: Yeah, that's high on my list of things to fix, but it will be much easier
: once NIBs is gone. I'll be able to get rid of the hard coded resolutions,
: and query SDL for a list of supported resolutions. So, it won't let you
: pick one that won't work, and even if you do I'll be able to fall back to
: one that works.

That sounds good. Not that important gamewise, but it would make it a sturdier app. And it would prevent idiots from setting AO SDL to run on screen resolutions not supported by their monitors.. ;)

: I guess what I can do in the mean time is write the error message to the log
: file instead of the console. Sound good?

Yeah.

: How does Aleph One run on that beast? :)

Well, the screen surface of my new 20" is a *lot* bigger than that of my old 15". Then add a very high framerate and now I keep getting the feeling that I'm about to fall through the screen and into the game... ;)

Also, all the jerks and stops from loading huge graphics are gone.

Oh, and I found a few more gripes over AO SDL ;

1) Where's map zoom in button? I can't find it. For that matter, how do I get the framerates? "?" doesn't seem to work with AO SDL.

2) Why are saved games hidden away in app support?

3) Can't start AO SDL by dragging a saved game onto it - thus bypassing the menus.
