What? I'm just saying that nowadays the options are turned on by default
I have implemented easy setup in the launcher to try and meet your concerns. If you have any suggestions to help make the launcher more useful and user friendly then Im certainly listening.
I've nothing to complain about the launcher for now, I think yu get the wrong idea about me
Pehaps the launcher should be more visual to give you an idea of what you are choosing.
that said, to be honest, I think all those graphical options should be... in the graphical options tab in FS
then again:
Heres a few reasons we use command line flags:
1. It would take a fair bit of effort to have a ingame selection screen, it would be a pain to have to update it every time something changes and would require new art which in itself would cause back compatibility issues.
2. To fix problems its really good to have a tester able to say my options on are "-whatever -whatever" rather than users having to describe the feature in their own words. So it really does help with idenfying problems and solutions easily.
3. Time spent on *any* other solution would take time away from bug fixing and feature developement.
4. I would hope that anyone who owns FS2 and still wants to play or is willing to download it of abandonware or pay an excessive amount to get one of the limited copies is intelligent and patient enough to tick a few boxes and read a few small explanations.
fair, fair, fair, fair, but then again, that's never been my concern
As for the SF2 owners thing: put bluntly, no. Moders tend to forget that usually, games are for gamers, not moders. Yeah, it's fun making mods and all, but isn't all that meant to be played by lambda players, still? To me, same applies to the SCP.
If you want an autodetect feature (which would be great) why dont you stop complaining go off an do something about it? Do research, surveys and polls to gather the satistics we would need to make such a feature.
Rah, I don't, who really needs that? Was just what I saw in the latest videogames I bought, since you asked me. You're drawing too many conclusions from what I say
Sometimes I feel its all want want want from some people, then when you need help testing or with anything else where are they then?
I don't want anything, excepted that what's ALREADY done is turned on, coz after all, the point of something coded is to be used?
I don't think THAT was such a crazy request so I'm regarded as being a complete ass just for asking
( I suppose idiotic is stronger in english than in french, coz seems that post triggered it all
)
Ah well.
