Two simple questions that would help me with my current projects.
1. What screen resolution do you typically run within CFS2?
2. Would a utility to output all gauge names in your gauge directory be helpful?
# 1 is for something I've always wanted to try. The 2000 SDK state's --
The most important feature of a panel system is its readability. It should not only be
convincing, but must look acceptable at any resolution. Two sets of art are created to suit
the needs of every resolution.
• One set of art is created at 1024x768 resolution and then resized down for
800x600 resolution.
• The other set of art is created at 640x480 resolution and then resized down for
320x200 resolution.
What if I painted a gauge at really high resolution and sized it down to say 1200x960? Would it make any difference? Could you then put the panel farther away?
For # 2 this new knowledge is incidental per another interest but I could use some practice coding. If you guys would find it helpful I'll put it on the list as a homework problem.
Guess I'm "back" now,
Sam
