I have something new to report, and you had better believe I've gone to some great efforts to get this far! I have obtained the source code for Autodesk Animator Pro, which now lives at http://animatorpro.org. I've just been up til 4:30am looking at the source code for both dosbox and this program, …

Well I never could actually find a way to retrieve absolute coordinates from inside dos. The assumption seems to be that a mouse just operates on deltas, end of story, and dos itself didn't keep track of any absolute position. (why would it need to? it doesn't have a windowing system). The mickey_x …

Okay so I had a good look at Mouse_CursorMoved() and determined through a process of selective commenting out, and experimentation, that, whatever happens with the mouse handling after Mouse_CursorMoved(), AutoDeskAnimator never sees the absolute coordinates (mouse.x and mouse.y), as a Mouse_ …

Ah the clip coordinates seem to be correct- As long as the mouse is not locked. When the mouse is locked, something really strange happens which I can't quite work out. The clip coordinates get bunged up. Regardless of that, animator pro still doesn't seem to be treating the coordinates correctly ( …

Excellent! that did it! thank you! I will report on my findings as soon as I find them.

Ah, I see what I need to do in sdlmain.cpp, Unfortunately dosbox doesn't seem to compile properly on my computer. ( I didn't think of that before posting. d'oh!) Copy code to clipboard 1 core_dyn_x86/risc_x86.h:125: error: PIC register '%ebx' clobbered in 'asm' Looks like I've got a bit of research …

Yes. THe mouse works fine, though the wacom tablet uses absolute positioning, so even if dosbox has "captured" the mouse cursor, the wacom cursor does not behave as captured unless directly over the dosbox window.

Hello, I have been using DosBox 0.65 with animator pro for a while now, and I must say I'm impressed with its performance. I have just one pet peeve though. When I use my Wacom tablet with dosbox, I have no way of controlling what coordinates of the tablet coorespond to the coordinates of the cursor …
