Preventing map zoom/rotation with mouse.

[kevinflemming]

Pretty much the title.

I'm interested in disabling map zoom and rotation with the cursor, but still allowing zoom with the mouse wheel.

Fairly certain I've seen this as an option in one of the mods but I can't remember which one (otherwise, I'd ask there). Searching came up with no results with exactly what I'm looking for and I looked through the results.

Can this be done by tweaking an ini or do I have to use another program such as TweakMB or some such? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Easiest way would probably be to... stop zooming and rotating with the cursor.

I've never actually tried to zoom with the cursor and this is the first time I've seen somebody do it.

Thanks for your help.

Serious answers only, please.

I don't use that method to play. It's just a personal annoyance. Occasionally, I might move the cursor a little too far to one side and the camera will spin slightly, knocking it away from being directly pointing north. I wish to disable this. Nothing more, nothing less.

its annoying when playing on windowed mode + multiple monitors (example: game + browser)

I remember looking at that once, and end up just blocking mouse access near the edges (so it would only get close, but not "touch" the monitor). Not ideal, but solved my problem back them 

I don't recall any flags on module.ini for this. You can control zoom in/out, but that would also affect the scroll, so not good in your case.

maybe you were playing a mod with WSE? Not a user of that tool, so not sure if they have operations/flags to control mouse position or map rotation.

No, I've never used anything other than TweakMB and Morgh's. I did play a mod with the function disabled (it definitely had the option to disable this in a menu, most likely a custom settings menu) but it was a long time ago and I really don't fancy sifting through every mod I've ever tried/played. Far too many lol.

It would just be nice to know how to do this. Whether it be script-related, or whatever.

I'll have a look into WSE, though. Can't hurt to be curious about it. Who knows, I might end up making a mod at some point in the future and it's always nice to increase your knowledge base on creative aspects.

EDIT: Nah, doesn't have anything to do with camera functions. Looks like it's mainly for server operations. Options for server this and port that.

Options for server this and port that.

WSE is a extended version of the game engine, not official, created by modders. It includes new options and commands not present on the normal game. It is used for SP and MP, not only for servers.

Like I mentioned earlier I don't know if it has a option for the mouse, but it is a possibility.

Can't get WSE to work, so forget about that for the moment.

I'll just wait and see if anybody has a definite answer about where that function comes from first before I start messing around with something that might not be the solution. Not in the mood for faffing around today, I'd rather play than spend all night trying to do this.
