mac osx: double cursor/mouse sensitivity

[_Gunnar]

Great job on fixing the movement bug on macs with java 8!

It's perfectly playable now! Woot. <3

Well, the double cursors and stuff at least seems like a different bug, so with your verification I'll consider this one solved. Thanks for verifying it!

However there is a weird problem where the new client doesn't seem to inherit the right mouse sensitivity settings. You can get rid of the double cursor by clicking on the title bar of the client it seems, but the sensitivity problem remains, and makes controlling your character very sluggish. In addition the haven cursor "lags" behind the actual position of the mouse cursor before catching up a fraction of a second later, I'm wondering if it is something to do with mouse acceleration and apples terrible mouse drivers?

I had a similar lagging cursor issue on Linux too.
Apparently AWT implementation supports only 2 colors for hardware cursors and as the result the client falls back to software rendering.
Could be fixed by forcing hardware cursor in the client. It will produce ugly bi-color in game cursors but at least should move normally.
Perhaps same underlying reason on Mac OS X as well?

Yeah, software rendering of the mouse cursor is a pain; it naturally does make the mouse lag after the "real" cursor, since the software rendered cursor can only react to the real cursor already having been moved. It's also such bullshit that AWT can only present two-color cursors on X11, since X11 has supported true-color cursors since forever by now, but it is what it is. That said, though, the client does currently add a bit of unnecessary input-lag as well due to it buffering a frame or two too many, which I aim to remedy.

I don't know what's up with OSX, though. I mean, even if the ability to display custom cursors is limited, that doesn't explain why it draws the default cursor even though the client has told it not to.

Hi romovs, is this an option in your client somewhere that I'm missing?

Hi romovs, is this an option in your client somewhere that I'm missing?

Command line switch '-c'

Code: Select all

java -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -jar hafen.jar -c -U http://game.havenandhearth.com/hres/ game.havenandhearth.com

Thanks man, will try it
Edit: works perfectly, also now don't have the double cursor. There is another issue in the the FPS using your java 8 client is much lower than the java 6 one - I get 60 in a house with java 6 version but only 30 with the java 8 one. Will also write this in your thread.
