Forward movement in middle mouse button

[pkichler]

Hello, I normally play games with the middle button press associated to forward movement. I have a game (InfinityNikki) that associate the forward movement to the keyboard W only, and don't allow movement in any mouse press. The middle mouse press is associated to restore look forward. In trying to associate midlle mouse to forward movement I do the following:
-In the middle mouse button section in X-mouse, I type "W" in the custom key
-in the How to send I choose 3 "During(press on down, release on up) option
-and select "Block original mouse input"
But at no avail. What I am doing wrong?

Im afraid to say, probably nothing. I suspect the game uses RAW/DIRECT Input, which operates below the level XMBC operates, and thus simply can not be manipulated by XMBC.

Many games work this way - and therefore XMBC is pretty useless in those games, but it is impossible to change (at the user level that XMBC runs at). The only way to change it would be at the mouse driver level, but only the device manufactures can do that (or people with lots of resources and money and registed companies, not something a hobby project like XMBC can possible extend to!)

Also many games block simulated keystrokes (MS's SendInput API) as anti-cheat. Again nothing XMBC or any software (like Autohotkey) can do about that
