Like, I have two mouses, ones plugged into the mouse plugger-into thingi in the pc, and the others plugged int oa USB port, and they are both on, but how can I get the 2nd one to register as the second player mouse in the game?
Anyone know? |

no, the 2 h/w mouses now control 1, that was before controlled by 1 only. it's no difference, just 2 controllers. but hey, you could play pushover with friends=S

In Settlers 2, you were supposed to buy a splitter for 2 mouses or buy the special dual mouse...
Not sure if you could duplicate it with two separate mouses though. However, I do remember that me and my brother used to play "co-op" games against the computer, and we didn't have two mouses. It's probably possible to play with the keyboard in some way. |

Guys I got one mouse in PS2 and one in COM (still got an older pc ;] ) and it works nicely for the multiplayer. If u have combo of PS2 and USB it should work too but is untested...

the "second" mouse is ACTUALLY the attached joystick. Which is utilized AS a mouse, But I'm not quite sure about this.... (haven't really tried it) Just thinking out load here. If it doesn't works (or makes sense), then DON'T bite my head off....

you don't suppose a Gravis Eliminator Game Pad Pro would work do you? Also, do you need to run it through DOSBox to make multyplayer work?
Cause I am just running s2 gold normally, without DOSBox (don't ask me how I did it, because I don't know how I did it..) |

I got
Win98SE Compaq Armada E500 (notebook) P III 600 Mhz Ati RAGE mobility one mouse in PS2(or touchpad, it's emulated on same port) and one in COM And I run Settlers 2 without dosbox or anything and nicely with its MIDI music (didn't manage to make my pc play fx sounds) and, the COM mouse i use for multiplayer somehow doesn't work in Windows, even if I set up all manualy. I think game checks itself All possible ports for mouses and uses own mouse drivers, but this is just a speculation. P.S. If I remember well, then Settlers 1 second player could move cursor by certain keys on keyboard, of which I don't remember ANY. Don't know on S2 for I haven't tested. |
