Mouse and Keyboard

[Greymantle]

How does this game work with mouse and keyboard? Is this a bad console port for pc controls?

I'm playing it with a mouse and keyboard and so far I'm really loving it. It's much better with a controller but it's still very enjoyable without one.

I would love o get rid of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tips saying i should press some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ xbox buttons when i dont even have a pad connected.

i really love the control mechanism... i dont have a game pad, like my mouse and kb and works bloody fine for me

It's definetly not a bad console port. I normally play with a controller plugged in but when I can't, the mouse and keyboard controls work splendid. Everything feels fluid.

On the program launcher settings for Mark Of The Ninja, use -nocontroller

I found a fix thanks to Obelisk in another thread.

If you want to disable controller detection (which will force the game to show keyboard/mouse controls), you can launch the game with -nocontroller option.

Launch options:
1) Go to your Steam Library
2) Right click on "Mark of the Ninja"
3) Select "Properties"
4) Press the "SET LAUNCH OPTIONS..." button
5) Type in "-nocontroller" without the quotes
6) Click "OK"
7) Launch Mark of the Ninja

I find it great either way, but i'm more used to playing games with a keyboard and mouse. However, it is nice to sit back and play with a controller, as this game looks great in Big Picture.

Servicable but clunky in most parts, borderline unplayable in others (for a lefty anyway).

am I the only one having assassinating trouble with mouse+KB? when it shows something something like (arrow left, left mouse) do they want the left arrow or move left? also is that at the same time you click the mouse or before it?

Click/hold, and drag in the direction of the arrow.

The game actually flows really well, but I find myself doing the wrong things because they couldn't even change the indicators to keys from buttons

The in-game indicators are determined based on whether or not a controller is detected as being connected to your computer. Unfortunately... the detection isn't that reliable, and it also doesn't cover the case where you have a controller or joystick connected, but want to play with the keyboard and mouse.

There are two possible work-arounds:

1) disconnect any USB devices that either are, or might mistakenly be detected as controllers (eg. razer nostromo keyboards, joysticks, etc..)

2) use the -nocontroller command line option...

Go to your Steam Library
Right click on "Mark of the Ninja"
Select "Properties"
Select "SET LAUNCH OPTIONS..."
Type in "-nocontroller" without the quotes
Click "OK"
Launch Mark of the Ninja

I'm curious... Are you able to play with simply the mouse, or is the keyboard required? In other words, if I choose to, would I be able to use only use my mouse? If I do have to use the keyboard, could you give me a quick description of what the keyboard is used for? Basically... I'm unable to use a keyboard, I only use my mouse along with Dragon NaturallySpeaking for typing. I was playing "don't starve" and I was very impressed with the playability with only the mouse.

Hey budmedia,

I've uploaded a screenshot of the keybindings screen for Ninja: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=132156988

As you can see there are quite a few actions which require either a key to be press or held, movement specifically, often at the same time (eg. move + run, focus + use item).

Assuming your mouse has a large number of extra buttons that can be mapped to key presses with 3rd party software it "might" be possible, but there is no direct support for this in the game itself.

Perfect, that was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you :-). Doesn't look like I'll be able to play that very well, But it does look like a cool game nonetheless :-).
