[solved] Disable Crosshair Move Mode?

Since I couldn't find anything:

In-game I usually move the camera with the middle-mouse button, keep pressed (so on release, move mode is finished).
But every now and then when the games comes to a critical and hectic stage, I mis-click (middle button shortly clicked) and end up in the "crosshair move mode", which is a bit annoying (since it's a hectic moment).

Is there a setting to disable this mode completely?

Just a quick reply, it is indeed possible to disable this, but I don't immediately recall the setting.

My hope rises! :-)

it's quite annoying when in a battle instead of selecting units the camera suddendly moves unexpectedly away from the point of interest :wink:

Unless 98.0 changed something:
Type this command ingame : /set MouseDragScrollThreshold -1

Yeah, that was it, I was looking for MouseDragScrollThreshold but it's not in springsettings.cfg, so you have to give that command each game/ for each new spring.exe?

By the way, relating also to the topic, there is another crosshair move move that gets triggered with backspace. You can disable that mode by creating a file named uikeys.txt and in it put this command:

Code: Select all

unbind			backspace		mousestate
maybe also this:

Code: Select all

unbind        	Any+backspace  	mousestate
Do people actually use all these weird move modes?

I use them, although I use them with middle mouse rather than backspace.

Cool. That's it! This makes my day :mrgreen:
Thanks a lot!

Just for reference: setting in config file:
http://springrts.com/wiki/Springrc#Mous ... lThreshold

After setting it once in game it was automatically saved to the springsettings.cfg.
