Mouse control in EQ1

everquest · Post by **everquest** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 10:28 pm

Finally got IS Toolbox to open 4 instances of the game and the key i designated to switch between them works too ! Woot !

But when i select each window , i cant use the mouse to left click anything. Not sure why , but i can use the mouse to lets say , bring the cursor to the place i type in a password , and i can even move in the game by holding both buttons.

But it wont let me press a button of any kind , any thoughts? Did i miss something?

It sounds like the mouse positioning fix for EQ1 isn't being applied. I didn't get an answer from you on this one in IRC: Did you use Add Game and name it something other than EverQuest?

I need to change how that's implemented so it bases it on the game executable (eqgame.exe) instead of the name specified in the configuration...

well i waited almost 3 hours in IRC for you to come back , im sure you were doin something i understand.

Basically i now have my chars launching right , on 2 comps ive tried this. Basically theres an issue with the mouse on the smaller screens , on the big screen ( when i try 1 big 3 small ) The big window works small ones cant click stuff right.

I went through the settings for a long time and looked / tried alot of mouse related stuff , wheres this mouse fix?

Should i name the game something other then EQ to fix it? ill try that quick now before bed.

The EQ1 mouse fix is built into Inner Space. It only applies if the Game name you are launching is EverQuest. You say you dont know how to set No Patch so I guess I have my answer -- you probably used Add Game and did not name it EverQuest. If you had, the mouse would probably work fine for you, and you would have a No Patch option for Game Profile.

My recommendation for now is to use Add Game again, and name it EverQuest.

Game name Everquest already exists( i can name it Everquestt but theres no option for nopatch so when i select default profile it does not open right.

What should i do?

Fixed. You left from IRC about 60 seconds before I made the breakthrough, seriously. You should now be able to use whatever resolutions and window layouts you want (but it will LOOK the best if each region is the same aspect ratio as the game's resolution, if not the same size). You should be good to go though, update IS to 4867.
