There's an ignore option, isn't there? I will always treat whiners in this fashion, so, get used to it or ignore me.

Sorry. Just noticed I was being a dick in a sticky post. I will ignore you! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Eh? I don't follow. I truly don't. This game is old. It's old enough to vote. P1999 is an emulation of a 1999-2001 game running on a 2005-era client. Who the heck loads an ancient piece of software and expects direct full support for modern screen resolutions and hardware? If you can find it, great, but expecting that kind of support strikes me as strange to say the least. but then I run a lot of old games so I'm used to dealing with obsolescent software....it's par for the course.

Note that at no point have I called your basic complaint invalid. It might be strange to me, but it's real enough. To wit: Why not build what you want? Find a few interested users, put a team together, run the idea by Rogean, and if he has interest then make it happen. That's how the "Make the velious UI more like Velious" project got going. Most of the UI work done over the years has been community-driven. You can be the next step and help make that contribution.

To answer your first question: many people. To give you an idea, I am constantly harping on here, discord, everyehere that eq works better in 4:3 and recommend /viewport. Yet still, you will find that MOST people are playing this game widescreen. If you can't even get them to play the right aspect ratio, how can you expect them to run a proper resolution?

Secondly, I don't need to build anything, because I am willing to find a way to make the current ui work.

My reason for posting here is that there are a lot of people complaining, the UI is hard to use but they don't really undersrand the root cause, and everyone else is just also misunderstanding the issue and telling those people to piss off.

I am trying to redirect the energy to the actual problem, so that people actually understand what it is. Do I expect it to get fixed? Probably not, but maybe. Do I expect most people to work around it? No, they will suffer with a bad set up, or leave. Does it personally impact me? Not really, a minor inconvenience.

I play at 2560 x 1440 and I have zero issues with the UI it's damn beautiful. I suspect that most of you people kicking and screaming should consider LASIK. Great work to everyone involved!

You're new here, but to the rest of us who've been here awhile, re-quoting someone else's post is way to express "+1" or "I agree with what this guy is selling". You can imagine an implied "QFT" (Quoted For Truth) after such posts.

P.S. In general, I've liked the "cut of your jib" (ie. of your previous posts), so I'm trying to say that in a nice way. But look, as someone who is new here, and doesn't yet 100% "grok" everything about this project, maybe a little deference and humility would be a good idea?

I'm not saying "don't have an opinion" or "let everyone crap on you." But at the same time, you could be more respectful, and could remember that everyone with any power to do anything (from the UI developers, to the GMs, up to R&N themselves) is 100% a volunteer doing their best to make Project 1999 better.

To expand on what Fatmagic did years ago. I'm excited for Green's launch, and have created a Green version for your Green Desktop Launcher version. Since having a Blue and Green separate launcher seems advantageous at this moment. Enjoy!

If anyone has any room to grief, its Rogean. Nuff said.
