Native Mouse & Keyboard input

A mouse cursor and keyboard controls for Forza Horizon 2 on PC (Azimuth). Drive with the keyboard, point at things in the menus and click them, drag the map, turn the garage camera, place decals with the keyboard, and fly the photo mode camera, all without picking up a controller. The controller keeps working as before, and you can switch between the two at any time.

FH2 Mouse & Keyboard (FH2Mouse) is a mod for the FH2 Mod Platform.

InstallingYou need Azimuth and the FH2 Mod Platform, which every platform mod ships. Extract the release zip into your Azimuth folder (the one with azimuth.exe), so you end up with:```DWrite.dll the FH2 Mod Platformfh2-mods\FH2Mouse.dll this mod```The zip ships the platform as DWrite.dll only, since Azimuth 1.0.3 no longer loads d3dcompiler_47.dll. If you have a d3dcompiler_47.dll from an older mod, it can stay; it's simply not used.

> IMPORTANT>FH2Mouse.dll goes in the fh2-mods folder, the FH2 Mod Platform's. Don't put it in mods: that folder belongs to Extra Options and holds its plugins, and the mod won't load from there.

Start the game and move the mouse. The first launch creates FH2Mouse\FH2Mouse.ini next to azimuth.exe.

To remove it, delete fh2-mods\FH2Mouse.dll and the FH2Mouse folder.

How it worksThe game's UI library still contains a mouse system, but the Xbox build never feeds it and its hit testing finds nothing. FH2Mouse finds the control under the cursor itself, from the menus' visual tree (including the 9° perspective tilt most menus are drawn with), moves the focus there, and sends the same key presses the controller sends. Pages then behave exactly as they would with a pad. The map, the garage and photo mode cameras, and the decal editor read their inputs through a few small hooks, all made through the platform. Every hook checks the game's code first and is skipped if it isn't as expected.
