Force Footprint Style

[dwbennett]

Ok, this isn't a big issue and may have already been addressed (I couldn't find it) but no matter what style I chose in the Game Option dialog the style displayed in the game is "Box". I have changed the style, saved the game, quit the game and restarted the game but still no change.

The game version is CO2 5.1.28 .

Again, not a big deal but kind of interesting.

Great game by the way. Now if I can just learn enough about it to get more than a draw.

Take care,

Don Bennett

Don,

Thanks for your post. We experimented with different footprint styles but these used Microsofts' Direct Draw code and this proved way to slow to use while the game is running. It was like watching treacle. So we disabled it during the running of the game. The only way we're likely to get this back is if we ditch the whole MS MFC interface and go with something like Unity. But that would be such a big undertaking that I wouldn't hold my breath.

No problem, Dave. Thanks for the reply.

And, no, there isn't any need to work on this feature. There are many more important parts that, no doubt, need attention.

Thanks again and take care,

Don
