Hiya,
Im just wondering if there is anyway of mapping mouse buttons 4 and 5 of the Microsoft Intellimouse in Quake2 ...I'm sure someone else has asked this but i have searched the net and found nothing on this subject ....any Ideas ???

Thanks

There is!

I use the intellimouse setup prog to map a key to one of the extra mouse buttons.

I then bind the key to a Quake(X) command.

When the mouse button is pressed, the command executes.

To make that a little clearer...

I would setup F12 to be activated when I press Mouse button 4.

In the Quake setup I would bind F12 to, for example, next weapon.

In the game, pressing mouse button 4 *should* activate the next weapon function.

That should work

The best thing you can do with an Intellimouse Explorer is bin it and buy a real mouse.

I just spent dosh on the Intelli mouse explorer so I won't here a word against it!
Yeah, I figured the button3/4 thing in a trice (I used fuctions key too,) but, what I was wondering was...is the wheel another button too? I don't mean scrolling the wheel, I mean clicking down on the wheel (for that other scroll mode).
I've found it a great mouse, but, it seems over sensitive at first. I went from using a weapon sensitivity of 8 to 4 (2 with sniper in AQ2). Not possible with me old trusty netmouse pro (a good, sturdy, contender) god bless it's wee rubber encrusted wheels.

may sound silly but have you tried using 'bind mouse3' in your cfg

OK there must be more than two different mice available on the market or are we all using each other's mouse he he he
