Mouse works in all other apps/games?
Try different mouse.
Check button configs.

Sounds like your FPS changed to over 100-120. Cap it at 100

When you put in your D3 CD, it brings up the launcher, when it does, go into Setup, then on the right most tab, at the bottom there should be a space that says \"Command Ling Parameters\", and in that blank, add -framecap 100

download and install this
http://www.geocities.com/deonvdw/Docs/PPJoyMain.htm
then this
http://geocities.com/carl_a_kenner/pie.html
cut paste this code into PIE and have it running while you are playing D3:
or just load up the whole MouseJoystick.PIE file and have that running. Or hell... write your own.
ps: PIE also works with voice activation, you could set up up to just scream \"FUSION!!\" at it ^_^
Code: Select all
one = said(\"laser\") or said(\"lasers\") or said(\"super lasers\") or said(\"one\")
two = said(\"vulcan\") or said(\"vauss\") or said(\"rail gun\")or said(\"mass driver\") or said(\"two\")
three = said(\"microwave\") or said(\"napalm\") or said(\"fire\") or said(\"flame thrower\") or said(\"three\")
four = said(\"EMD\") or said(\"homer\") or said(\"plasma\") or said(\"green blobs\") or said(\"four\")
five = said(\"fusion\") or said(\"barneys\") or said(\"omega\") or said(\"five\")
say(\"Sorry Dave, i can't do that\") = said(\"open the pod doors hal\") or said(\"open the bay doors hal\")
say(\"Yes Dave?\") = said(\"Hal?\")
haha, i'm havin fun with this

oh wait, you don't need PPjoy afterall. All you need is PIE
http://geocities.com/carl_a_kenner/pie.html .
- just grab PIE (it's small)
- paste that one line of code i just quoted into it, then
- click RUN.
- Then run descent3 and try your mouse-fusion. (PIE will be running it's constantly script in the background while you play descent3)
- (when you are done, press stop)
PIE is \"Programmable Input Emulator\" - it can make any input device emulate any other input device. What that one line of code is doing is pressing (and holding) the Right CTRL button everytime you press the left mouse button. It will keep doing this while it's running, so click stop on PIE after you're finished playing descent.

sorry man, i was just in a shitty mood when i replied...
but um, i opened the program, put in the program you wrote, hit run, played d3, but still got the same result, as if i never had the program in the first place. i tried just pressing the control button anyway instead of the mouse to see if it worked, and fusion charges fine
so im stumped.

which CTRL, left or right?
the PIE script i gave to you emulates the RIGHT CTRL. but if you use the Left CTRL - then change it. You get what i mean yes? Use either:
or
also you may want to edit your controls - delete your mouse fire setting. (hit Ctrl C while it's selected)
run the pie script and try again.

i dunno, doesnt seem pie is working at all... is there anything else i need to put in the program to make it work?

i was editing my post while you replied.
While PIE is \"running\" it's script, it works in everything until you \"stop\" it. ie: it will even work in notepad.
I'll walk you through it if you have an instant message program

Let's see.. Quoted from
this post:
psionik wrote:If you have experienced:
Vauss firing from one side
AB stuttering
Fusion rapid fire or no/unreliable charge
Rapid fire MD
And you have to cap your fps to make it stop...
You no longer have to do that, or do any binding of mouse buttons to keys with special software, although this software works right over top of that with no problems for those you with 5 button or more mice. There is a program called
PPJoy
(hehe) that will install a virtual joystick driver, and by running the accompanying PPJoyMouse and leaving it up you can emulate joystick button presses with your mouse.
After you Add the virtual stick using the control panel for ppjoy you have to click modify on the same panel and set the mappings for it, I set mine to have two axes, 3 buttons, and 1 hat. I do this because the driver looks for axes and a hat and if you dont have them there in the setup giving null input then it sees them as being cranked and screws up your attempts to map functions in game by mapping them all to POVUP as soon as you hit enter. Also the joystick driver fights with the mouse in the control setup screen so you have to click it a few times to get it to register with btn1, btn2, etc. but once it's done it's done. Furthermore, during the mapping setup it maps the mouse buttons to digital0-digital2 in order by default - the trick is that there is no button0 on a stick so the workaround is to switch the order.
mouse button 1 (primary weapon) = digital1
mouse button 2 (secondary weapon) = digital0
mouse button 3 (afterburner for me) = digital2
The point is to have digital0 on the mouse button that fires secondaries as they do not need to charge and so are unaffected by the framerate bug.
Make sure you run ppjoymouse before d3 and that d3 sees the joystick in the launcher setup, and you should be good to go.
Why is this better than X program that you already use? I don't know, but it rocks for me.
Don't forget to uncap :]

um..
just try un-installing your mouse and it's drivers.
Reboot.
Install both again.
reboot.
If it continues then. I would suggest reinstalling descent. If this happened suddenly, it suggests that something corrupted.
(assuming you didn't install anything new prior to this.
Also, do a thorough virus sweep. Use several different programs if you can.
Try the reinstall first though.

heh...
I don't use PIE. It never worked on my computer. Try using PPJoy, set up a virtual joystick with at least 3 buttons and 1 hat switch. Then run PPJoyMouse in the background. There is a thread somewhere here on the DBB, but I can't search for it right now.
