mouse binding problem

[Milandrag]

i have a funny little problem. i bought myself a gamer mouse (gigabyte) and of course it has more than just 5 buttons. but the problem is i can't bind all of them. ok left, right click and wheel is working perfectly whilw my other 2 buttons can't be both binded. I've managed to bind 1 (mouse8) but when i bind mouse 7 (bind "MOUSE7" echo test) i dont get any result out. it is also not mouse 9 since the game says there isn't any mouse9 key. but that button (which can not be binded) IS working outside the game (mozilla, UrT...)
i'm lookin forward for replies :)

Just for fun try binding MOUSE4/MOUSE8.

Edit: I see you bound MOUSE8 and it worked? MOUSE4 or MOUSE16 should do it I would think. My guess is mouse buttons work similar to modifier keys(Shift, Alt, Control). Each of these keys is assigned a value(As are all keyboard keys); Shift is 1, Control is 2, and Alt is 4. The sum of the values of each key pressed produces a single value that represents the states of each button.

0 - No button is pressed
1 - Shift
2 - Control
3 - Shift+Control
4 - Alt
5 - Shift+Alt
6 - Control+Alt
7 - Shift+Control+Alt
8 - Hankaku(IIRC)

If mouse buttons work similarly, binding MOUSE7 would actually bind something like MOUSE1+MOUSE2+MOUSE4; you would have to press those three keys simultaneously for it to work.

Well, the keys are all mapped up to MOUSE8...
I would imagine MOUSE9 would be

keymap -9 MOUSE9
[/cubescript]
And so on.

EDITED: i just tried V-Man's suggestion and now it works... appereantly the nonworking key is mouse9 and the mouse7 is the dpi change button :)

thanks v-man :) (clap) (bow)

I still want you to try Mael's experiment and tell us how it goes.

nope i couldn't get to work what mael suggested :(

Let's try another fun suggestion. Assuming you're on Windows, run this program, press each of the mouse buttons, and tell us what value is printed to the window. Left should be 0, middle 1, right 2. When I scroll down I get 16, up 17. I don't have any other buttons so I can't say what they are.
