mouse taking off all directions

whilst in hammer these days, ill be moving about in 3d camera space, and the SOB will just take off to the edges of the "earth"....to the point where ill occasionaly have to shut down hammer and restart just to find it again.....anyone else have this occur?...might very well be a hardware problem, ie, faulty mouse or something, but hammer is the only prog it happens in....and then only when in camera space, and moving about....

Doc Brass.... :dodgy:

ps....if this post belongs somewhere else, feel free to thwack at yer leisure...

look in your 3d view of the config, set them really low.. tis all i can suggest..

i have heard recently tho that winXP has an accelerated mouse option, maybe its associated????

hmmmm/////im on win ME....**ducks flying debris...ill have to dig into that one....thanx "O"

Happens to me all the time; the camera view just keeps moving forward or backward or whatever? The solution is usually to select an object and pop in and out of vertex manipulation mode - it seems to 'reset' the 3d view for me and the camera will stop moving.

well ill be damned....CJ, yer movin' up on my christmas list fast... it worked....and ive been rackin my brain trying to figure it, or CONfigure it as the case may be....just out of curiosity....must be a bug then eh?...thanx man..... :wink:

Happens to me too, although to fix it i dont have to do anything as elaborate as CJ. I just move the mouse outside of the 3D window normally and the camera stops moving.

Happens to me to so I just scroll the mouse wheel forward and back a few times.

It also deoes it to me when I'm doing anything like looking on the net or trying to make a web page. My cursor will also move across my screen whenever it feels like it even when the mouse is not touching anything that could slide and move it.

you guys should do some sort of a comparison, i knew reno had this issue (but didn't actually recal it till i read his post), but it was way back in V3.. it would be interesting to find out if its related to something in your PC's, cause i have never had this happen, BUT it could also be due to a step i don't use in mapping often either, such as vertex-manip..

anyways, i am glad you solved it..

It happens to me when my mousewheel screws up (sometimes it auto scrolls super fast).

Happens to me too. Maybe it'll get fixed in a late version of Hammer.

well, it doesnt just "crawl" along uncontrollably, i mean it f**kin shoots across the space....to the edge of the mapping space, and is done before i can do anything about it usually.....sound familiar still?

Yeah. The camera will keep moving. Forever. No matter where your mouse is. Or at least that's what happens with me.

Mine moves realtively slowly, its like some "feature" that lets you move around without having to press a button or something. If you hold the duwn cursor it normally makes the movement stop, but once you let go it starts moving again, like an auto-accelerator or something. Doesn't seem to be related to using vertex manipulation or anything, it just happens occasionally when im moving around the 3D view. But as I said, I'm pretty sure it stops if i move the mouse cursor into a 2D view.

seems like theres variations on the main problem....hmm....i wonder if its a combination of bugs/ hardware/ OS type sheit....

////me digs out manuals and thinking cap to cover pointy head... :biggrin:
