Can't rotate the camera. Please help

01-07-2004, 06:36 AM

I know the readme says that it's only possible with the mouse. But I can't even do it with the mouse. I got microsoft Intellimouse explorer 2.0 and I can zoom with the wheel, but how do i rotate the camera? I have tried different settings for the middle button but nothing helps, I even tried disabling it.

Will it work in the final version?

Thx, ind advance

Dunno about your mouse, but I take it that there isn't an option to press it. I have some logitech mouse and the wheel functions as a third button when you press it.

But the wheel is also the third button on my mouse, but it has no effect in the game.

Go to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Mouse and have a look at what middle mouse button is set to. Try changing it to 'Middle Button'

But there is no such option for my mouse. I know I had that option on my old mouse from logitech, but not on this microsoft mouse.

If all else fails the num pad will also have the mouse button functions too.

are you using the standard XP drivers for the mouse ?

if so, they're a bit ass. try downloading the intellipoint drivers for it (hell you should have got a cd with them on). they enable u to customize the buttons all to hell

THanx for all your help. But nothing helps.

I got the intelli drivers, and can customize everything exept setting the wheel button to be the "third" mouse button. I can set it to anything you can imagine exept that.

I have a similar problem, but I can push the scroll button to turn the angle of the camera. My problem is, that I can't zoom. The scrolling has no effect.

Why aren't there any keys on the keyboard for zooming?
