swg mouse flickering

val · Post by **val** » Sun May 04, 2008 12:31 am

Hi, I've just downloaded IS and tried to use it with SWG and it seems to work, except for the mouse cursor flickering, i can't click with precision on a button, both in login screen and in game.
I've tried searching a bit and if I'm not wrong some EQ people have been experiencing this too but it has been fixed.
How can I get rid of this flickering?

great program btw

edit: from what I've been able to understand, it seems to load both windows cursor and swg cursor, and as you move the two cursors unsync, and the windows seems to be the one actually able to click anything, but you can't see it only swg one flashing.
I've tried to disable hardware cursor from swg setup, force window mode from IS config, yet no luck.

(sry for double posting, couldn't find edit button

I will look into it, thank you for the report. Also, the windows cursor "is" the hardware cursor, so if you were to ENABLE hardware cursor, it should function properly. But, that's in an ideal world where SOE games function properly

It will take some time for me to be able to look into this issue, so please let me know if you have no other use for Inner Space other than SWG, and I can refund your payment and let you know when the issue has been resolved, and you could re-subscribe at that point.

hey lax, thank you for the quick reply

well actually the mouse cursor is only a secondary problem, It is annoying yea, but the real problem is I can't get innerspace working for the main use i grabbed it for..sending keystrokes from one session to another, aka dualboxing

I've just started searching so maybe I'm just missing something, I don't want to waste your time, btw I found this thread http://www.lavishsoft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3712 and I tried to set it up.
For example if i put in the script
bind space "space" relay is2 press "space"
(actually "barra spaziatrice", since i'm italian) it jumps on the first sessions but not on second one.
The only things I've done in IS config is checking lock foreground and adding the keybinding script.
I start the game with IS so I have is1 and is2, I've tried also octopus and other programs It just won't pass anything to alt char, just like it did without IS

thank you for the help, sorry i'f im asking already answered questions

k I've done a bit of searching and tried some commands to relay keys from is1 to is2.

I am setting the keybinds.iss as explained in this thread
http://www.lavishsoft.com/forum/viewtop ... ne&start=0
so if I make a script like this

function main()
{
bind X "X" relay is2 press "X"
}

and i set up the profile to load it on startup.
When I press X, both in is1 and is2, the RELAY is working, and X key is actually pressed, but only in is2.
So if i press X my main char doesn't receive the command, while my alt gets it. Looks like I'm halfway through now

what's the exact command that will make me press X on is1 window, and have it send to both is1 and is2?

also, I've had to uncheck lock foreground, since all it was doing was making my characters struck and unable to move, blocking some of the keystrokes.

another minor issue, on first post I wrote that my italian keyboard "spacebar" is "barra spaziatrice" but if I write it in the keybinds I get bind failed in session console.

sorry for the nubish feedback, I hope this helps

update: i fixed the first problem, my script code now is something like this
function main()
{
bind Q Q "relay is1 press Q;relay is2 press Q"
bind -press W W "relay is1 press -hold W;relay is2 press -hold W"
bind -release W W "relay is1 press -release W;relay is2 press -release W"
bind E E "relay is1 press E;relay is2 press E"
bind X X "relay is1 press X;relay is2 press X"
}
and works like a charm on both sessions.
I think I'm going to use /follow and /assist in game instead of passing movement keys anyway.
I still can't script spacebar, but it shouldn't be an issue.

ok, basic things are set up and I'm dual boxing SWG now, thanks to IS

sorry for the spam in this thread but I wanted to update it and point out what I've been able to figure out alone and where I do still need help.
So things I couldn't fix are:
-spacebar
-mouse flickering
-use IS with other programs like octopus, it would make life easier for me since it has an easy set-up, but I can't use it, it just doesn't pass keystrokes/clicks same as without IS.
-if that is not possible, I'd like to know if it's possible to set keymaps for IS, for example
1=both character toolbar slot 1
alt+1 = first character only slot 1
ctrl+1 = second character only slot 1

thanks for the assistance, sorry for the mess ^^

nvm last question i figured it out ^_-

function main()
{
bind ALT+3 "ALT+3" relay is2 press "3"
bind ALT+C "ALT+C" relay is2 press "C"
bind ALT+V "ALT+V" relay is2 press "V"
bind ALT+E "ALT+E" relay is2 press "E"
bind ALT+Q "ALT+Q" relay is2 press "Q"
bind ALT+F "ALT+F" relay is2 press "F"
bind ALT+R "ALT+R" relay is2 press "R"
bind ALT+T "ALT+T" relay is2 press "T"
bind 1 1 "relay is1 press 1;relay is2 press 1"
bind 2 2 "relay is1 press 2;relay is2 press 2"
bind X X "relay is1 press X;relay is2 press X"
bind Z Z "relay is1 press Z;relay is2 press Z"
bind mouse4 mouse4 "relay is1 press mouse4;relay is2 press mouse4"
}

only really annoying thing left is mouse blinking, makes pretty hard to click on toolbar and ..well everything

I have seen the mouse blinking issue on my SLI setup. The fix was to update my nVidia drivers.

This isn't the problem here. I have the same problem and I have the latest drivers for my nvidia 8800.

is there a fix for mouse flickering? It makes it extremely hard to play swg with this.

this mouse flickering seems to be due to dx10(vista). Since innerspace is made for DX9 and doesn't do this on XP I assume my only option is to install XP 64.

Errr.. DirectX 10 only applies if the game is coded for DX10. Otherwise, it is using DirectX 9 -- yes, even on Vista. DirectX 9 is installed separately from DirectX 10.

I will have to find my SWG account in order to test this.
