No Mouse

Post by levellord »

I finally got an old Windoze 98 computer and can run Ted5, there's just one small problem;

I can't seem to place or pick up tiles with my mouse! The cursour shows, clicks things in menus, its position is shown, but when I click on the map, nothing.

Any ideas?

The only mouse-related problem I've heard of with TED was when running it through DOSBox. If you're having difficulties running it raw, we may be in more trouble than we anticipated.

I think that happened to me a few times when i first started messin around with ted.

My advice- reboot and try again. If it just happened to work for me...eventually, the same will probably happen to you.

I noticed something like that happening in keen edit when i was working on one of my levels. I just kept tryin off an on for a week, and it just happened to work one day. ...Computers really shouldnt be tempermental though...

No. You're screwed.
Yes, it appears I am. Maybe TED knows what horrible mod I'd make if I ever got acess to Keen4-6 levels...

I think a Keen4-6 mod would be wonderful if made by you, LevelLord. The biggest problem I ever had with your Keen1-3 mods was that I wasn't sure what was ground, what was background, and what would kill me. With Keen4-6, the ground tiles demand to be made up of a larger number of 'tiles,' and the backgrounds are similarly larger. Unless you're truly the spawn of some dark lord, I'm guessing players will have a much easier time identifying your level components. :-)

Well as far as I can tell, I'll never be able to get round to it.

Hey, wait a second... we don't have a sticky in this forum telling people where they can get TED5! LevelLord, do you have a link to it? I'd like to download it and see if it runs at all on my computer, so maybe I can offer more help.

You're making a keen 4 mod and dont even know if ted will work on your computer??

LevelLord, maybe try switching layers on and off.
