I have Logitech G5 laser mouse. I'm able to set weapons for the scroll wheel, mouse 1, mouse 2 and mouse 3 buttons but I have 2 extra buttons that I cannot set items/commands on. The game will either think its mouse 3 again or it just won't recognize anything. I'm using OA 081 (and loving it). I have the mouse drivers installed but that doesnt seem to do anything. Any idea why this happens? Or is this known issue?

Thanks...TheHitman

Try binding the mouse buttons to keys in the mouse software.
My logitech mx518 is set up like so:
left and right click is normal
Wheel click is BACKSPACE
thumb buttons are ESC and ENTER
button above wheel is F8
button below wheel is /
button below that is ctrl + w
All but the last one work in-game.

With the latest version of the game it should work fine, does for me (though apparently not for you) - extra mouse button support is something that was added to ioquake3 a while ago though.

For me mouse1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 work fine, but it will not let me set the other buttons in the controls menu, it doesn't respond to those buttons for some reason.

In the software for my mouse (Razer Diamondback 3G), I can set it to a key instead of mouse button, but it does nothing. I can tell it to be a macro, which works, but lags. Maybe I should play around with it more.

for me it only allows the usual 3, i just have them act as keyboard keys instead to use them

what version of the game (and of your operating system) are you running?

with 0.8.1 on mac os x mouse4 binds fine.

i use 0.8.1 legacy client on windows.  the mouse movement is too choppy and lossy on other clients so there is no choice really.

mmmh...
on the legacy q3 i had similar problems unbindable keys) too...

I have g5 logitech and it works fine.

Just like was said by sittingduck, set the valeus to the keys u want to use in the mouse software.
I use only numbers  so fpr example pushing mousewheel to left is 1, push right is 2 sensitivy up is 3 sens down is 4 etc.
I use the original mouse-software.
No problems here with setting keys

Hope u fox your problem soon

Good ideas!! I'll try them out.

Wow...it worked like a charm, using the key assignments! Thanks a lot :-)

hi guys how are ya? its been awhile, hope u r all still playing. im using linux these days and started playing OA again. unfortunately there are no mouse drivers for logitech g5 on linux but thats ok. The main problem that i have encountered is that i cannot press mouse1 and mouse2 at the same time. when pressed simultaniously nothing happens at all, making it very frustrating as i cannot rocket jump or do any other cool moves =D any ideas why this could be? any help would be greatly appreciated,

thx

Did you try with another mouse? A clean OA config?

Are you sure that nothings happens? I believe it counts as a middle mouse button click.

It is quite common to have "Emulate 3 button mouse" enabled on Linux because the 3th mouse button is so important. It is usually defined in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
