Mouse stopped working in Blue Shift & Opposing Force (turn left/right).

[dimgel]

After recent updates of Opposing Force (#844 fix) & HL itself, mouse turn left/right stopped working in Blue Shift & Opposing Force (twitching but not really turning). Still it works in menus, and HL itself is ok.

Gentoo / amd64.

Possibly related with #896, mouse input regressed.

[kwahoo2]

I noticed that It's turning when RAW input is enabled. But mouse buttons do not work.
Ubuntu 12.10/64-bit.

[dimgel]

Raw input is enabled by default; I tried to change it of course (and other options too) without effect.

[alfred-valve]

Are you running fullscreen or windowed? Do you have multiple desktops?

[dimgel]

KDE 4.10.1 (recently upgraded from 4.9, along with udev 200, maybe it's the reason, too?), fullscreen, 2 monitors in clone mode (notebook + large monitor cloning it, so 1 physical desktop), 4 virtual desktops (didn't switch them though).

BTW mouse buttons work.

[roman-bronis]

To #896 (which was closed and moved here):
Mouse buttons are neither working in windowed nor full-screen mode. And MOUSE 2 is identified as MOUSE 1 in keyboard settings.

Can anyone that has this issue on linux please run:
pmap pidof hl_linux | grep libsdl

and paste the output. Our suspect here is an out of date libsdl on your system. Posting the md5sum of the libsdl that is loaded would also be useful.

[dimgel]

pmap 4153 | grep libsdl
00000000f5ae0000 832K r-x-- /home/me/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Half-Life/libsdl2-2.0.so.0
00000000f5bb0000 36K rw--- /home/me/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Half-Life/libsdl2-2.0.so.0

I repeat just in case: HL1 itself works pretty fine. The problem is only in BS & OP. For HL1 the pmap output is the same.

[roman-bronis]

pmap:
00000000f5db0000 820K r-x-- ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/libsdl2-2.0.so.0
00000000f5e7d000 36K rw--- ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/libsdl2-2.0.so.0

md5sum:

[dimgel]

md5sum /home/me/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Half-Life/libsdl2-2.0.so.0

[alfred-valve]

@dimgel , what do the other HL1 games do? I don't understand how HL1 can work and the others don't, as they all use the same hw.so that has the mouse handling code :)

[dimgel]

That's weird for me too. In other games, a viewport turns a degree or two and no more, no matter for how far I move the mouse. Looks like mouse pointer is limited by some very small invisible rectangle.

[dimgel]

Reinstalling BS fixed the issue. Now reinstalling OF...

[alfred-valve]

@roman-bronis , I see the issue you have, that libsdl is stale, I'll find a fix.

[dimgel]

OF ok too. So something was wrong with updates, not with hl itself.

[roman-bronis]

The thing is they are using different libsdl:
HL ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Half-Life/libsdl2-2.0.so.0 md5:d5b640e83da85141c4a94e8e9f05f451
HL:OF ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/libsdl2-2.0.so.0 md5:66989fb2d9af4f6cd48424054be90d5a

I'm going to try reinstall.

[alfred-valve]

A reinstall won't help, the issue is the stale file in the Steam folder. You could delete ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/libsdl2-2.0.so.0 as a workaround for now, I am coming up with the correct (no user intervention required) solution now.

[roman-bronis]

As you said reinstall didn't help.
However copying libsdl2-2.0.so.0 from HL folder to ubuntu12_32 folder helped...

[alfred-valve]

If you restart steam, this should be fixed now, the libsdl should be loading from the Half-Life folder and not the steam one.

[roman-bronis]

Seams to be fixed. Thanks.

[Matthaiks]

That issue affects mods (at least Darkstar and Uplink) on Windows. It is impossible to fully turn around with a mouse. Moreover, that limited turning left/right is present when the mouse look is disabled. Raw input doesn't help.

[alfred-valve]

@Matthaiks , the issue on windows with mods is unrelated and was fixed in the last public release of Half-Life.

[Matthaiks]

@alfred-valve Which version is it? Validated Exe build: 10:15:42 Apr 3 2013 (6004) is unfixed (at least on my system).

[alfred-valve]

That should be the correct one, can you post links to those mods please.
