied using your keyboard to control all your movement, you can bind navigation and movement keys to your mouse buttons to give you greater mouse control. The following examples assume you have a four button mouse: /bind RBUTTON "+forward$$+mouse_look" or just /bind RBUTTON "$$+mouse_look" /bind LBUTTON "-mouse_look" /bind MBUTTON "map" /bind BUTTON4 "+up" /bind LSHIFT+RBUTTON "+backward$$+mouse_look" /bind LALT+RBUTTON "-mouse_look" The first button is the basic navigation command. When you click mouse button 2, the mouse enters "mouse look" mode. The mouse pointer disappears when you move the mouse to the left or right, your character turns left or right. When you move your mouse up or down, your character looks up or down (and if flying, your character tilts up or down). Now every time you press down on mouse button 2 your character will move forward. The second binding ends mouse look. When you actually need to use your mouse to click on something, click on mouse button 1 and your pointer will reappear. The third mouse binding causes the zone map to pop up whenever you press mouse button 3. Mouse button 3 will probably continue to stay mapped to +camrotate, so you can still use it rotate the camera around your character. It is alternately annoying and amusing to see one happen when you are only interested in the other. The fourth mouse binding allows mouse button 4 to control when the character jumps. The fifth mouse binding acts just like the first, only instead of going forward the character moves backward. The sixth mouse binding allows me to right-click on objects with my mouse when I have the left alt key pressed down in order to bring up the pop-up menu.
