NiGHTMARE Posted April 2, 2002 Heh, using only the keyboard in games like Return to Castle of Wolfenstein, Medal Of Honour and Jedi Knight 2 must be pretty tricky, especially with all the snipers in these games :) 0 Share this post Link to post
spank Posted April 2, 2002 dsm: include the line "+mlook" in your autoexec.cfg et voilà, instant permanent mouselooking! 0 Share this post Link to post

dsm Posted April 2, 2002 Hm well, I tried the "+mlook" command in my config.cfg file and it worked. Thanks for the tip Nuno, even though it was a different file I edited :-) Now I just need to get used to playing Quake with the mouse+keyboard combination. 0 Share this post Link to post
mmnpsrsoskl Posted April 2, 2002 Originally posted by Lament Ok, here's a good question for all you keyboarding freaks: How long does it take for you to turn 180 degrees? About a second? With the mouse it's practically instantaneous. In deathmatch you often need to turn backwards, and then forward again - all while continually running - and if it takes you two seconds to do that, well, you're dead. No time at all with a custom script...are even if it is built into the game/engine/port....just look at Boom for instance. Press / and presto! And consoles are good because you can get a lot of good games that are console specific...well I mean they don't appear on PC... And the Dreamcast GD-ROM was not slow in any way...it was able to fill out the entire memory of the Dreamcast in less than a second... Bah either way the Dreamcast was and still is a good console... 0 Share this post Link to post
IMJack Posted April 2, 2002 Originally posted by dsm I have to admit that I still play Quake1 with keyboard only - I can just never get used to having to press a mouselook key, before being able to look up and down. In the console, type +mlook. I think you could also put this in a config file, although I never had much luck keeping it for more than one map. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted April 2, 2002 Originally posted by mmnpsrsoskl No time at all with a custom script...are even if it is built into the game/engine/port....just look at Boom for instance. Press / and presto! Yeah, good idea. Divert your attention to another almost useless key. I don't think there's a valid arguement about the benefits of keyboarding to tell the truth. 0 Share this post Link to post

NiGHTMARE Posted April 2, 2002 Err Lüt, ever heard of changing the mouse sensitivity settings? Most FPS's these days let you go from ultra-jerk city to so smooth it's actually unplayable (i.e. turning is too slow) :) 0 Share this post Link to post
dsm Posted April 2, 2002 I don't see the reason to create such a damn fuss. Some like it with a mouse and some like it with only the keyboard, let people have their own control settings dammit - it's not like we're bashing each other's favorite games here. 0 Share this post Link to post

There was also an old Japanese Nintendo game that was supposed to improve your psychic powers.
