A fix for the mouselook x/y speed disparity

[Ropethunder]

Have you ever been frustrated by mouselook moving quickly in one direction (up and down) and very slowly along another (left to right)? Well, I don't like it either. So, I put together a little fix for it. Enjoy. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

At the moment this tool only looks at your display resolution and not resolution of the game itself. So this will only be useful for those who play full-screen.

What is does:
-------------

  This tool will correct the x/y axis disparity that exists when using
right-click to mouselook within the EverQuest client. It does this by
identifying the current aspect ratio of the display and accelerates mouse
movement along the x-axis based upon that ratio while the right mouse button is
being held down.

Why this problem exists:
------------------------

  The origin of this bug exists from the original code calculating the variable
mouselook speed based upon the number of pixels along the width and height of
the display. Back when computer monitors were 4:3 (almost square), the
difference was negligible and probably had gone unnoticed. However, at any
widescreen resolution this problem becomes much more apparent.

How to close the tool:
----------------------

  To close the tool simply right-click on the program's icon in your system
tray and choose "Exit" from the popup menu.
