Alright, another idea: loading screens always are in 4:3 ratio, is it possible to change that?

You can set the aspect ratio for loading screens in the tweak tool, on the Display page. If you set that value to the aspect of your monitor, then the original loading screens will fill the screen completely. (Some people prefer that.)

For an FM with custom loading screens designed to look correct on 16:9 displays you'd need to include a SneakyOptions_diff.ini override file in the root containing:

Code:

[Screen]
LoadingScreenAspect=1.78

They will then get letterboxed on 4:3 monitors.

Second thought: is it possible to have videos instead of screens during loading, like the looping background video in main menu?

That would probably be possible but also a lot of work... But the idea is interesting enough that I'll try to have a look at some point.

It works now, thanks! Didn't have a chance to play with all those values yet :)

Another (https://copy.com/rhshboT7nP4ztEhM) beta, where "Radii View" is set as default.

@Judith: Hopefully you can test it a bit to check that I didn't inadvertently break something?

I just checked it, the Radii view works, but only in the Top viewport, and somehow editor stopped displaying grid in that view. It works but you can't see the lines. Other viewports are unaffected. Also, switching manually to Radii mode in other viewports doesn't mess the grid lines. Something's weird.

Arrgh... :( OK, I'll have another look.

If it's too much work, then leave it. It's not that big of a deal, just saves a few seconds now and then.

Just needed to not clear one bit too much and then call the same code for the other windows. Fixed version (https://copy.com/RphDcxp0CTI3xxdt) here.

Works perfectly in all viewports, great! And thank you :)

Version 1.1.5 is out, making the beta features (Radii View in the editor, widescreen support and HUD disable in the 'opt' exe) official.

The installer now includes the tweak tool, and will by default make a desktop shortcut for it so that options can be changed for the editor installation. Because of the included tweaker and ffmpeg libraries, this installer is becoming a bit of a 'fat edition' too...

Edit: Updated to 1.1.5.2 - The only changes are in the game exe.

Looks like it works great, no problems so far :)
