Mouse click stops working on Main Menu
Still trying to make sure the cause isn't on my end somehow. However, when I arrive at the main menu I am unable to click on anything. Music still plays and mouse cursor moves. It would seem everything seems to be running correctly, with the exception of mouse click inputs. I've tried re-validating the game, restarting steam, and my computer numerous times. The only success I've had was to roll back the version to a previous one and then back again. That seemed to fix it for a day or so. Could very well have been entirely unrelated though, because it isn't working now.

I've heard of this happening, but I have no idea why

Some questions:
- Do you have any gamepads plugged in (eg, Steam Controller, Xbox controller)? Try unplugging them, rebooting steam and see if that works
- Try alt-tabbing out and in of the game, and then clicking. This could be Windows/SDL failing to assign the mouse to the window/give your window focus (though I have no idea why that would happen either)
- Do you have a "fancy" mouse, or is it just 2 buttons with a scrollwheel? If you do, what is the make/model of it?

Cheers,
Liam

@SnapperTheTwig... First of all, thanks for responding and making this game. It's got a lot of potential. My mouse is a Logitech G502, it's fancier, but not that high end. I think option #1 might be our culprit. It's working now, though I've no idea why and option 1 best explains why it would be working now. I often plug my phone into my computer and I didn't think to reset it after unplugging it. Could well be the issue. I'll keep an eye on it.

P.S. I'd love to add airplanes to this game. Your largest map seems big enough to enjoy them if they are made right. Is that something that could be added as a mod? Also, is it possible to mod in a curvier player model?

Thanks for everything,
Saint Anthony

@SnapperTheTwig, I think I've figured something out. I'm not sure why, but I HAVE to have my xbox one controller plugged in for mouse inputs to work. If I unplug my controller, which I was doing because I don't use it in game, the mouse will cease to work at the main menu. I've repeatedly tested it now. Maybe you'll have some idea as to what would cause that. I'm clueless.

P.S. Concerning my previous questions, I asked because I'd like to become more active with the modding community, but I don't know much about LUA yet. So far just done some skin and flag creation with photoshop.

If you're looking to get into modding, getting on the discord server is probably a really good idea, as then I can give help/feedback in real-time.

There's also the modding guide on the wiki. Also if you have mods installed (such as Nikolai's flag mod), you can view the mod's files from the "Installed mods" screen from the main menu by clicking "open folder" to see how they do it.

As for the controller issue: I've just tried all four variants of starting the game with the controller plugged in, unplugged, hotplugging it in and hotunplugging it and am failing to replicate the issue :/. I tested with a Madcatz Xbox 360 controller from 2007, maybe the modern controllers have some "smarts" in them that are causing some grief

I'll definitely hop on your Discord channel at some point. As for the mouse issue, I can say I'm using an Xbox One (newer) controller made specifically by Microsoft. Probably using default windows 8.1 drivers, as I believe they come preloaded with drivers for the controllers since Win7. At any rate, I consider the issue resloved since I can play the game without difficulties now. But, if I discover anything new out or things change I'll let you know.

Thanks for all your help. :)
