Advanced settings

What do you think about an advanced graphics window, with resolution, filter types, a slider for FOV etc.?

I'm not sure what plans creators have for their mods. I'm happy to leave integrated mods where they are if easier, although it would be awesome long term if they're split out to Lypyl's mod system. I know Lypyl is working towards that end with his enhanced sky mod, and I believe a couple of the others (birds, grass) would be reasonably trivial to port across.

And when I saw Interkarma's announcement that mods will be removed from the main menu, this kind of player-friendly in-game mod installation/settings options page was exactly what I was hoping for - thanks for your hard work!

It's taking shape. The background texture is updated to reflect the filter type.

Any suggestion, what options should i place in? Does anyone have a nice picture to use as background?

But seriously, you should add FLAT/MODELS option, as this is really important.

Is there a way to change FOV already?

Just an FYI related to advanced settings. Another contributor, @midopa, has changed weapon swings to a gesture-based system over my previous method of mouse direction over N frames. This creates a more classic feeling and should improve the situation for users with lower frame rates as total mouse travel is sampled.

This also has the effect of removing the following settings:
  • DebugWeaponSwings
  • WeaponSwingThreshold
  • WeaponSwingTriggerCount
And adding the following setting instead:
  • WeaponAttackThreshold (lower for less mouse travel time, higher for more mouse travel time)
The WeaponSensitivity setting remains the same and serves as an overall multiplier to swing sensitivity.

I've removed the DebugWeaponSwings Checkbox from Advanced Settings fields setup. It doesn't appear to be used at this time anyway, but just wanted to inform you of changes. :)

Thanks; that should help with my mouse rotation bug.
Previous experience tells me it's very easy to misunderstand the tone, intent, or meaning of what I've posted. If you have questions, ask.

Change is only related to how weapon swing gestures are handled. I'm not sure it will have any impact on mouse sampling bug in VMWare Workstation.

...Well, it can't hurt, anyway. Heh.

I'm hoping it gets fixed in an update, because while the mouse "game mode" has been even more derp the last few X.Y.Z updates, it's actually been getting .Z updates, and fairly quickly.

My experience with VMware has typically been much less frequent updates.

I overhauled advanced settings window to support multiple pages. This should give all space needed by various talk and inventory windows settings recently introduced and help bring more settings from ini.
