mouse sensitivity?
 

hi all

I have a small question, how to set mouse sensitivity for SHIII? right now getting the periscope on a target is painful and aiming the deck gun is impossible :P a small move from the mouse makes it swing wildly...

I dont want to change my windows mouse sensitivity so is there another way?

I don`t know which mod(s) you use but i press left ctrl.

Left ctrl make a moves slower
left shift make a moves faster

Once again, something new! I love this site :up:

Mind you, if you stand on its tail it will start swinging wildly again :03:

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know that.

What, you didn't know Jimbuna is a Zoologist?

thanks!

heres another small question... how do I make it not go back to speed 1 every time I receive a message? it drives me crazy when searching for ships with my hand constantly on the + to increase speed again. :doh:

Use the options in SH3CMDR.

Exactly what I was looking for!! Thanks. Subsim is the best. :salute:

I believe there is also a fix for this in H.sie's patcher....

Yesterday I bought the game on Steam after seeing some YouTube videos, and was immediately annoyed at how twitchy the camera rotation was, so I did some digging and found a hard-coded floating point constant that can be used to tweak sensitivity. It's located at offset 0x11daa4 in sh3.exe (seems valid for both raw Steam and h.sie patched one), and by default is set to 1/600. Thus for instance changing bytes like this to reduce it to 1/3600 makes all camera rotations with the mouse a lot slower:

Maybe someone can make a more convenient way to do this, but it works for me :)

welcome aboard!
 

Welcome to SubSim a.g. :sunny:

hello a.g. and wellcome,

it works on my machine too!
but i think that you made it very slow now.
if we want ,for example,...1/1800 what are the values that must be entered ?

I normally set my OS mouse sensitivity high, so I needed a lot of correction (although after a bit of play, maybe 6x is a tiny bit too much even for me :)). The value is just a single precision floating point number, and here's a lookup table generated with a quick script:

1x slower: 0e 74 da 3a (i.e. original value)
2x slower: 0e 74 5a 3a
3x slower: b4 a2 11 3a
4x slower: 0e 74 da 39
5x slower: 3e c3 ae 39
6x slower: b4 a2 91 39
7x slower: 34 a9 79 39
8x slower: 0e 74 5a 39
9x slower: 45 2e 42 39

I put those values from the table into a small patch kit, because I didn't feel like making a custom program to change the value arbitrarily. I also couldn't find how to upload files here, so here's a dropbox link:

Great!!
 

Thanks a lot a.g for this batch file.
For me, in first person view in SH3, the mouse sensivity was also way too high.

I'm using the /2 slowdown, and it is much better now.

Thanks for sharing this!

Welcome back
 

Worth trying this simple fix.....
 

Hello All,
First post....and good to be here.
Just did a GWX reinstall and I ticked the "synchronise" box in the video options page. Jumped into the nav academy lesson to check things out and it felt better on the mouse straight away, a lot smoother. Did a quick test (held down ctrl + arrow key and timed one full rotation of `scope with the stopwatch....easy) and found that it halved the rotation speed, compared to unticking the synchronise box and running the same test.
Works for me so a good result methinks. :)
13 secs vs 27 secs......
