Configuration file

Filename mouse_script.cfg, placed into .../data/config/ directory

Sensitivity:         350
Sensitivity Curve:   1.5
Control Mode:        1
Deadzone:            2
Mouse Invert:        0
Boundary Limit:      20
Indicator Color:     255, 255, 0, 64

• Sensitivity is basically defines the amount of pixels from the center of the screen that the script will read (limited from 100 to 600)
• Sensitivity Curve is exponent for the value
• Control Mode is just option to toggle the - possible, not yet implemented - alternate control modes on
• Deadzone defines the deadzone for the control input
• Mouse Invert allows mouse controls to be inverted
• Boundary Limit defines the limit for the cursor from the edge of the screen.
• Indicator Color defines the used draw color of the mouse flight indicator

Recommendations... (sensitivity + deadzone + boundary limit) * 2 should be greater than the smaller dimension of the screen.

Additional files

Script will accept mouse_ret_2.dds as the mouse indicator but should the effect be missing the script should revert to simple 2d draw icon (icon is automatically centered).
