Last year, I dreamt I was pissing at a restroom, but I missed the urinal and my penis exploded.
which of these options are more likely to happen when time finally comes for new GUI?1) Fixed size of 640x480, like it always was.2) Fixed size of 800x600 or some other resolution.3) 640x480 with vertical OR horizontal scrolling.4) 800x600 or other resolution with vertical OR horizontal scrolling.5) Other?
5) 640x480 and extending depending on settings.
Since this got bumped, I may as well throw my idea out there:http://dardar.de/bilder/images/4start2.pngMade in powerpoint, and is mainly to test out ideas and concepts (like the game selection, bot adding etc).
How about making the background scene moving? Like some .gif or something like that, y'know what I mean. Nothing disturbing ofc, could be slow motion for example.
And the small preview is a great idea aswell. Could be a 5-6 secs long .gif.
You've done a menu for "Online play", too? If so, do show, please.
And that is the only option unregistered players have.

Make soldat's resolution setting in config.exe only change in-game resolution. 800x600 is usually the smallest resolution still used today, so I say increase the menu's size to anything between 640x480 to 800x600. This would allow use of better spaced menus, like thegrandmaster's mockup.Here is a quick little piece that I did this morning. This is how I would compress space on the player setup page.

Nothing disturbing ofc, could be slow motion for example. I have considered that as a possibility before. I quite like the idea, however, as you say - it would have to be slow motion and faded to make it less distracting.*Quote from: Majoman on March 23, 2011, 04:55:44 pmAnd the small preview is a great idea aswell. Could be a 5-6 secs long .gif.I like that idea. Infact, I like that idea more than the moving background.*I would say that you either have both static (like it appeared in my mockup picture), or one static and the other animated, but not both.Quote from: Majoman on March 23, 2011, 04:55:44 pmYou've done a menu for "Online play", too? If so, do show, please.I haven't yet done that. The idea is that "Online play" would take you to something very similar to the current lobby.However, here's another concept I'd like opinions on... That 'online play' button, on mouse hover opens this:(or something similar)I've always wanted to use fav servers, but they've never seemed to work for me.. I think there also needs to be a dropdown box for favservers in the lobby itself, but this is just an extra idea.
Removing (WM) tag from server names
