After installing NOLF2 for the first time on my current desktop PC, I cannot get the mouse buttons to bind. I cannot fire with the left or use/open with the right (default mouse bindings). The Configure Controls menu shows those bindings as "unassigned". The menu allows me to assign the mouse buttons, but if I click "OK" and then return to Configure Controls menu to view those new settings, anything I assigned the mouse buttons to has reverted to "unassigned".

 

Moving/clicking with the mouse works great in all of the menus, and simply looking with the mouse works great in-game, but I cannot get the mouse buttons to work in-game due to their assignments disappearing.

 

I have tried setting the NOLF2.exe file to Run as Administrator and also to run in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode. Still no luck. Has anyone seen this issue before?

Edit the config file on your desktop then copy it back in. (Sounds like this is a Windows 7 issue about file writing)

Some file can be a "read-only" one and that can give you problems about modifying it.

It's not a read-only issue with Windows 7 but the way it is set to not allow writing of files directly in certain areas, such as Program Files etc.

 

All you have to do is edit the file, save it to your desktop then copy it back into where it came from.

I understand the logic of editing the autoexec.cfg file, but I do not understand the syntax of the key bindings. What should I change here?

Use this code for your mouse section:

 

enabledevice "##mouse"

rangebind "##mouse" "##z-axis" -255.000000 -0.100000 "PrevWeapon" 0.100000 255.000000 "NextWeapon"

rangebind "##mouse" "##y-axis" 0.000000 0.000000 "Axis2"

scale "##mouse" "##y-axis" 0.003500

rangebind "##mouse" "##x-axis" 0.000000 0.000000 "Axis1"

scale "##mouse" "##x-axis" 0.003500

Thanks, E1! Adding that code and making the autoexec.cfg file read-only fixed my mouse button issue!

 

 

Glad to help.
