Camera Moves

by Richard Bottoms · in RTS Starter Kit · 03/12/2005 (4:58 pm) · 7 replies

I can't seem to zoom in on the battlefield in the RTS demo.

I can move L-R/Forawrd/Back. Alt-c gives me a white screen unless I press F8 first. Al have are tiny flyspeck characters seen from directly above.

All this works fine using the vanilla TGE and Ligthing Pack code, just not RTS.

I compiled with VC7++ running on XP Pro and an HP 9500 NX.



Thanks,

Are you using the mouse wheel?

Then you will need to remap the keybinds to a different input. Take a look at /client/default_keybinds.cs, and keybinds.cs, and delete your config.cs.

Wow, I was just going to post this exact same issue! Haha, I have a trackball also!

Except when I press Alt-C I dont get another camera, Stephen the World Domination mod took that away, didnt it?

Neither of those files exist. Forum search doesn't turn up any clear instructions about what to do after I delete config.cs. I have 3D Game Programming All In One but there's nothing in the index regarding keybinds.cs.

I know this is my #1 issue to harp on going back three years, but there are some times where I expect to just be given explicit instructions on how to make certain tools and technologies work. Open Source & Freeware I don't mind the go figure it out mode at all. When I pay for it, I just want to be told how.

Please.

Sorry, it's default.bind.cs in stock RTS-SK.

Found it. What exactly do I add to make my trackball work?
