Quake 2 mouse locking? - stormy - 06-19-2019

Hi all,

With Quake 2 in Irix the mouse doesn't seem to lock to the window input, so it's not really playable. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Thanks

I have the same issue, from the sgi quake 2 documentation explain about this issue says:


To have Quake II grab the mouse (not let it out of the window) set the
_windowed_mouse variable. This seems to be needed for fullscreen mode to work
correctly (esp. when using freelook).

I still have to try it no sure how to set variables in quake i suppose should be done from the console each time the game starts.

This is the command to lock the mouse in Quake 2: "./quake2 +set _windowed_mouse 1"

I've included it in the script file which I use to launch the game from my icon catalog.

I got this information from "stormy" on Discord.
