Curiosity about some tags

Post by nibsrs »

I am using 2.19 Xmouse, and right now I am using a config I got from someone else.
It's working fine but I have no idea what does some tags means, can you guys help me out?

{LMB}{MACRO}{MWDN}{TILTR}{DETTS}{NITROX8}

The lmb tag is the only thing I know.
Thanks guys

{MWDN} is mouse wheel down
{TILTR} is tilt right (mouse wheel again)

I have no idea what {DETTS} {MACRO} or {NITROX8} is - and I wrote the software - they ware NOT tags XMBC will recognize!

So with that sequence, I'd image XMBC will just do LEFT BUTTON, SCROLL MOUSE DOWN, SCROLL MOUSE RIGHT

lol This is weird.
But for better clicks, I wanted to use only {LMB} with option 6. The problem is I get too much lag when I try to use it in some games, anyway I can use {LMB} and get rid of this lag?

Lag in what sense? the actual clicks being sent or something else?
Try adjusting the auto repeat delay - don't use ZERO (0) as that tells XMBC to use the windows default delay between repeated keys which is quite large (especially for the first repeat - like holding a key on your keyboard).

If that makes no difference, there are several things to try... Firstly the LMB may be executing TOO quick for the game to recognize so although it seems weird, sometimes a bigger delay is better - play with the repeat speed and you could also try adding a delay in the sequence itself eg {WAITMS:50} for a 50ms delay.

There is a "default" delay applied to all simkey keys - that's configurable in the global settings advanced settings tab (delay between simulated keystrokes) check that's not too large (probably is OK at between 1 and 5 ms.

Thirdly, what spec is your machine - you didn't fill in the post template (grrrr next time read the posting rules and fill out the predefined template - please!!) so I don't know. But although XMBC is pretty light weight, if your CPU us rather busy servicing the game, XMBC may not get a look in in time (the windows scheduler can be a bu**er). Make sure you run XMBC in realtime process priority in the advanced settings "CPU Priority".

On top of that, having tags that are not valid in the sequence could be causing no end of confusion so I'm not sure how XMBC would handle that - so yeh, best remove those!

First I am really sorry!! My first intention with this post was only to clarify the tags, but next time I'll for sure fill the template I promise.

The lag I mean is exactly the first you mentioned "the LMB may be executing TOO quick for the game to recognize", and I tried different delays, but never higher than 20ms. I'll test it out.

Also, about my cpu is a FX8300, it's a weak cpu but ok for the game and xm.
Thank you for the answer anyway!
