Allow disabling of mouse targeting

I never use the mouse for targeting (especially because mouse targeting is currently buggy on Mac: http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=4 ... =mouse+mac ), and sometimes my new mouse with its stiff cable tends to move ever so slightly right when I'm using a talent, causing it to shoot miles wide. It would be nice to be able to disable mouse targeting for those not interested in using it.

I realize I may be in the vast, vast minority in wanting this 'feature', so if anyone can tell me how I might modify my game to achieve this instead, I'd be greatly obliged.

You mean you're targeting with the keyboard and as you do so, the mouse moves one pixel causing your shot to go in the opposite direction; usually right as you're pressing enter?

Happens here too, and I approve of this idea. I haven't died to it YET, but there were some incredibly close calls where my main nuke went flying in the wrong direction and hit me to boot. And I *HAVE* lost an escort to it. (Nuke went flying behind me, wiping 90% of the escort's health. All because the mouse 'twitched'...)

Yeah, exactly that. Although I haven't had any real close calls due to it yet, just fits of annoyance. :P

I just made a quick and dirty addon (just commented out one line of code) that effectively accomplishes this, albeit with the unwanted side-effect that mouse-over tooltips of npcs or terrain no longer work. I'm working on a more refined solution, but this should do the job for the interim:

Made an update that allows the mouse to still work normally while not targeting, and added an in-game option to enable/disable mouse targeting.
