Is this still planned to be released at some point? Higher resolutions make old maple a lot more enjoyable imo, and that UI looks really nice
you should fix bosses dc issues before working on other things. horntail keep dc the whole time doesnt matter if that's with vmware or not. other v83 servers bossing works just great without dc at all or GFX please fix it...
If I remember correctly, it was stated that a new client would need to be made to fix d/c issues with bosses/game. That's a huge undertaking for the single programmer that's on the Staff team. I wouldn't be surprised if they're working on it on the side.
hey thanks for replying !!! just wanted to ask where did you see that exactly ? couldn't find anything on that on forum...
I love the 800x600 resolution, because it allows me to watch tv shows/movies etcetc while playing the game. So as long as this resolution is still available, I like it
I also agree, if Royals were to change resolution in the future, please keep the 800x600 resolution to be also available with the new 1024x768 client. My screen real estate is pretty small, so it's already difficult to have 2-3 clients up for me with my laptop (whilst watching youtube/netflix/surfing the web).
I have to say that for now, it is unlikely that the old resolution will be supported once we move to 1024x768. We understand that some people may really enjoy the 800x600 format for its old-school aesthetic, or practical small size. However, it is not very convenient to maintain two setups of files and more importantly, the new resolution brings about changes to graphics of certain maps, and thus, the positions of NPCs in them. The NPCs have fixed coordinates on each map, and would as a result be incompatible with multiple resolutions. Keep in mind the new resolution is still a fairly modest one, and I personally think it still retains the very same nostalgic feeling, and does not take up very much space on any HD screen.
It's not really about the nostalgic feeling, it's about being practical. One thing I find awesome about this server is really the 800x600 format.
besides being able to watch/do something else while playing? 800x600 is just awesome dude. Make it 1024x768, but would be great if you keep 800x600 format.
I'd say add options to select even higher resolutions. Some people don't care for the missing background in certain maps. The game is still much more enjoyable with a good view distance. This way those who like to keep things the way they are, can always change it.
i don’t doubt what you say, but I’m curious. If increased screen resolution is just showing us more of what’s already avail, why do NPC positions change. Is there like a position scaling factor that needs to be adjusted or something.
The answer to your question is in the fourth screenshot in the original post by Matt; custom maps to fit the new resolution.
