Mouse appearing ingame
« on: January 23, 2007, 09:41:00 pm »

Is it normal for the mouse to appear? And if so, is it also normal for it to be usable? Like when I was designating rooms to be dug out, the mouse appeared and when I clicked, it set the spot I clicked to be dug out. I then set it to remove designation and when I clicked on the spot, said spot disappeared! It also worked with k when I clicked near the edge of the screen. The mouse stayed for the rest of the session(Which was short after I discovered this).

Holy ####, what have you done to the game?

 ;)

Yes, that is standard. The game doesn't have full mouse support yet, but some areas do use it. I tend to leave it alone, both hands on the keyboard makes things easier than switching back and forth with the mouse.

Hmm. Well, I did not expect it to be normal, but I'm guessing that this will be a far cry for all the mouse-users out there.

I don't remember it working with stuff like roads and farm plots - now that would be useful. For purposes other than defining column rows in a wide mining area, the mouse is currently a worse choice than the keyboard.
