As expected. For some reason the horizontal wheel is not exposed in DInput.
No idea if it doesn't exist there or if it was forgotten.

GZDoom: 0
Raze: 2 (no idea why, since default is 0 and I don't remember ever changing that)

I changed it to 0 and it now works, thanks. I guess this can be closed.

what's your settings for 'in_mouse' in both games?

GZDoom 4.5 works fine for me on Windows, as have all previous versions of GZDoom and ZDoom (and Zandronum and Skulltag) since 2007.

I'll test that out tomorrow, just jumped into bed sorry. I didn't realise that at the time but appreciate the insight ☺️

invprev and invnext are not +/-
Binding mouse wheels to button actions is a known problem and simply cannot work because the wheel has no "held down" state.

I've chased it all the way to `FButtonStatus::PressKey()` and it gets there.

If I do something like "bind MWheelLeft stat", I get stat output in the console, just seems to be +/- commands. +crouch does not work, for instance. Has to be something in `C_DoCommand()`.

Does it even get there for left and right wheel actions?

Yeah, but in `FMouse::WheelMoved()` irrespective of what axis is passed to that `WheelMouse[]` array, the game will only set `ev.data` to `KEY_MWHEELDOWN` or `KEY_MWHEELUP`, never keyfefs for `KEY_MWHEELRIGHT` or `KEY_MWHEELLEFT`.

Using raw input on my end (in_mouse 0).

Ignore all of the above... No idea why its not working in either port for me, then.

Support in Windows is there, but a bit stupid, see i_mouse.cpp, line 345.
But from the looks of it the second wheel axis is only supported in RawInput and GUI mode, not DInput.

Code: Select all

What version of GZDoom are you on? I can't make it work in GZDoom 4.5.0. Binds fine in both games but performs no action. And what OS are you on? I can't see any supporting code in any other platform besides SDL.

Apparently my M720 Triathlon has a tilt wheel so I can check this out.

If it doesn't even work in the menu the keys get eaten long before that. I do not have a device that supports them so I cannot test.

I use mwheelleft/mwheelright to change inventory selection. It works fine in GZDoom and has always worked fine for as long as I remember.
