In Response To: Re: Whither WMAID? (rampancy)

: Oh, and one more question. Why do the dates in the terminal window for those
: two image screens say "January 1, 1900"?

I'm not completely sure. I was using the Rubicon AO Lite app when the images were captured in game.

Regarding terminal images, etc for desktops:
I'll try and get desktops of things up in the next two weeks.

A quick note: All of my base-work over the years is done in 72 dpi. This (while appearing to cripple high resolution versions of the images later) was easier from a design point of view. When rendering things at 300 dpi - they have to be reduced to 72 dpi for Marathon (and the "Terminal Images" resedit file). I found text, and detail is lost if you design higher than you want, then go down.

Thus, the dpi of the desktops will only be 72dpi - unless people want me to start blowing things up in Photoshop for the benifit of people running 1024x768. :)

What res. sizes would people prefer for desktops? 640x480 seems small, even for my aging Powermac - I'm running at 832x764, for example - which isn't much better. Forge happens to freakout on higher resolutions though.

To address Forrest's question: Those are actually logoff images.
However! Look at some of the Rubicon Dream terminals - using a tool called "Cinemascope 1.0" it modifies alreddy merged terminal images so that you can have "widescreen" images in terminal places OTHER than the start or the end.
... but I can't get it to work, so I just gave up and made those images the logoff screens. : ) Perhaps Scott or C Lund could shed some light on the issue.

Regarding random development questions:
WMaiD will not go through several different releases. That's Eternal's way, not mine (no offense Forrest! Do what works for you).
It will have one, final release when it's done. I can't say when that will be.
My dating relationship, second year university essays, and many other things trample on my Forge - time. I am working to polish the levels that are closer to being done than others.

I really do appreciate everyones input and encouragment for WMaiD.

Any other questions (or any I forgot to address here) drop me a line via email, or post here.
