Increasing mouse turning speed

Hi all,

I know this is going to seem like an unusual question but I would like to know if there is a way to increase the turning speed of your character when using the mouse beyond the 200% slider in game. There are often files you can edit or /commands that will set the speed higher than the game normally allows. If anyone knows of a way to do this with city of heroes, I would greatly appreciate a point in the right direction.

The mouse sensitivity can be set to a very high level, but the reduction in turning speed is a killer for disabled gamers. The website I work for, AbleGamers, does reviews on the accessibility of video games, and I would love to include a way to make the mouse a viable option for those who have little arm movement.

Thank you for your time.

The slash command for that slider is:

/optionset MouseSpeed 1.0

1.0 being 100%

As for it being able to go beyond 2.0, I am not sure.

On a side note, if you have a mouse with extra buttons on the sides, you could bind those to +turnleft and +turnright as well, and maybe speed it up that way, especially if you raise your Turning speed as well.

/optionset SpeedTurn 3.0

That's the default 300%. The in-game scale goes from 100%-1000% (1.0 - 10.0).

I just tested:
/optionset MouseSpeed 4.0

..and it seemed to go significantly faster than 2.0, so I guess it looks like that's your answer.

As for the cap...

I set it to 10.0 and did an optionsave, and the result was 6.0 in the file, so I'm assuming 600% is the actual cap.

Edit:
I also tested the cap for SpeedTurn, and the result was 30.0 (3000%)

I hope that helps. It's far too fast for me! lol

Enjoy!

Thank you very much. It is unfortunate that it is capped at 6.0 - I would be much more comfortable at 10.0.

Still, this was very helpful. Thank you very much.

I don't know if this will be helpfull for you or not, but I recently got a rather cheep gaming lazer mouse with 5 dpi settings switchable from the mouse itself. and when i hit the buttom and switch to the highest dpi setting I can turn 1080 degress with small movements of my mouse. Don't really use that particular setting in the game but being able to switch the mouse sensitivity like that may be more helpfull to you in the long run as you could turn fast when needed and switch down to a lower sensitivity for more presission movements without playing around with slash commands.
