Hal900xStarwalkerHal900xHowever, I am not pleased that NIV is unavailable in 640x480. Is this really necessary?
The resolution is too low at 640x480 to display all of the stuff that NIV needs to be displayed. It would need more than half of the tactical screen, and in the strategic screen there's not enough room left. So it was clear from the start that NIV would never be able to support 640x480.
So what if it covers everything up? It's not like you need to see anything else while you are viewing it. I can see if it overwrites the portrait area, IF that causes some kind of buffer overflow or whatever, then sure that's a hard limit. Otherwise, why not?
Back then, during the brainstorming phase, Headrock drew up lots of tactical interfaces, and people needed to get used to the fact that NIV already took that much space in 800x600. No one wanted their tactical screen cluttered with an inventory.
Basically, we were surprised how many people play on the tactical screen with the inventory /open/.
We could not do anything in 640x480 that would have pleased the community.
You will have to ask Headrock and ChrisL whether they want to make a 640x480 interface especially for you.
But if they do, and anyone else besides you sees what they have done, we'd get comments on how stupid it is to fill up the tactical screen so much!
