| - | Readme for Win32 (04 April 2009) 3 | ||
| - | |||
| - | Currently the only client supported is GTK v2. | ||
| - | |||
| - | This version of the client supports SDL and OpenGL rendering, but it | ||
| - | makes no attempt to detect which one is best for your system. It's | ||
| - | strongly recommended that, before playing for the first time, you open | ||
| - | the configuration dialog (main menu, "Client", "Configure") and change | ||
| - | a few settings to your liking. In particular, "Enable smoothing", and | ||
| - | on "Display mode", select OpenGL. Save and restart (the client, not | ||
| - | your system). If your map display doesn't work or has artifacts, | ||
| - | configure again and select SDL. | ||
| - | |||
| - | If using SDL and if your computer is relatively recent, you should | ||
| - | also set the "Lighting options" to "Best Per Pixel". | ||
| - | |||
| - | Finally, if you installed the extra layouts, you may want to try a few | ||
| - | of them. Changing layouts requires a client restart | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Other Notes ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Map scale can be adjusted during runtime in gtk client, but that doesn't scale the rest of the user interface of course | ||
| - | |||
| - | mapscale 200 | ||
| - | |||
| - | Also: | ||
| - | |||
| - | %localappdata%\crossfire\client.ini | ||
| - | |||
| - | The relevant field is mapscale=100 | ||
