Mouse Support?

[ozzie087]

I would really like to play DOOM with the mouse instead of the arrow keys, like I used to do on old computers. Is there a way to do this?

Read through some of the documentation first, but this source port preserves all of the vanilla game and gameplay while bringing it up to modern standards, like 21st century video and audio support...among many, many other things. Oh yeah. And mouse support.

Also, there are a lot of Doom source ports out there, so read up on all of them and decide which is best for you. zDoom was my choice because it didn't alter any of the graphics or gameplay.

Awesome, thanks for your quick help!

There should be an executable called 'ultimate + mouse.bat' in your Steam\steamapps\common\Ultimate Doom directory. Run that, and it should set everything up for you.

Is this in DOOM II too?

Yes, but for some reason I didnt have to run it with Doom II. Probably Doom I and II share the same executable. But yes, that thing is there.

No problem! Now go send some demons back to hell! (with mouse support of course)

Isn't Mouse support a little bit unfair?
I mean, play Doom 1 E1M1 without mouse support on nightmare.
With mouse support, it will be a little bit easier.

I've tryed this. For some reason, even with the sensitivity turned all the way up, it feels like it is turned all the way down. Anyone know a fix for this, or is it intended?

How could anything be fair, or unfair in a single player game? Isn't it all about enjoying the game?

I don't know if anyone still watches this thread.... My mother just got DOOM from Steam for herself and would really like mouse control from the old days (mouse goes forward/back = character moves forward/back, move mouse left/right = character turns left/right)

As of right now, she can't use her mouse even with mouse sensitivity all the way up. She has Windows Vista if that makes a difference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

EDIT****
Never mind. I figured it out. Now the demon killing can commence!
