It looks like this (and can be reskinned of course, it's just a bitmap):

Re: OptionsMenu
A menue... did we not anticipate this moment? :)
Is it me or does the minimap look blank?

Re: OptionsMenu
The minimap's blank, aside from the unit icons in the upper right. World Builder objects do not have visible icons.
Re: OptionsMenu
Your options menu looks very nice. I hope it gets used by many other mods.
If I recall correctly you can set the mini map to any image you want. I did it once on one of my maps, but I forgot how. I think it had something to do with setting the mini.DDS files to read-only.

Re: OptionsMenu
That's a thought. I'll look into that as soon as I can get to it.If I recall correctly you can set the mini map to any image you want. I did it once on one of my maps, but I forgot how. I think it had something to do with setting the mini.DDS files to read-only.
Re: OptionsMenu
What are your caps for terrain detail?
Does unit distance use icons or those godawful squares?
Which water options are you using?

Re: OptionsMenu
it looks a bit busy, you've tried to fit all the options on there at once.
imo follow menu standards ie separate pages for graphics, sound, game, ai, widgets, etc

Re: OptionsMenu
It looks busy because there's no space between one option and the next, not because of a lack of grouping. Wouldn't look half as busy if there was a bit of whitespace between each Game Settings option.
Re: OptionsMenu
I agree with the comment about a bit more space. Otherwise it is looking good.
I prefer the low/medium/high settings to sliders, because the people using this type of menu will most likely have no idea about specifics and they will benefit much more from concrete options.

Re: OptionsMenu
if they are pros they could use the normal settings, normal players will benefit from this easy seperation (i also vote for graphic/music/...)BaNa wrote:I agree with the comment about a bit more space. Otherwise it is looking good.

Re: OptionsMenu
sound should always have sliders
Re: OptionsMenu
All of its logical presets, guys.
For example, maxparticles is 500, 3000, 7500.
Water is 0,1,3,4 (not even bothering with 2 until it runs on high-end machines without dragging them down).
Sound's not on sliders mainly because I haven't studied how to develop one yet. I'll get to that, when I come back to this. If anybody just happened to give me a (very simple) example of source for a slider that can be used to change a number to play with, I'll do it faster.
Some things about developing this are irritating because they cannot be changed dynamically in-game. Spoke to Tobi about that, it sounds like some of it is just going to have to stay that way. And it took a lot longer than I would have liked, just to get it this far- had to develop better tools for designing UIs interactively in Spring before I could proceed.
Speaking of which, if there are any people out there who are more interested in that topic, I think that we should talk about it, or at the very least I can release my source when it's a little bit less orkish get-it-done code.

Re: OptionsMenu
Well, most users can run it, technically, but the game's FPS is too choppy. When I tested on a 9800GTX, it was still slow enough that I'm really hesitating including it- people with that or greater are a tiny minority of the available hardware.
I'll change that if I see evidence to the contrary, I'm certainly open to it. Just afraid of disappointing end-users who aren't familiar with the engine.
