Just a quick note about how I (finally) got my mouse 4 and mouse 5 buttons to work the way I wanted in Thief: Deadly Shadows. I also managed to get the left/right rocker action of the scroll wheel to page back and forth through my items while the scroll wheel itself scrolls through weapons. Very nice.
I’ve got a Logitech G5 mouse, and I just downloaded Setpoint from Logitech’s website. I couldn’t get the mouse 4 and 5 buttons to register my keyboard actions no matter what I tried. I even downloaded and installed uberOptions, which I believe ended up being totally unnecessary.
Then, instead of selecting t3.exe as the program that received the actions, I selected t3main.exe, which is another file in the system folder that you don’t actually run yourself. Voila.
It really works nicely. I guess the key here is picking not the program that you run to start whatever game you’re gonna play, but rather finding the program that will be running when you need to use the commands. Hope someone else finds this useful.
[…] When they said you’d be fighting bugs in this game, I think I mistook their meaning. The game’s first annoyance was that when I looked at the key-mapping screen, I couldn’t use my mouse’s 4 and 5 buttons. Also, you can’t adjust the mouse sensitivity. I decided that at some point, I’d have to go back and use Logitech setpoint to adjust the sensitivity and hack in mouse button functionality like I’d done with Thief: Deadly Shadows. […]
