Mouse buttons set [Solution found]

Post by gaka01 »

Hello guys,

I'd like to know how i can set one of my additional mouse buttons (mouse4 or mouse5) to pause the game because my current mouse's wheel buttons isn't working :\

I looked through the settings.ini file but i think the key settings only read keyboard events and i wouldnt like to mess with it alot.

thanks in advice!

Oh... hmm, the keyboard bindings were added to avoid forcing people to play with the mouse, so i guess additional mouse button options were forgotten.

Best idea i have is to try and bind a keyboard input to your additional mouse buttons. Try these:

mouse3 (middle mouse button) should work as paused for most systems. Did it not work for you?

I apologize, I somehow failed to read your actual post. I'll see if I can provide more customization options for mouse buttons in a future patch.
