Duke 3D High Resolution mouse aming?

[SPY]

never knew there was this great real 3d duke also, so i downloaded it and am trying to play it now. but, even after hours of trying i simply can't get the controls right.
that is, the mouse aming, i have looked and looked through the menu options, but i can't fix it.
point is, when i look up or down i emidiatly get pushed back to the center of the screen. there is no way that i can keep looking up or down. so, i can't kill anyone who is above or below me.

please please help me, i am a duke fan from the very first hour and i really would like to play this new 3d version??

You probley have screwed your .cfg file up.
Delete your Duke3d.cfg, and if your Using Eduke32 (Which I think I can gather you are from you some what weird explenation) It should have the default FPS keyboard lay out.

You have probably activated "Lookspring" feature. At least it seems so - don't remember if there is such a function in EDuke32, though. If it's there, turn it off, and the effect should disappear.

Have you set up the control's yourself?

It sounds like you used look instead of turn or aim set up on the mouse.

It's really funny how people manage to do this, even with the menu saying "DIGITAL AXES ARE NOT FOR MOUSE LOOK FOR OR AIMING UP AND DOWN".

I can confirm this problem. I tried deleting the duke3d.cfg and remapping the controls via the setup program or directly inside the .cfg a dozen different ways. As far as I know there is no lookspring option to turn off. I don't use the digital axes, but they are the only remotely effective method I've found for counteracting the lookspring-effect.

Attach copies of eduke32.log, duke3d.cfg and binds.cfg. Maybe there is a clue in there somewhere.

Ok, here they are. Hopefully you can make more sense of it than I can. I deleted the old ones and let the game generate fresh ones that I haven't yet touched. The problem remains. I also tried deleting all the archives one by one from the autoload folder to no result. Also, if it is of any consequence, I'm playing via WINE on ubuntu linux, and I was able to duplicate the mouse errors on my laptop's touchpad.

Why do you use a Windows snapshot?
I'm not sure if it has something to do with WINE but I suggest downloading the source code(eduke32_src_20080709.zip) and compiling a native Linux version.
I use Kubuntu and I didn't remember having such problems.

[tallquasimodo]

Simplicity's sake mostly, I recently migrated from the Vista that plagued this laptop since it left the factory, but Windows is still the environment in which I am most comfortable. I've never compiled a source, though I'm not opposed to the idea if all the addons I want (HRP, etc) will work.

Main projects are known to work fine in Linux but there is chance that some files can't be found because filenames in Linux are case sensitive. This easy to fix by renaming though.

As for compiling.
The compiler is included in your distro so it's already installed and configured. You just have to execute "make" command in a terminal in the directory where the "makefile" is.
You most likely will have a lot of errors due missing header files. In order to fix it you need to install missing packages with adept_manager. If I remember correctly they are named: nasm and libsdl_mixer1.2-dev.
If you still have problems you can google the error message or try to guess the name of the missing package or ask me(I'm available via instant messengers). Executing "make 2>error.txt" creates a file with error messages.

Linux specific stuff.
You may need to convert *.bat files to *.sh scripts to run mods.
By default EDuke32 it will use user profiles(all data and cfgs in ~/.eduke32 directory). If you don't like this you can add -usecwd.

Here is an example for DukePlus mod.
DukePlus.bat

eduke32.exe -jDukePlus -hDukePlus/dukeplus.def -xDukePlus/DUKEPLUS.CON

DukePlus.sh

#!/bin/bash
./eduke32 -jDukePlus -hDukePlus/dukeplus.def -xDukePlus/DUKEPLUS.CON -usecwd

sorry that i haven't been here for a while, had some personal problems. but, i have read all the answers, and i don't use Linux. i use windows xp and i really have looked all the options but i simply can't set it right.

i haven't done anything with the settings, i installed duke and tried to play it with default settings.

have reinstalled the game, but still the same. when i look up i can do only for 1 sec, then the screen turns back to the center of the screen, same with looking down. and when i look up i walk forward, and down backward. that walking i don't mind that much. its the not being able to look up or down for more then really just one second, that bothers me most. better said, you can't play like this.

i have looked in options controles if i can undo this, but there isn't.

a real shame, would love to play duky ones more, and in real 3D!!
