Mouse look problems with quake ports

[Blaike]

Hey guys, I figured this would be the best place to get help.

I just installed the original quake and put the Tenebrae mod on top. Unfortunately, the mouse look seems to be screwed up to the point of being unusable. Basically, if you try to move the mouse in any direction, it moves and centers it so that your stuck looking straight up. If you invert the mouse, you get stuck looking straight down, go figure.

I got the same result when I tried to run the Dark Places mod.

The good thing is that everything seems to work fine when I enable mouse look with WinQuake, so it has to be something to do with the two mods and how they integrate the mouse look.

I'm running Windows Vista and my mouse is a simple Dell 2-button optical mouse with mouse wheel. It works great and I have had no previous problems.

If anyone could help that would be great.

I don't know if this information helps, but I have Vista on my laptop and have used DarkPlaces, ProQuake, Qrack and JoeQuake with no mouse issues.

Admittedly, I haven't tried Tenebrae on Vista.

Are you typing +mlook in the console (recommended) or binding it to a key?

Sounds like you are having this problem when you release the key you have +mlook bound to. I'd just type +mlook in the console and have it on full-time unless you don't want that for some reason.

+mlook doesn't have any effect and neither does the bound key.

In DarkPlaces, freelook 1 turns mouse look on. freelook 0 turns mouse look off.
