Images for messageoptions settings
« on: October 18, 2008, 11:10:48 pm »
Actually I improved messageoptions settings - we decided to use pictures as headers for the columns pause, notify and sound. As there are no good pictures, I used some placeholders. Ingame you find them under Options->game->pause/message (menu options_pause in menu_options.ufo)

If anybody has some good pictures for these, please add them.

I`d like to add, this images should mean "Pause", "Notify", "Sound".

but please keep in mind that these "options" should not stay in the options menu - but go into a seperate menu. currently all the other options in the options menu are stored to cvars and are not campaign related. the messagesystem options are only saved in the savegame - thus the menu should go somewhere to the geoscape, and should be removed from the general options menu.

The second is a bit like a popup window. (can be missleading imo.)

Yes, may be. But really I don`t understand what "notify" isexactly, and how can it be drawn. :-)

I take an "message" icon from Miranda IM, and redraw it.

Anyway, this icons are buttons, so let`s show it to player :-)

PS: screenshot has been cutted :-)
