Virtual VR Mode: Change the look binding to MMBUTTON

Aug 16, 2016 yodaofborg link
Sure, its just a test right now, but using the right mouse button as the "look around" key kind of makes it so I cannot use rockets, or any weapon bound to a secondary fire group, which makes the whole thing kind of useless.

A suggestion would be to change this to middle mouse button. Sure, some people probably use that for stuff too, but I would wager it's a much smaller % than people who use the right mouse button for something! Of course, a better solution would be to allow us to rebind it, but without use of the right mouse button, it makes this mode practically useless for me (and I bet others too).

Bindability is always good.

But I'm not sure why you're calling it practically useless. Just set your weapons to trigger 3 instead of trigger 2 and fire them with the middle mouse button. It's not as convenient, but it's certainly not useless.

I've tried, it's kind of my fault I know for using the right mouse button for secondary fire for over 14 years. Muscle memory or some such, I keep trying to shoot with the right mouse button, even though I know it doesn't work.

Also hitting the middle mouse button in most cases is not as practical as the right button (in my case its a press of the mouse wheel). I sure as hell don't need to look around when I'm in a fight, but when I do want to look around - I don't need to react quite as fast - so pressing the mouse wheel down is more practical for that.

So, it's been on my "short-term release target list" to make this a bindable key for the last two weeks. Each week, Ray tries to get that out by Friday, but it's a lower priority than our more critical stuff.. which has been a lot of important housekeeping and server-side updates and such. The last two weeks we've had things drag on longer than expected (like the migration to Amazon SES last week dragged on through Monday). So, fingers crossed, maybe this week it'll come out.

It is in the works, anyhow.
