Feature request.  "Map name on starting new level."

User is offline   Devon

Hi!

I would really like it if the name of the map would apear in text when you exit a level and transition to another.

Only thing that happens now when you exit a map is the statistics come up and then the new map starts when you press a button.

Why not have a text come up on screen when a new map starts or a screen just before entering a map saying (now entering bowels of the earth) for example.

As it is now you need to open the automap to see the levels name in the upper right corner of the screen,

Anyway it would be cool if this was in the game.

Actually it does appear, just that it loads so fast you don't really get a chance to see it.

I got bloodgdx installed on a ssd and i cant see the name of the level because the screen comes and goes in under a second, it is impossible for me to see the text.

maybe add a (press a button) too continue ?

Is it possible to see the map names in the load/save menu? In eduke32 the names are displayed there.

I can, but I think this feature will annoy users

In that case maybe make it optional?

Another way of doing it is too a slight delay before the level starts.

Im talking a second or two at the most.

The original game had a load screen before aswell.

or let the level title remain on screen for a short while after entering the level

Seeing as the thread title is appropriate, can you add an optional feature to disable showing keys on the minimal HUD? As I find it detracts from the immersion and it would make sense to implement so you can have the option of the original HUD, which contributes to the project's goal of trying to be as faithful to the vanilla engine as possible :rolleyes:

I can do that.

unzip it in the same directory as BloodGDX then add include keyless.def in bloodgfx.def

It works like a charm thank you, however as a result the keys don't light up in color on the larger huds giving the appearance you have none at all, is this a necessary comprimise? o:

Yes because they all use the same tiles, all I did was replace those with blank ones

There are a a fair few requests here for options for small features. M210 should be weary of feature creep from threads such as this. If the process continues and everyone adds their two cents for a personal preference it could be death by a thousand cuts.
