Remove "Mouse movement" and "Keyboard movement" messages

Post by Yrogirg »

It was irritating me for so long and at last I'm asking how to remove "Mouse movement" and "Keyboard movement" messages from the console.

Comment them out of the source code and recompile...

Do you use both mouse and keyboard to move? If not, you can force your movement to a specific device (keyboard, mouse, or joystick) in the Input Settings menu. Then you would not get those messages.

Yes, both. Keyboard for major driving and jumping, mouse for shooting and small/precise speed for jumping. The problem is I usually use keyboard to rotate tank while mouse for forward motion to prepare for jump. And when I do so the whole console is overflowed by these messages.

Well, I don't understand what's the use of these messages, unless you are figuring out some hardware problems, but it has nothing to do with the game itself.

The game doesn't really support using multiple input devices for movement at the same time. So the only reason you're getting that is because you are doing something that wasn't expected to be done. You have access the code, so you're free to change how it works.
