Mapping mouse buttons
Im not to sure where to post this as i don't know if its a bug or not, but i'm unable to map 2 of my mouse buttons, LMB/RMB/MMB and wheelup/down map ok, but i have 2 extra buttons;
Mouse4 and mouse5, these are the names givin to them in other games i've managed to map them to. i was just wondering wether these buttons are unsupported or its a bug?

try all caps ie MOUSE4, cause i know with my joystick you need all caps
So how do i do that?
It won't let me type "MOUSE4" in the controls section, also if i hold down shift and click mouse4, nothing maps, same with capslock.

It's unsupported, but probably not difficult for us to support, and I am certain we will add support.
Technical explanation:
I know how to fix this for Linux and MacOSX (they send button numbers to us) but I'm not really sure what mouse event we'd get under Windows (Windows' GUI code assumes there are three buttons and a mouse wheel, pretty much - there's WM_LBUTTONDOWN, WM_MBUTTONDOWN, WM_RBUTTONDOWN and WM_MOUSEWHEEL). So there's probably some WM_ event I'm unaware of that it sends that we are not presently using.
If anyone knows, we can probably add this in the next patch or so.

Ah-ha. Perfect. Thanks!
I would definately like to see this with the linux client... wouldn't have to use the keyboard anymore with my mx510
for what it's worth, i would also like these buttons active, and i think there are more of us. they can be supported at the application level, so if you could make them active in vendetta it would be GREAT.
While we are discussing the mouse buttons, how about differentiating the numpad keys from the top row, and left/right Alt and Ctrl and adding support for mapping various *super* keys, like the windows key or mac equivelent (I guess that probably won't work in windows, but it would be nice for linux).
I vote for mouse button 4 and 5 support also ;)
