Tiny suggestion for windows visuals

Timo Pietilä · May 12, 2018, 08:13

Hello.

Suggestion: change this line in font-win.prf

Code:

feat:open floor:*:1:7

to this as default:

Code:

feat:open floor:*:1:8

Still centered dot, but a bit larger. It is a small change, but the effect to the game is IMO quite big. It makes much easier to see where you have been and where not and your light radius way more visible.

Current centered dot is tiny, almost invisible single pixel: you can't really tell if it is white or yellow, and in dark corridors where you have been it is dark grey making it difficult to differentiate from pure black which is a corridor you haven't seen yet. Especially if there is any kind of reflection or glare on your monitor.

Sorry about bad grammar, my English is a bit rusty.

Omg Timo, where have you been ?

Working mostly. And mostly sleeping when not working.

Now enjoying 4.1.2. Have been playing 4.0.5 and somehow missed 4.1.x release completely. Rune-based ID, no trap detection and reintroduced curses are real improvement to the game. I'm not so sure about cone-shaped breath weapons yet. If 4.1.2 follows the NPP rules in that it makes breath weapons much less scary (damage reduction with distance) and much more annoying (item destruction in the entire distance of the breath).
