"+cammousemove"

[MS:C community]

Is "+cammousemove" an MS:C-specific thing?
I noticed it behaves rather odd (as in: hardly at all) in Half-Life and Sven Co-op's third person modes.

It's core Half-Life, and engine side to boot, I believe. If your mouse input type settings are different between the games, that may have an effect.

I'm not aware of my mouse settings being any different between Half-Life, MS:C and Sven Co-op. Thanks for the reply though!

There does seem to be a *slight* difference between the standard SDK and MSC:

Both:

	gEngfuncs.pfnAddCommand( "+cammousemove",CAM_StartMouseMove);

Standard 2005:

void CAM_StartMouseMove(void)
{
	float flSensitivity;
		
	//only move the cam with mouse if we are in third person.
	if (cam_thirdperson)
	{
		//set appropriate flags and initialize the old mouse position
		//variables for mouse camera movement
		if (!cam_mousemove)
		{
			cam_mousemove=1;
			iMouseInUse=1;
			GetCursorPos (&cam_mouse);

			if ( ( flSensitivity = gHUD.GetSensitivity() ) != 0 )
			{
				cam_old_mouse_x=cam_mouse.x*flSensitivity;
				cam_old_mouse_y=cam_mouse.y*flSensitivity;
			}
			else
			{
				cam_old_mouse_x=cam_mouse.x;
				cam_old_mouse_y=cam_mouse.y;
			}
		}
	}
	//we are not in 3rd person view..therefore do not allow camera movement
	else
	{   
		cam_mousemove=0;
		iMouseInUse=0;
	}
}

MSC:

void CAM_StartMouseMove(void)
{
		
	//only move the cam with mouse if we are in third person.
	if (MSCLGlobals::CamThirdPerson)
	{
		//set appropriate flags and initialize the old mouse position
		//variables for mouse camera movement
		if (!cam_mousemove)
		{
			cam_mousemove=1;
			iMouseInUse=1;
			GetCursorPos (&cam_mouse);

			float flSensitivity;
			if ( ( flSensitivity = gHUD.GetSensitivity() ) != 0 )
			{
				cam_old_mouse_x=cam_mouse.x*flSensitivity;
				cam_old_mouse_y=cam_mouse.y*flSensitivity;
			}
			else
			{
				cam_old_mouse_x=cam_mouse.x;
				cam_old_mouse_y=cam_mouse.y;
			}
		}
	}
	//we are not in 3rd person view..therefore do not allow camera movement
	else
	{   
		cam_mousemove=0;
		iMouseInUse=0;
	}
}

But it just seems to be in the way MSC determines if third person mode is active.

I suppose if the original SDK isn't determining third person mode correctly, it *might* explain the behavior, but if it's doing anything at all, seems it'd most likely be different input settings and/or launch flags. I think I, for instance, have raw input enabled on Half-Life but not MSC, due to some fandangling during the February 2013 fiasco.
