Apparent incompatibility with tablet...

    I noticed this when i tried to do some drawings in the game using my Wacom ctl4100 tablet and looks that the game isn't fully compatible with tablets or idk...

     

    The cursor gets stuck while moving to one or another point of the screen, I'm not so clear about what causes this problem, I checked if my drivers were ok and they are so the only thing to point about is the game itself.

     

    Would be nice if this gets "fixed" in game :)

    So we don't currently support tablets directly, and there's not much TPT would benefit from supporting them, since it can't do much with pen orientation and pressure. Despite this, tablets still tend to work with TPT because the driver emulates the events a mouse would send (mostly limited to mouse button down, mouse button up, mouse movement). I've confirmed this works with two tablets (one Wacom, the other not) and a laptop touchscreen that is supposedly a Wacom product.

    If the cursor moves to where you start drawing with your pen, but then it never moves from that spot, that means your driver does not emulate mouse movement events. This should probably be configurable somewhere. I have a Wacom tablet, but I don't use it on windows (the driver is a joke), so I don't have any advice on what to configure where, but in general, you want the "fully pretend to be a mouse" option.

    It's also possible that your tablet's driver somehow confuses our input library, in which case possibly not even adding support for tablet input would solve the problem. Mouse emulation really should Just Work(tm), and that's the driver's job.
