Scroll Wheel for View Levels

[junk2drive]

I posted a way to use the mouse scroll wheel to change view levels in JTCS over at Matrix. It has had a few views but no comments.

I thought maybe some people here never go to Matrix or don't look in the Mods forum there.

There are times that I like to change the view of the map and would rather use the scroll wheel then press the 1-5 keys.

Hope it is useful to someone.

ooo! I'll have to try that this weekend when I have a little time. Sounds a little convoluted, but maybe not?

Thanks for that. Wish it would work more like regular scrolling, with more than just the 5 views.

Thanks for the link.

Once you have AutoHotkey installed, you can use it for any game. Then you have to figure out how to make a script to do what you want a key or mouse to do. I did that for you with this one.

The tricky part is remembering to start the script when you play the game and close it when you are done so that the scroll wheel goes back to normal.

Any way to get it to automatically start and stop with the launch and close of the game? (Sorry, but I had to ask :))

Not that I can think of. I think it would require the game to be programmed to launch the script when the game starts. A programmer might as well program the game to do this instead.

RE: regular scrolling, the graphics in this game are not real time 3D, so not possible. What the script does is have the scroll wheel imitate pressing the 1-5 keys on your keyboard.
