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?)

Right click is 'control' + click on Os X

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?

I'm using a 2 buttons Logitech mouse...
Maybe matching to Apple's requirements may be a good idea.

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"? :rolleyes:

Hahah, I can decide for the whole Mac community... 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.  ;)

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.

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

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.

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
:p

Shouldn't it be named "mightymouse", a very nice but fragile mouse?
I really love the design of Apple's mice, but this one is really too fragile.  :thinking:

Time to upgrade, Sei. The scroll wheel kicks ass (among other things.  ;) )

Lol, I got mine for 35 bucks in the purchase bundle. If I'm spending 100 bucks nowadays, it'll be something for one of my rifles :)

Has this been implemented? I could not assign a gunner to a weapon last night, no matter what I did.

Yes it is DoubleTap.
Right click is Control + click if you don't have a 2-buttons mouse.

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.

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.

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.
