Solved - MouseWheelRev=1

[voltigeur]

This option doesn't appear to work in the game using the entry in default.ini in the [options] sectopm, can someone confirm this please or is there a different spot to pop it. Unfortunately I am so used to this in SOWGB it is proving problematic

Edit: solved, needs to go in the ini file in the c drive SOWWL documents folder. yay!

thanks

cheers

[Jean Lafitte]

Could we expound on this topic a bit, please?

MouseWheelRev=1 is typed into which .ini file ?

Which folder/directory can is this file located, please?

Thanks.

[Leffe7]

The Waterloo ini files are not in your \Work folder as in Gettysburg, but in your Users Documents\SOWWL folder. It is also mentioned in the Manual.

I recommend to create a shortcut to that folder on your Desktop so you can easily access your ini and logfiles.

[Jean Lafitte]

Thanks very much for this helpful information.

[zu Pferd]

is this problem related ?

I can't tilt the camera view because the middle mouse button/wheel brings
up the courier message pad instead ??

[Leffe7]

This sounds strange.
Can you please copy/past your SOWWL ini file and your keyboard.csv file here.

Alternative ways to change the camera view are:
- Position the mouse cursor in the toolbar area, then HOLD right-click and move mouse
- HOLD CTRL and move mouse around (I may be mistaken on this, if not CTRL, then it is ALT)

[zu Pferd]

Thanks for the response Leffe7
I have a strong suspicion that the middle mouse button is broken...here is what you asked for

Hi zu Pferd

your settings look like default and ok.
Can you connect a different mouse and see if the middle mouse still brings up the courier menu, please?

[zu Pferd]

problem solved Leffe7 sometimes I forget to turn my brain on.
nothing wrong with the mouse.

So Thank You again and a big round of applause for the developers

all the keys somewhere besides the Help file

Thank You

A question about keyboard button action assignments...Is there a text file with

You can take a look in the Manual p.74-80 for Keyboard Commands.
You can also customize the keys in the keyboard.csv file you alread found
