I can't get this damned microsoft intellimouse's wheel to work in any of my damn games. No weapon change in quake 3 is quite annoying

. Can anyone help my extremely ticked off self. Ah g'wan

Does the wheel work in windows?
If not check your device manager.
If so, then **** about with the console commands, must be in there somewhere... cl_crappyM$mouse_enable 1 or something

Yeah, it works in windows, but NONE of my decent games will even think about it. Bah i say, bah

Hmm, just played the q3a demo and it seems to work, only for a short period of time though. Most of the time it only works long enough for me to setup controls. Once I enter the game, it's bye-bye wheel. The button under it works all the time though. Ah well, I guess it just doesn't like me filling my head with that violent nonsense

Try adding the q3a exe to the Intellipoint excluded list. Might help.

Steven · 28-02-2000 12:47AM

Nope, tnx anyway tho. Anyone else have any pearls of wisdom

I had the same problem, if you download the latest version of the driver that should sort you out

I had the same problem - I downloaded the latest version of the driver - I still have the same problem.

What's worse is I can only use 3 buttons in tfc

in yer system settings
instead of using the windows intellimouse drivers (if yers is a ps2 ) try just selecting the ps2 compatible port mouse !
the wheel should work fine !
It may not be the best way to have it but "if she works,she works"
try it anyway

Happens with Intellipoint 3 (New Intelli-eye mice have it, maybe the others too). And the original Direct-x 7, direct input.
Download DirectX 7a and it should work fine in Q3 ....
Still can't get it to work in UT though with Direct Imput enabled. I think there is an Intellipoint update but I haven't checked.

Blitz , if you have an IntelliEye (If that's what you mean by only having 3 buttons,as opposed to it's 5) you can use them indirectly.
Go into the Button setup screen in CTRL-Panel/mouse, set the side buttons to something handy (I use CTRL and Shift). Then go back to TFC and set the controls as normal - pressing the side buttons will show up as whatever keys you just aliased, and it'll work fine.

Amazingly, after trying all those suggestions, the wheel started working today for no reason. Heh, go figure

Illkillya · 04-03-2000 10:12PM

same happened to me - i was told to delete all mouse lines from the cfg, but i didn't bother, and it just worked
