Is there not an option to do that in Windows mouse properties?

Re:reversing mouse buttons in graw fps 1 year, 12 months ago #2741

i have it set to reverse in windows now. But in ghost recon advanced warfighter it reverts back to the original setting.

So, there are different potential ways of going about this. The first option is the easiest, if it works. Just run the exe file I've attached to this post. It's a super simple program I just threw together the functionality of the left and right mouse buttons in most situations. If that works -- awesome! If not, you can kill the program by right-clicking (which would technically be the left button) the little icon with the "H" in your system tray & choosing to exit.

Option number two: remap the functionality of the two mouse buttons in-game. This is probably not simply a matter of going into the controls section of the game's option and changing the corresponding keys for the actions in question, because I assume you probably would have done that. So, that means you're probably going to have to do some "hacking" to pull this off. I should be able to help you figure out exactly what you need to do, though, so don't worry.

You'll have to forgive me as I've never played this game, so I'm not really familiar with it. First thing's first: does it have a console (the thing that pops up when you press the "~" key on the keyboard?

when i press the console key (~) in game all i get is the order menu to give soldiers orders.

Yeah... that's what I was afraid of. With more and more emphasis being placed on cheating prevention, console access is becoming less common.

So, if that option is out, there's only one other possibility I can think of -- hope that all of the controls (not just the ones that are customizable in game) are bound in an .ini file. That's the way it worked with the latter Splinter Cell games; some controls at first seemed to be unalterable, but by going into the correct file, you could alter a couple lines of code and do whatever you wanted.

Okay, so let's try and figure this out. Browse to the folder on your computer that the game installed to. On the same level as where the main .exe file that starts the game is (this should be right inside the main folder, not deeper inside), you should see one or more files whose names end in .ini . Sea any? If so, tell me what they're called.

i can not locate any .ini files anywhere in the graw.exe After that i ran a computer search, i still could not locate it.

Hrmm. Seems strange that a search wouldn't show up *any* of them. There are countless ini files on any Windows system. Maybe your computer is set to hide the file extensions? So you might be looking at the file and not know it because you don't see the ".ini" part? Either that, or perhaps it's a hidden file.

If by some chance the file we need doesn't exist for this game, I'm not sure what the next step would be. Maybe you could try to shoot an e-mail to the folks that make the quadjoy? They might have a way to tweak something in their drivers that would swap the functionality of the sip & puff actions.

Re:reversing mouse buttons in graw fps 1 year, 11 months ago #2767

i found other .ini files not related to the game in windows 7. I see nothing in the game files. Maybe if i use glove pie, in other games people helped me write script. But i have no idea how to work with glove pie.

Yeah, I'm thinking that won't work. There should be no fundamental difference between the way that Glove Pie handles emulating input and the way that the program I attached higher up in this thread does. The problem is in the way that the game receives input from the mouse. With some games, your interaction with the mouse (or quadjoy, trackball, touchpad, whatever) is interpreted by the operating system, which then relays the interaction to the game's engine. In those cases, you can "trick" the game with methods like this by changing the functionality of buttons. Other games, though, receive their input directly from the mouse hardware. In those situations, I'm not sure there's much that can be done short of actual hardware modification (or driver modification).

i can not find the exe file in the post.

Sorry about that! Apparently it was too large a file (more than 120kb), so it never attached.

I threw it up on my server, so you should be able to grab it from here:
