Swapping left and right mouse click

Post by MagooChris »

For the Broken Sword games, its better to use right click to explore the screen because you get descriptions of the items instead of interacting with them...

any of this making sense?

Don't know about the PPC port, but the Symbian UIQ (which is also a touch-screen-driven OS) has a "left-button/right-button" switch in the SDL-provided buttons in the bottom right corner. THe one with two boxes, one white and one black. The white one defaults to the left position, which means a stylus tap will provide a left click at the tap location. Tap the boxes to alternate between left and right click mode...

But that's on Symbian. But ScummVM relies on SDL everywhere, don't it? So I assume there should be an equivalent for you in there somewhere.

What about binding and using the 'Free Look' action? ;)
