Ok ignore my last post, I figured the mouselockbind.ahk loading part out but I would still live to set my mouse button 4 (which is one of the two near my thumb) to activate/deactivate cursor mode.
Any help for this newby would be great thanks
and btw this mod is so amazing great job!
I will be able to look at it in a few days. I'd suggest you get used to holding alt to use the cursor for the short times you need to, it is actually convenient and interferes with very little. Hard to get used to, though.
Ok sorry for my incompetence but is there a dummy guide to get this game to play like tera? I installed lockdown and its running fine but I'm lost when it comes to how to make my LMB and RMB use skills in combat. I've downloaded and installed AHK like the curse website says but how do I use it? step 2 says
Run Addons\Lockdown\MouselockRebind.ahk(This has changed!)
where is this addons folder?
I would also like to set my mouse button 4 (which is one of the two near my thumb) to activate/deactivate cursor mode.

If you installed with the Curse client, you right click on Lockdown in the list, and find the option to open the folder for the addon. It is actually located in %appdata%\ncsoft\wildstar\addons IIRC
Once you do that you're basically there as far as being ready to use. You seem like you're already following the documentation which is good.
Also: There is no support for directly binding to Mouse4/5 unfortunately, due to how I handle keypresses. If your mouse software can remap it, you can map it to a key and use that key.
If that fails, I might be able to do something for you with the AHK (That's kind of what it is good at)
Thanks for replying. The only way I can get around this is to remap the key in my setpoint software. The button is normally used for my browser back button though. Is there some way to map the ` key to the backspace button so that the mouse 4 button will do he same thing?

Hope that makes sense.
You can always pick a different key for actions inside lockdown. It just doesn't detect mouse clicks or modifiers (alt, ctrl, shift, though these can be selected separately) - A key like F7 or F8 should work.
I've been using Lockdown with no problems and it works great for me. I'm trying to get it to work for my wife too. I did everything the same as I did for me using your guide on curse.com to set it up. The problem is her RMB LMB won't rebind. Camera lock is working fine and the reticle appears but the rebind isn't working. The only thing I could find different from my setup and hers is that for some reason she can still run forward while pressing RMB/LMB at the same time. Any thoughts?

The AHK script is either not set up properly or not working. Follow the troubleshooting for it on the addon page.
Went to troubleshooter. Ran script as admin. Profit.
That's a weird bug. Any idea why it does that?
I don't know exactly what causes the problems, it could be Wildstar being run as admin at first guess. (A non-admin process has great problems interacting with an admin one, for obvious reasons, even just to get the cursor state), or other permissions-related issues.
This is a very minor issue I just thought I would let you know about. The targeting breaks during Prototypes, but then works fine after. It has done this for a long time.
Also, I am unable to target the robots/satellite-dishes in Northern Wastes that you are supposed to freeze for the daily. You have to disengage Lockdown and manually click on them to target.

Keep up the awesome work!
Breaks how?
Also some interaction targets aren't targeted, yeah. I had that issue on the story npc escort in Farside. It's mostly an issue of me catching edge combinations of activation and reward states. I try to fix them when I find them, I haven't capped yet.

It is a boss fight where some bosses are "out" attacking your group, and some bosses are suspended and not-targetable. When the bosses change who is "out", it breaks the targeting. Something about the room I think... because to target the first boss(Commander) you have to manually click on him.

I'm not sure how to fix this. I can suggest that panning your camera so they're offscreen temporarily should fix it (Units are re-evaluated when they come onscreen), but that's just a workaround.
Can someone explain why, from time to time, a friendly party member is targeted if my current enemy target dies and there are no more hostile targets? Also why does a new target get automatically selected in first place?

Well, there's not really a lot of someones here. Mostly just me.
The dead unit is untargeted because it's a unit Lockdown is tracking as a potential target, and was the subject of a UnitDestroyed event. This is mostly intended behavior, as I found no use for continuing to target a dead mob in combat mode. Counterproductive actually. This also explains why a new target is selected in the first place.
As far as why it will target a friendly? What are your targeting settings in Lockdown?

I will try this and see if it works next time I'm in GA.
I just started playing Wildstar and I absolutely love this addon. Its good to see that it is still being maintained. Just one question, though.
I have been using your addon with another addon called KeybindFreedom. This allows me to remap the right and left mouse buttons in the game with no need for an AHK script. I also tried YetAnotherCombatMod which has this functionality built in, but the addon is no longer maintained. It would be awesome if this functionality was built in so that when you toggle the lock on the mouse buttons are remapped and when you toggle them off they go back to the default key bindings. Just a thought. Thanks for the great addon.
That is the reason the AHK script exists, I don't include it just for fun.
It is, as far as I can tell, the best option until Carbine adds functionality (The ability to tie a set of keybinds to mouselock state, or bind keys separately for mouselock)
You'll notice that KeybindFreedom and YACM can't do anything to fix keys breaking in/out of combat.
The reason I include the AHK script instead of a packaged EXE is so you can see exactly what you're running.
This is one of two things I've had to work around because I'm lacking support from the game; I also handle targeting entirely separately from wildstar's native UI. Lockdown could easily use native mouseover for targeting, except we can't move the location it locks to..
Edit: Glad to see that you like it, though. I'll have to grind some plat in the next few days so I can keep my account active and fix bugs.

It seems like the cursor doesn't get properly centered when it's automatically unlocked/locked by opening/closing escapable windows.

Curse PremiumI can't reproduce that, but that functionality does require the AHK script to work.
Unfortunately I can't reliably reproduce it either and I only notice it when I'm in my healing spec (which doesn't happen that often).
I'm trying to better understand what's the root cause of it.
