Brightness/contrast

Lisif Deoral · #1 March 31st, 2002, 11:06 PM

On my display, SEIV is very dark. I usually keep my monitor's brightness & contrast settings to 60%, but I have to increase them to 80%-90% for SEIV.
Since most of the game can be modded, I wondered if there is a global brightness setting somewhere in the .txt files?
I'd like to be able to actually see the Xiati...

No, unfortunatly not. You have to either adjust your monitor or modify the specific images you have the problem with.

I love the Xiati shipsets too; but yeah- they can be a pain to spot on the main map.

YEP, on my system too i have to set it up to 75% 80% even just to see clearly enough on empire menu the total for Organics,even playing in a dark room?, unless im going blind, organics has a lower brites then rads or minerals, among other things?.I emailed MM about a month ago for an option on this, ive recieved no reply yet, hopefully more players will email him for this?.

One solution would be to low resolution:
if you running 1024:768, switch monitor to 800:600. All objects (including ships) will appear much bigger. You will have to scroll the main menu bar, but there will be less problems spotting ships.

I do have bad color vision and do reconize the problems you mention.
I would like to see MM let us change the background colors from inside the program. I wonder if it is possible to change the background file or is it hard coded? I belive the main maps can be modded.
I would like to see:
The text on the Resources screen changed to white and put at 10pts Courior New, (or other non profortional font). This would help the colums of number line up.
Meanwhile I keep al; magnifying glass at my computer and have removed ship sets that are too difficult to see.
