T3D and Cursors

#1 Have you tried the TGEA resource for custom platform cursors?

I have not tried this in T3D, but in TGEA, there are two distinct cursor systems, platform cursors (HW/OS cursors) and GUICursor (a sw cursor). In TGEA then platform cursors are enabled by default (although calling setMouseLocked seems to switch to GuiCursor).

So If you don't want the mouse locked to the window, I would try and merge in this TGEA resource for custom platform cursors

#2 I have this working at home with a custom cursor, so if you haven't figured this out by this evening I'll post what I've got at home... but IIRC, it was something like:

setCursor('YourCustomCursor');
$cursorControlled = false
lockmouse(true);

And if this is on the playGui, I'm going to assume you've already removed .noCursor = "1"?

#3 I'm sorry for the slow response, time difference here, I just woke up. I'll give that a try. The NoCursor is removed already but didn't try the mouselocking. Will give it a go after I finish up with work.

Update: Lockmouse works. It is slightly annoying in that you will have to alt-tab if you are in windowed mode to get out of the app. Performance is pretty low on the software cursor though and when holding the right mouse down to look it loses focus and you lose the cursor. Probably will need to use the first suggestion and implement hardware cursors.

#4 I implemented the platform cursor resource with no problems today. Only change necessary was the core/unicode.h being moved to core/string/unicode.h. This works much better, performance is better. It does lose the cursor when you move out of the window. Though that should be simple to fix up by putting some code in the regain focus area. Haven't looked at that yet, but I'm guessing a simple change.

#5 Thanks Tim Dix as I was having the same problem as well.
