Last second observation/request for cut scene movies - TA

April 19, 2008 4:15:59 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I know this is a last minute request but would it be possible to make the cut scene movies only open a windowed version of themselves please. Currently if you are running anything above 800x600 resolution the clarity of the movies is terrible and a real low point in a graphically brilliant game. Running the cut scenes in a pop-up window would allow them to show in their correct format and you would lose the terrible resolution you currently have.
The main culprit is the initial starbase constructed video which looks so blurred at present.

Many thanks though for a great game

Heh yeah that would be nice

I run the game full widescreen 1680x1050 (my monitors native res) so its very stretchy and squished. I've kind of gotten used to widescreen support being lacking in anything but the very latest titles since I bought the monitor a year ago and to be honest unless it directly effects the gameplay its not that big a deal.

I'd rather dev time went to gameplay etc, but it would be nice if the first capital ship launched by my empire wasn't the SS Spindly Stick Insect (with chin mounted quad star poker) that looks like its going to snap in the slightest solar breeze.

Which is another reason why i MUST refine my intro-screen by blackening around the tiny but easy going 320x240. (Hint, hint...) Bik editing is somehow tricky and yet--

Although, the in-game miscellaneous other pop-ups can actually benefit from a modded dxpack recompile version - it's obvious some stuff has to be declared in the main-code itself.
Darn, gimme that hex-editor scan to patch somethin' up, would you?
