left handed mouse setup?

from Sins Forums

It's probably staring me in the face but I couldn't spot how to swap the mouse buttons for a left handed set up?

cheers.

Do you have the buttons swapped in Windows? That should be all you need to do. Other than that I don't think there is an option in game to swap the buttons.

I can not figure out how to enable a left-handed mouse setup, either. Sins seems to ignore the system settings for the mouse that are set though the control panel in WinXP. Would someone from Stardock or Ironclad look into this, please?

Thanks.

I figured how to swap the buttons in the game. Go to the file C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Setting\uimappings.setting and find the section that reads

CURSOR_BUTTON_0
NumMappings 1
Mapping
Device "MOUSE_BUTTONS"
DeviceInputID 0
isAltDown FALSE
isCtrlDown FALSE
isShiftDown FALSE
CURSOR_BUTTON_1
NumMappings 1
Mapping
Device "MOUSE_BUTTONS"
DeviceInputID 1
isAltDown FALSE
isCtrlDown FALSE
isShiftDown FALSE


and swap the DeviceInuptIDs so that CURSOR_BUTTON_0 is set to 1 and CURSOR_BUTTON_1 is set to 0.
