MOUSE
Build Mouse Fix v1.1 (src inc)
-=CHE@TER=- , Drog Black Tooth		 6.13 The BUILD Mouse Fix
This patcher tool patches the game.exe of the Build game that it is applied to. This will allow both axis of in-game mouse sensitivity to be set (amplified) at the same time. It also corrects the update rate movement of both axis at the same time.

The archive contains the source code for C, as well as the executable file for DOS. Before you run the program , place it in the game folder of the game you want to patch!

List of supported games (ONLY original DOS versions):
-Blood
-Duke Nukem 3D
-Shadow Warrior
-Redneck Rampage

The program is universal - it looks for a specific code and replaces it with another, so it should work with any versions of these games (including demo, beta, etc.), and, possibly, other games using the MACT386.LIB library for mouse operation. The fact is that the movement of the mouse in the specified library is processed by the following code:

// original MACT386.LIB code (disassembled)

void CONTROL_GetMouseDelta (int32 * x, int32 * y) {

 MOUSE_GetDelta (x, y);

 // artificial priority for bigger delta axis

 if (abs (* x) <= abs (* y)) {

  * x / = 3;

 } else {

  * y / = 3;

 }

 * x = (* x * 32 * CONTROL_MouseSensitivity) >> 15;

 * y = * y * 96;

}

As can be seen from the example above, the priority for the mouse movement is given to the axis that had a large increment value, while the value of the other axis is artificially reduced by 3 times. Because of this code, the movement along the diagonal was very inconvenient, in fact, it was reduced to either vertical or horizontal movement, whichever is larger. This program corrects the work of this function and changes its code to the following:

// new code (after this fix)
void CONTROL_GetMouseDelta (int32 * x, int32 * y) {

 MOUSE_GetDelta (x, y);

 * x = (* x * 32 * CONTROL_MouseSensitivity) >> 15;

 * y = (* y * 96 * CONTROL_MouseSensitivity) >> 15;

}

Separately, it should be noted that in some games on the Build engine, such as Exhumed / PowerSlave, Witchaven, NAM and some others, they use their own algorithms to work with the mouse, so this program is useless for them - it just will not find anything to fix it.

Working with the program is very simple - installing the fix:
buildmfx.exe duke3d.exe

Rollback and undo all changes back:
buildmfx.exe duke3d.exe / u

Instead of "duke3d.exe" , just use the executable file name of the desired supported game.

 

 
bMouse v0.6 (src inc)
SwissCM		 56.5 Fixed mouse driver for (some) Build Engine games.
Blood, Duke3D, Shadow Warrior and Redneck Rampage all have this crappy mouse filter that allows only one axis to be updated at a time. This program removes that limitation. Please read the included readme file for information on how to install it.

- Supports Redneck Rampage, Blood, Shadow Warrior and Duke Nukem 3D
- Fixes the crappy mouse filtering
- Correctly maps all controls from default CFG file
- Independently configurable axis sensitivity

 

 
sMouse v1.0 (src inc)
Rickard Westerlund
 		 59.3 An alternative and an "update" to bMouse above. Its been 'optimized' so the mouse works better at lower / low sensitivity settings. Tested with Blood and Redneck Rampage. Start with sensitivity values at 1.0 in SETUP.EXE.

 

 
MOUSE SENSITIVITY SWITCHER v1.3B (src inc)
Virtuoso		 16.1 This is a TSR that allows you to change between the nine levels of sensitivity within the game you are playing (Duke3D/Doom etc) it calls the mouse driver directly. You can define the nine levels of sensitive as well as the keys you want to switch sensitivity with.

 

 
PS/2 mouse sampling rate changer v0.4
Juha Kujala		 111 For Windows 95/98 - Virtual Driver.
It writes a rate-change command directly to the mouse hardware.

 

 
FBMouDis
Andrew Koptelov AKA Kaa		 611B Forward  /Backward Mouse Disabler. Used in games where mouse movement moves the player. Like Witchaven1 and II, Powerslave / Exhumed and Tekwar (remember you won't be able to aim up/dwn in tekwar with the aim button/key on).

Simply load it before your game, for an example batch:
