Quake2 has awfully dodgy mouse input

[johndrinkwater]

Like wading through treacle..

In all seriousness, it feels like a lot of mouse moved events are being trashed. A slight nudge of the mouse, and you can be looking up, or over your shoulder, etc.. whereas at other times, it is smooth and controlled.

How can this be tested ?

Sounds like the developers want free Quake2 discs :)

erm, maybe there are some SDL test apps I can find.. otherwise, running Quake2 would be the other bet.

Quake II isn't SDL, so that might not be the easiest thing to test with ;)

The WAD files for the demo should be extractable from ​http://www.fileplanet.com/6584/0/fileinfo/Quake-II-Demo-v3.14 , and the R5 binaries are available on BeBits (​http://bebits.com/app/1712).

Mouse input also lags when moving around in the 3dMix mixer interface.

Could this be related?

I commented out the code in BView::GetMouse() that looks for messages in the Looper's message queue, so it instead always gets mouse data from the app_server. This fixed the mouse lag in 3dMix.

this code: /*

if (checkMessageQueue) {

Window()->UpdateIfNeeded();

<cut>

}

*/

Maybe someone with Q2 on haiku could test this and see what happens.

No, sorry i was wrong. This is a different issue and should be in a new bug.

BTW, it seems the Q2 input issues also affects keyboard.

R5 binaries seem unavailable on Bebits. Could someone add another download link ? Thanks.
