Mouse Movement Limit in RPCEmu

[DanKorell]

I don't know if this is a bug with Doom or with RPCEmu, though I have read that Doom's implementation of the mouse is not good, setting boundary limits outside of the desktop and not resetting them afterwards.

Anyway, the issue I'm getting, and this also happens with Doom+, is that when I move the mouse left and right to turn, it only turns so much and then stops. The amount I can turn seems to be dependent on the screen resolution. E.g. at 640x480 I get about 180 degrees of motion, at 800x600 it is roughly 270 degrees, and at 1024x768 it is a little over 360 degrees. So basically, you cannot turn around fully more than once and this impacts on freedom of movement, especially when you are in maze-like corridors and such.

I am using RPCEmu (0.9.3), so I don't know if this makes any difference.

The mouse bounding box is set to infinite at startup (a_keyboard.c lines 608-620). You are correct that it does not get reset afterwards as the wimp appears to do it anyway. On a native system all works as expected, can turn indefinately. I would guess that it's an issue with RPCEmu limiting the mouse to it's known screen size.
