: Now that I've hopefully shown my appreciation, I'll be annoying and
: note issues, reasoning that if I add the minor inconvenience of
: reporting them properly through Sourceforge I'll just end up not
: reporting them at all.
I'll address some of these inline. Hopefully it's informative.
: The new icons only show up in Windows Explorer, not in the title bar in
: windowed mode.
What I'd like to do is add a way to specify a window icon in the scenario MML; that way even if you run a third party scenario it will show up in your task bar correctly. Unfortunately, there wasn't time to add this for 1.0.
: M1A1's animated textures are still there, and I don't see a way to
: disable them in Preferences.
This was discussed, and we decided to leave them in. You're right, there's no way to disable them.
: Software mode in 4:3 resolutions shows up unnecessarily letterboxed
: and vertically squashed when the HUD (either version) is on.
It shouldn't appear different than OpenGL. This could be a bug.
: This mentions TrueType font rendering in terminals, so I'm not sure
: why they still look blurry and antialiased when they're enlarged.
They're still rendered at 640x320 and then scaled up. Plus, we're not using TrueType fonts because film playback and co-op sync depend on exact font metrics (!!!) :C
: The new HUD makes terminals show up unnecessarily small.
There are some options in the preferences for scaling up terminals.
: It seems potentially annoying to not see how many delicious chips
: you're carrying in the new HUD.
Hmm, I think the Xbox game showed these. We must have forgotten to add them...
: Terminals still don't pause the game like in M1.
This was changed (in Marathon 2) to make co-op work. It's not out of the question to emulate the old behavior in solo mode if/when we get true native file support working.
: It doesn't make sense to have Dark rather than Normal be the default
: gamma setting; not sure if it was like that in the original.
It was the default!
: The player arrow still shows up with the multiplayer color in single
: player, making it unnecessarily hard to see with the default Slate color.
We tried to mitigate this a little by making the default color in Marathon red. The other two games probably still use slate.
: Still two fists in M1.
Yeah :(
: Always Run is still on by default. Do people really use that?
Never stop running, never stop firing.
