Configurable controls?

[ParaBellum]

Puleeeze...let me assign the different view levels (or the zoom/unzoom function) to a mousewheel.

Say NO to the dictatorship of Mac restrictions!

I think Mac by now has a mouse out with two buttons and a wheel as well...

You can use almost any USB mouse you want

but yes Apple now has a multi-function mouse

Mighty Mouse

I've been using a Logitech two-button wheel mouse for about a year and a half now. Could have gone to one much sooner, but just didn't get around to it. [shrug]

Bah, my Logitech mouse has 8 buttons. It R0x0rs.

Please let us use our 3-6-8 (whatever) button mouse and let use key the buttons and controls of the mouse to the interface.

Mac and PC users alike LOVE their scroll wheel mice!!

Elevation of the camera and/or camera level are a PERFECT function to assign to the scroll wheel.

This is NOT rocket science and ALMOST ALL other games let the player take advantage of the multifunction mouse and the scroll wheel.

Please....

By the way.... JUST as a note the title of this thread should be called "Scroll Wheel Mice and CMx2" IMHO!

Yes, the mouse wheel to too valuable for it just to control one thing (or no thing at all as it does now!). What I would like to see are some buttons on the control panel that with one click would configure the mouse wheel to control a specified parameter. Something like this:

HEIGHT TILT ZOOM AZIMUTH UNIT HQ FO NEXT VRP

For example if one clicked on TILT the mousewheel then would control the tilt up and tilt down which would be quite useful for fighting in mountains (or cities with multi-story buildings).

If you clicked on UNIT the mousewheel would step up and down from the current selected unit (one unit for each click of the mousewheel(like the + and - keys).

Click on HQ an the mouse wheel would step up and down from HQs.

Select FO and the mousewheel would select between FO's.

Select NEXT and the mousewheel would step not from the current selected unit but from a fixed list so that one could systematically step through all their units and even if one clicks on other units in the process the pointer to the NEXT unit would not change.

Select VRP and the mousewheel would select between user placeable visual reference points (VRP's). VRP's could be placed at various places along the map so that one can quickly change the camaera view between them. As it is in CM this is very tedious to do and thus destracts from the enjoyability of the game.

Didn't realize the scroll wheel could do all that in other games. Billiant idea.
