[Haldurson]

No, you can't just play with a mouse.

you can play with just a keyboard

just curious, can only use xpadder or mouse due to condition

While I have thankfully no physical limitations (hope yours improves!), I would like to at least move with the mouse, too. Or bind movement commands/etc to a gamepad/controller. Just a little more comfortable when playing on my laptop.

Mecron, is your all-seeing eye seeing this?

is there an option to target with mouse? It's a little bit annoying to move my righthand from the mouse to the arrow keys everytime i like to target by myself....would be simple: like holding shift tranforms the mousepointer into targetpointer or something like that

[Haldurson]

The only thing I believe you can use the mouse for is the UI itself (inventory, menus, etc.). I did check the options to see if there was an optional mouse control setting, but I did not see one.

A lot of game designers can be very accomadating to people with disabilities if you let them know what your issues are. Mouse control seems like a reasonable enough request. Even if they decide that it's a good idea, though, unless they already thought of it and have started working on mouse controls, odds are that it's not something that will happen quickly.

Somebody else has reported that The Pit works just fine with xpadder. :)

Just bought Xpadder for €7 or so -- going through the set up, and by the looks of it, this gives me exactly the functionality I had hoped for. Thanks for mentioning this! :)

Haldurson is right - The Pit is primarily a keyboard-controlled game (WASD to move, Cursors to target, various keys for Use / Fire / Inventory / Character Sheet, etc); the mouse seems to only be used occasionally, to drag items around the interface, etc.

Obviously all of the keyboard controls could be transposed to a joypad with something like Xpadder, if preferred. N.B. You can still download older freeware versions of Xpadder (I use V5.3) which work perfectly well.

Thanks for all replies! Gorith, I use on screen keyboard ;). How many buttons would need to be assigned using xpadder please? I've actually paid for xpadder...great program. I love roguelikes, hopefully they wil add more mouse support or I can figure out usi ng xpadder ;)!

I have assigned everything except ESC, F1 and X (skip turn). If it helps, here[dl.dropbox.com] is my Xpadder profile for The Pit.

Left stick = move the character
Right stick = target enemies
Right trigger = fire
Right shoulder = reload
Left trigger = switch weapon
Left shoulder = shows the map
Click left stick = works like control, hold down while selecting targets
Right right stick = zoom
D pad = shortcuts 1, 2, 3, 4
A = interact (space)
X = grab/get an item
Y = open inventory
B = open character screen
Start = open Stotsdex

Back will close the game (seems to be a Windows function?), regardless of what it is bound to.

thank you very very much!
