Cursor Q for menu gurus

Moog · 12-03-07, 03:57 PM

I asked this briefly on the OLC GUI thread but my post is getting buried without a response so I'm wondering if anyone else here can help...?

I run the game in 1680x1050 widescreen using the custom d3d9.dll thing and haven't encountered a problem until now. I'm using GWX 1.3/OLC GUI and LRT with the necessary patches but whenever I click out of a view that can be captured (periscope, bridge view/binocs, free look, etc.) in order to free up the mouse cursor, the cursor itself always reappears in the same position.

This isn't a problem in itself but when I move the periscope and then click again to get the cursor back, the cursor reappears in that same spot which unfortunately coincides with the TDC depth setting control on-screen, changing it to 1m every time.

Is it possible to edit some sort of 'default cursor recapture' coordinate in the menu_1024_768.ini so that the cursor is offset to return to a neutral position on-screen that won't interfere with any interactive control?

Any help would be much appreciated! I like having my torpedo depth settings ready to go in advance. Once I get this sorted out all I'll have left to do is actually hit a target for once

I think nobodies tried this because its such a short distance to
walk to the bottom of the screen and most have other fish to fry
so to speak when they take up modding.

imo anyway

What do you mean by walk to the bottom of the screen? This TDC thing may only be a minor gripe in the grand scheme of things but believe me if it was affecting you too then you'd want to get it working.

I realise I'm in the minority by running the game in widescreen so I appreciate that the modders wouldn't have something like this high on their agenda but I merely reckoned that a one-shot cure could be achieved easily by tweaking some coordinate values or something similar, hence my appeal to anybody with the necessary expertese. I guess it can't, and I've since found a workaround.

The SH3 modding community is probably the most talented and dedicated bunch of folks I've ever seen get behind any game, and it's a travesty that their influence doesn't hold more sway with Ubisoft.
