Disable mousewheel for Rage2

[no1uno]

In games I use the trackball scroll wheel button to move forward (missing middle finger on left hand, can't use the default W) -- most games, including Rage2, use the scroll wheel to cycle weapons, and don't allow changing that. I can usually deal with it, but Rage2 seems especially sensitive, so I'm constantly changing weapons while moving forward. (And I can't find any Rage2 config file to tweak.)

Tried this:

#IfWinActive, RAGE2.exe
WheelDown::
Return
WheelUp::
Return
#If

Does not work, and I've done lots of searching -- help please?

Try:
#IfWinActive, ahk_exe RAGE2.exe

Thanks, but no change.

#IfWinActive, ahk_exe RAGE2.exe
WheelDown::
Return
WheelUp::
Return
#If

Anyone have a link to a script that generally disables the mousewheel? (FYI Logitech Options' sole option for the wheel is reversing direction.)

Never mind -- this does disable the wheel:
WheelDown::
Return
WheelUp::
Return

Generally, but not in Rage2, so I gather I need to look for a Rage2-specific non-ahk fix, dangit.

Make sure the .exe name is correct you can also try the window class or window title.

Make sure the .exe name is correct you can also try the window class or window title.

Windows' Task Manager shows the game as RAGE2.exe, which is how I have it. I tried adding the launcher too:
#IfWinActive, ahk_exe BethesdaNetLauncher.exe RAGE2.exe
Still no effect.
The game runs fullscreen, so I'm not sure whether/how it would work to "try the window class or window title" -- it CAN run in a window, how would I do this in ahk?

Thanks!

Use Active Window Info (window spy) that comes with ahk.

Thanks -- got the below from Window Spy, tried
#IfWinActive, ahk_class RAGE2
WheelDown::
Return
WheelUp::
Return
#If

Still did not work. Tho since turning off the mousewheel all the time (with ahk) works in Windows but not Rage2, I suspect the Rage2 folk have done something deep indeed....

>>>>>>>>>>( Window Title & Class )<<<<<<<<<<<
RAGE2
ahk_class RAGE2

>>>>>>>>>>>>( Mouse Position )<<<<<<<<<<<<<
On Screen: 700, 537 (less often used)
In Active Window: 700, 537

Try to run your script as admin... and use borderless windowed mode (or similar) instead of fullscreen.
Perhaps this helps, too: https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=11084

Thanks, but none of those things worked (except I didn't try 2nd user or Expert steps). Thanks tho!

I had the same issue. I just had to do this and it works:

WheelUp::WhellDown
WheelDown::WheelUp

Essentially you just cancel the action with an opposite action.
