Scourge of War Boards

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

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.

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.

Thanks very much for this helpful information.

is this problem related ?

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

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)

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?

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

Fellow Generals

A question about keyboard button action assignments...Is there a text file with
all the keys somewhere besides the Help file

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
