Mouse doesnt work properly with new version

Post by TradeMark »

Been lazy to report this, but the mouse doesnt act like it acted before: when i use windowed mode and moved some element in the game at the sides of the window, it moved there perfectly, but now when i do that, it gets stuck on my mouse cursor, because my mouse cursor goes outside the window few pixels and when i release the mouse button, the game doesnt register it, since its outside of window.

Its kinda annoying when that happens, usually it happens with the resource bar, when i accidentally move it, and then it gets stuck on my mouse and i panic to get it off xD

Most annoying is that the game end form gets stuck like that... now it takes longer than second to move it out of my way when i test maps >_<

Imo the resource bar should only be movable in tweak mode. Ive never once moved it out of need, but many many times by accident. Use resource bar plus btw :)

the problem affects to every possible mouse movable object in the game, not just resource bar...

something was changed in manner of mouse controlling in new spring release o.o

I agree that the resource bar shouldnt be able to be moved by mouse, ive fucked some games because of that XD (first i move it in middle in accident -> then i try to move it back in panic, but instead of moving i press in the start of metal sharing, and give all my metal out XD etc.) should move with some other button... maybe with doubleclick or something like that

The mouse was made much more accurate, but jK didn't put in code to track the state outside of the window.

It gets clicks instantly, even if you're at 1 fps.

Isnt it the hardware mouse cursor which you have to enable in springsettings first?
I remember to had strange problems when testing around with it so I disabled it again.

That's only the display, not the input.
