Trying to build your own version of Vega Strike and having problems? Unix users, paste your config.log here (stderr output alone is not helpful).

no mouse control in space -- solved

Post by pyramid »

When compiling from last SVN I cannot control the ship in spcae with the mouse. Otherwise mouse is working when docked. Any idea what might be the problem?

Check your setup and make sure that mouse control is enabled.

My vegastrike.config has the following entries:

#set Mouse inv_glide_mouse
#set MouseCursor fancy_cursor
#set Joystick no_joy

They work well with the 0.4.3 release.
And the problem is that mouse works when docked, however not for controlling the cockpit. I couldn't find any other setting that is different between the release version and my compiled version, so I must assume that it is compile related.

pyramid vegastrike.conf is an XML file so

Code: Select all

#set Mouse inv_glide_mouse 
#set MouseCursor fancy_cursor 
#set Joystick no_joy 
are actually just comments what you want to change is abiut 30 lines down try syntax highlighting in your text editor both kwrite and gedit support it.

Enjoy the Choice :)

Thanks loki, now I've got the sense of the config file.
