Right-clicking on the Mac

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,781 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 You may not be aware of this, but as a work-around on the Mac I have the game display the context-menu of an object when you just hover over it (rather than right-click it which is what you have to do on Windows). I'm assuming a 1-button mouse of course. Personally I find this annoying when playing (I never had any complaints about it, so maybe it's just me)? Is it really necessary, or would it be better with this work-around removed? (I know you can 'right click' using a keyboard key+mouse button?) ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jul 25, 2007, 2:38 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,781 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Right, that's it. Would you prefer having to do that to having the context menus auto-appear when you hover over an object, which is how it is now? ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jul 25, 2007, 4:40 pm

*viKKing* Skulls And Bones Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 4,249 Joined: Oct 12, 2006 I'm using a 2 buttons Logitech mouse... Maybe matching to Apple's requirements may be a good idea. ......................... vet cont zom slay2013 marshal wv Posted Jul 25, 2007, 4:56 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,781 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Er.... .. so is that an answer of "yes" or an answer of "no" to the question "do you want the auto-appearance of context menus removed"? ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jul 25, 2007, 5:46 pm

I'm not the only one even if I'm the most present... I would like point of view of some of our players... So, it's: wait and see.  ......................... vet cont zom slay2013 marshal wv Posted Jul 25, 2007, 7:58 pm

*DoubleTap* The Ghosts Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 895 Joined: Jul 13, 2007 Sam, it doesn't bother me at all, because I've never seen it any other way. Option click might work better, but I don't have any problem with the scrollover. ......................... vet marshal wv Posted Jul 25, 2007, 8:09 pm

*JD_Basher* Gearjammers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Storytellers Posts: 2,728 Joined: Feb 11, 2007 Sometimes I have a problem with the auto-menu interfering with clicking on prompts like the "Looting is about to commence". In fact it was a main cause in my having to leave a game loot because it would not let me click the prompt "ok" button. When you have hovered over a car and seen the info given, then move the mouse elsewhere, the same info shows up again when you hover over a prompt or try to 'manage' your car again interfering in races and slowing my response time. So "YES" I think it should be removed and replaced with the right "control" click ......................... vet marshal wv cont Posted Jul 25, 2007, 8:34 pm

*Speedealer* Fish Heads Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 922 Joined: Dec 11, 2006 what JD said. it sometimes gets in the way of another pop-up but it's easy to reposition the screen to get rid of that problem. But I could go either way. Maybe try the right click and we can experience the difference and then decide? Also, if you do go with the hidden menus, please make it accessable by either the control click or a 2+ button mouse. I use a logitec too. ......................... marshal vet combat1 race1 northernsummer combatL1 Posted Jul 25, 2007, 11:19 pm

Seiler Pestilence Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Storytellers Posts: 946 Joined: Apr 29, 2007 I'm accustomed to using a multi-button mouse as well, and right clicking to bring up the menu would be handier, often the menu pop-ups interfere with game handling, especially when I'm simply trying to get car info by click on a vehicle with other cars close by. Maybe something in the options menu- a single button mouse mode? I'm currently using the Apple Wireless Supermouse, so bleh to all you logitech users ......................... vet deathrceL1 wv Posted Jul 25, 2007, 11:52 pm

I really love the design of Apple's mice, but this one is really too fragile.  ......................... vet cont zom slay2013 marshal wv Posted Jul 26, 2007, 12:02 am

*viKKing* Skulls And Bones Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 4,249 Joined: Oct 12, 2006 Yes it is DoubleTap. Right click is Control + click if you don't have a 2-buttons mouse. ......................... vet cont zom slay2013 marshal wv Posted Jul 31, 2007, 7:31 am

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,781 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 I might need to un-implement it however, since control+click wouldn't work for jd. In fact what I will do is make it into an option. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jul 31, 2007, 7:49 am

In fact what I will do is make it into an option. No need to unimplement it for me......You gave me the zip patch to make it like it was before, I can work with it... Kinda got used to it. Although an options would be nice for when I 'finally' get off my butt and get a mouse with more than one button. (Dont know if my little mind can take it though!... hehehe) edit: I kept the zip file in case I need it again. ......................... vet marshal wv cont Posted Jul 31, 2007, 9:31 am Last edited Jul 31, 2007, 9:32 am by *JD_Basher*

That's not a good idea in fact, since any future changes to other stuff in that file (it handles all the interpretation of mouse clicks) will be lost if you replace a patched version with it. I'll definitely put in an option; it's the best solution. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jul 31, 2007, 9:57 am
