Mouse Mapping

[Ventry]

Simple question.

Can you map mouse buttons to direction controls in the full game? (i.e. forward, back, left & right)

A simple "yes" or "no" will suffice.

Cheers.

I assume yes.

I haven't tried them as direction keys, but the game detects my MX518 side-buttons.

However, on-screen it will display a blank instead of the key for the side buttons.

EG "Press to enter cover", instead of "Press mouse button 4 to enter cover.

Well that doesn't really answer my question. Perhaps you could try to set the right mouse button as forward and let me know if you were successful?
This is assuming you have the full game.

You can pretty much map any key for the game using application by following the guide below.

Step 1:
-Create a text file and name it "Mafia 2.ahk".


Step 2:
-Paste this code in this text and save the file.

#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
#InstallMouseHook
#InstallKeybdHook

#IfWinActive ahk_class Mafia II
RButton::Up
MButton:own


Step 3:
-Install AutoHotKey application (http://www.autohotkey.com/download/) and double click this script file you just created before you play.

RMB has been mapped to forward and MMB has been mapped to back in Mafia 2.
Do not forget to change the controls in the game.

You can read the AutoHotKey Quick Start Tutorial (http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Tutorial.htm) to work out all the possibilities.

I'll let you in on a trade secret, using the word please or thanks gets better results.
