Forum :: Client Editing :: Custom Client Ideas: EO screen the same as EO map editors

Imagine playing EO, but not in the same resolution and size as it is now, but the same size and resolution of that you see in the map editor. And then maybe to open your inventory you could press I, and to talk press enter, or t? Increasing the speed would be great. And this would also encourage making big maps because people can explore them easier, if they are running fast, and if they can see wider portions of the map. Also it would make it great for mappers. When we are mapping it looks nothing like it will in game. Seeing exactly what it will look like in game would be awesome

Edit: I think the art of this game could be much more appreciated if we portrayed it in a way that we want to, not in a way that we need to due to client limitations.

Ethan's client will eventually support unbounded display size, if his readme is to be believed.

Ha. Uh. Wishful thinking at this point... :) if I were smart I would have supported that from the beginning. I tried to make an IClientWindowSizeProvider interface that provides the display width/height and use that for placing controls relative to the size of the display, but I don't use it in nearly enough places, so there's a lot of hard-coded numbers.

I might try implementing that though, even though its out of the scope of the project. We'll see. I still need to get back into the swing of working on it after the holiday.

Has nothing to do with me trying to stop his creativity and ideas, I'm just saying topics exist already for these kinds of ideas to be placed and he doesn't need to make a new topic everytime lol

Arglon, you're a forum nazi.
