hey guys, here is a question that has bothered me. What Mouse do you use? I've begun the quest for the best mouse. This though occured to me after being beaten by bamf. I was so desperate I though chaning mice might work...

Or maybe I could blame my mouse, Any whoo, here is my mouse, The one i have is slightly older than the one in the pic. but same concept, Thumb operated.

I have one of those in a box somewhere,
can't seem to be able to give it away. I'm
currently using a logitech wireless optical
mouse. Eats batteries, but it's convenient
and works rather well.

I've always liked logitech mice - used mechanical mousemen for a long time, an optical mouseman for a few years, recently got an MX300 'cause the left-click switch was dying on the old one.

It is very important to keep your balls clean. And whatever touches your balls. Mouse balls of course.

Yo Ant.

That is a mouse. These desk thingies, i gues you could call them rats. Or RUS (rodents of Unusual Size). Man I wounder how bzflag would be with one of those! I like the trigger click.

Devs: can bzflag be played with a joystick?

I use emachines mouse. I just bought an emachines computer about 1 year or two ago, and it was just a complete package: monitor, keyboard, CPU, and mouse, but it works nicely. Just like any other mouse.

I have a Logitech MX700 wireless optical mouse. It is absolutely the best mouse I have ever used, EVER.

I have the wireless keyboard also.

I am also a fan of the Logitech wireless optical mouse. It works great on most surfaces, and it's USB. I have it plugged in plus my normal ps2 mouse that came with the computer. WinXP doesn't mind having two connected, either will work fine at any time.

The wireless is way better for bzflag, and if the battery dies, I am unlikely to be killed right away because I just bring the other mouse forward from the back of the desk.

can some one point me to the SDL version of bzflag 1.10.4?

Thanks

The Red Baron · Post by **The Red Baron** » Thu Jul 29, 2004 11:40 pm

ok, i found the SDL, I think Downloaded it from SF, it downloaded as a *.txt opened it and like i thought, it looks like gibberish.

Then again, pretty much all coding looks like that to me.

instructions anyone?

SDL support is in CVS NOT in 1.10.x

It's a build option, so you'll need to be able to compile BZ to use it.

The Red Baron · Post by **The Red Baron** » Fri Jul 30, 2004 12:01 am

durn it, i thought so.

Tupone · Post by **Tupone** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 3:41 pm

In SF - patches, someone has produced a patch to apply SDl changes to the 1.10

good luck
