rofl opitcal mouse and it only happens on q2
-
ya optical mouse and WIRELESS
-
I dont know but its a q2 engine thing not dp specific. It happened alot to me I would wait for Jitspoe to explain but I doubt he can fix it,well not doubt but this is q2 specific for me and all q2 mods have this. At least Jitspoe can make sense of what I am trying to explain or mabey.not, I am hard to understand. >:(
-
maybe you should make a loialnesse - english dictionary ;)
-
I don't know what's causing it at this point. I usually can't fix something unless I can reproduce it.
-
I encounter this problem sometimes, too. I will be playing along, and then all of the sudden I will look up and then look down and start spinning around at like 100 mph. rofl.

Does your mouse ever act quirky outside of the game? What OS are you using?
-
I have never had a problem with my wireless optical mouse outside of the game. I am using Windows Xp Pro w/ Service Pack 2 on a custom built computer that I built myself. ;)
Here are the basic specs of the machine:
AMD Athlon Xp 3200+
512 megs DDR PC3200
nVidia nForce 2 Ultra 400 chipset
USB wireless optical mouse and wireless keyboard on separate wireless channels.
-
Are you running in windowed mode or fullscreen?
-
Fullscreen at 1024 by 768 at a 60 hz refresh.
BTW jitspoe, I registered for the forums as Burt_Gummer, but for some reason I am having trouble getting the activation email (I have tried 2 different email addresses)
-
Try running it in windowed mode and see if it still happens.
As for the activation email, it may have been blocked/spam filtered out, or there may be something wrong with the server. I went ahead and manually activated it.
-
that same thing happened to me
first time i tried was with the name of cobo but never got my activation email and i sended it a lot of times.
so i tried with this name and i got the email right away.
btw jitspoe can you erase the other account it is named CoBo.
-
i am in windowed....
-
lol cobo, you had a typo in your email before: homail.com.
At least... I assume that's a typo... o.0
As for the spinning issue, I really have no clue what's going on there, so I posted on quakesrc about it.
Although, maybe it's something completely unrelated to mice -- did you happen to have a joystick or gamepad plugged in that you might have bumped? Just stabbing in the dark here.

It onyl happens with optical mouses on the q2 . Lol first time it happend I thought some one wrote a script in the code that was exploited :) paranoia will destroya

:P it was a typo
-
I don't see why it would make a difference if the mouse were optical or not, and I've never seen it happen before...
-
spinning... spinning....... spining...
spinning rims!
-
I saw an 16-wheeler on the road the other day with spinning rims. It was weird.
-
lmao no joystick
haha i say a motocycly with some...
-
I am using the windows driver. Helps? No matter the vidio card or or q2 version/ MOD
-
Well, after further research, it appears it's a mouse issue and can happen in any game.
-
thanks.

Funny, how come this never happens in any other first-person-shooter that I have? (I have played through the original versions of Half-Life, HL Blue Shift, HL Opposing force, and other old games like that on my Athlon Xp 3200+ machine. I have the nForce 2 Ultra 400 chipset on my mobo if that makes any difference.)
-
How often does it happen? Do you have to completely restart the game to stop it, or can you just move the mouse around? What happens if you go into the menu -- can you still use the cursor? If you run in windows mode, hit ~ to get the windows cursor -- is it doing anything funky?
-
It just happens. I can't exactly tell when it will happen, but I will be going along, shooting some people, and then all of the sudden I will look up and then look down and then start spinning around like im doin some kinda funky dance. rofl
-
But how do you stop it?
-
It stops on its own, and I kinda move the mouse up and down and left and right.
-
But how do you stop it?
or jump
-
ya i move around my mouse and try and walk around but never tried jumpin
-
yea this always happens to me, but i thought it was my mouse cause one of those pad things on the base is missing. It didnt use to happen, but since i downloaded build 14 it does, although that could just be co-incidental. Its friggin annoying though
-
Well, this is the thread I started on QuakeSRC about it: http://www.quakesrc.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5337
Perhaps try a different mouse and/or mouse pad? I assume yours is optical, too?
