Build Mouse DOS Patch Fix (if needed)

[Corvin]

Here is -=CHE@TER=- web site, linking his patch for a couple of build games, including shadow warrior.
It patches it with a newer mouse routine, I think the same one as what Ken Silverman or JonoF made at a later time.

-Patch the sw.exe (in dosbox) (read site and readme)
-Set the sensitivity in setup.exe where you want.
-Then you use the in game Mouse Sensitivity and it amps the X, and Y.

This is sorta like that helpful Bmouse external driver, but its much better.
Use it only if you find the Y axis is it? problematic.

[Robman]

Yeah the Y axis in SW has always been something to get used to.

[Ninjakitty]

That was my main problem with playing the Dos version (the other main problem being that I can't get it to run above 20 fps unless I run it in a tiny window)

[Corvin]

Yeah the game really needs more than 64 (or was the limit 63) megs same with Blood. I think some custom dosbox exes allow for more memory. I don't recall.

Hopefully you read my document on recommendations for dosbox use with BUILD Based Games. I used those settings for my use and things worked well most of the time.


But yeah, His Mouse patch is neato! -=CHE@TER=- is very good at correlating between source code and hex I assume.

[Corvin]

Anyone use this on dos sw?

How was the mouse for you?
