Quit is to much complicated, and others suggestions

Post by enric »

These are some suggestion for a new version

When wanted to quit a game, or after a save, there should be a way to simple quit.

Now you need to go back to the game screen, then click the X, then go to another window where you are notified that you has failed, then another where the casualties are shown, then the campaign choices, back, back, until the window where it's, at last, a choice to quit.

Another thing is the cursor movement in the save games windows, it moves at steps, not natural.

Finally, if anyone has to much saved files and not know how delete such files or which to delete, I've made a simple utility that shows the real name of the saved file, the saved name, the date last modified, and allow to delete it.

Al refers to Mac version, I do not have the PC version. The utility can be compiled for PC but I can test it.

Thanks for the feedback.

- a quit game button in the battle is something that has been on the todo list for a while - it's just a matter of making sure that it can exit cleanly. I will try and bring it to the top, as it is inconvenient as it stands.

- the load/save window uses a lot of string drawing, which is quite slow on the mac. It can also show the same effects on the PC. There is a certain historical reasoning behind it to do with the original approach causing hard locks with broken (so broken...) drivers from a certain manufacturer. I'll make a note to revisit the performance of the screen.

- the next update will include (and in fact already does) a button on the load/save screen to allow easy deletion of save games.

Hope you are enjoying the game, and thanks again for taking the time to give us your thoughts.

Cheers

Pip

Pip, notice that if you load a game from de main windows, just after starting the game, the cursor here works ok.
