Can't move the hydrophone controls with the mouse

[erahmig]

Hi,

I'm having the same problem as is documented in this thread http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=238115 - I can't move the hydrophone controls with the mouse pointer in a Gato class sub. The Home/End keys do work, as does the mouse scroll wheel. It's just the mouse pointer that doesn't work.

CapnScurvy created 2 flavors of a mod to fix this problem:
* one for the stock v1.5 game (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=4099)
* one for the the game with OTC installed (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=4098)

Unfortunately for me, I have GFO installed. Both GFO and CapnScurvy's mod change NSS_Gato_CT.sim.

I searched for a GFO-compatible version of CapnScurvy's mod but could not find one.

Does anyone know of another mod that fixes the hydrophone controlling issue for GFO?

Odd. I've never noticed this. I just use the mouse wheel...... It's so much easier. I thought clicking it to move it was SH3, and for SH4 it has always been the mouse wheel.

Yeah, I didn't notice this either until I tried a Gato class sub.

And, it's not that I mind using the mouse wheel. It's just that for me scrolling via the mouse wheel is very slow. One full turn of the mouse wheel ends up turning the hydrophone only a small number of degrees.

If I want to do a full 360 degree sweep I feel like I'm turning the mouse wheel for hours . I'm obviously exaggerating but it's ... less than ideal.

I'm guessing you've tried clicking everywhere? I can confirm clicking works in my S-Boat in FotRSU, but that doesn't really help you. Have you tried moving the camera a bit? Sometimes the placement of the camera prevents you from interacting with things.

What mod are you playing with? You should be playing as far away from "vanilla" SH4 as possible. Vanilla SH4 is just awful in my not so humble opinion.

Yes I have. Thank you for double-checking though. No matter where I click the mouse is captured and, after that, any subsequent mouse movement just moves the camera view instead of the hydrophone controls.

When I get a second I'll test Gato in my set up. I'm sure she will have the same problem in FotRSU. Looks/sounds like a stock issue built into the game.
