Disable Fire on Mouse Buttons was created by mhe
Hi there,

I'm new to saga, but I've played several other Freespace 2 Mods. I also like to experiment with interface solutions. Currently I'm doing a Saga profile with a Touchscreen software called Helios (originally intended for combat flight sims, but it has a powerful editor that can produce profiles which can send keystrokes etc).

So far everything is running good, but since the touchscreen is actually doing a mousebutton keypress (due to how Windows handles touchscreens) when I touch one of the touchscreen buttons, my ship fires every time I press something on the touchscreen.

Is there a way to un-bind weapons fire from the mouse button? I don't even remember binding it and haven't found anything so far in the option menus. Any ideas? :?

in the bottom right-hand corner of the options menu there is a "control config" button with a hellcat icon from there you select weapon config and change the bindings for "fire primary weapon" and "fire secondary weapon" I know this cause I play with a mouse and have an itchy trigger finger that wastes missiles and screws you up on the first mission of the prologue campaign.

also your rig sounds cool please post a pic or video of it in action :D

I'll give that a try, thanks for the info!

But the fire buttons are button 1 and 2 for me - the buttons on my joystick! Why does the game use the mouse buttons as well?

EDIT: I just checked - the game ignores device input ID. Button 1 is button 1, irrespective of whether the mouse or the stick sends it. So basically, it is not possible to have the stick fire on button 1 without having the mouse fire as well on that button. So I have to remap everything. Again...

You can check out the build log of my setup here: Clicky!
It's in a german-speaking forum, so if you have some questions, feel free to ask. :)

My Helios profile build is just a work in progress, only a few buttons and switches I have thrown together so far... But once I'm finished I'll release it on the Helios homepage.

This is what the profile looks like so far (just started today, so not much to see yet):

(Sorry for the large picture).

I'll keep you posted if you like. ;)
