Star Explorers Testing Branch Updated to Pre-Release Version 0.2.3

There are just a couple small changes to the UI

  • Pressing the interact button "E" by default, will now close any open dialogues or inventory panels, as well as alert panels
  • Pressing the jump button "Space" by default, will now close any alert panels, but will keep inventory and/or dialogue panels if they are open.
  • I found an issue with the screen resolution function that would cause errors if youtried changing the resolution without changing the type (fullscreen vs window). This should
  • hopefully* be working correctly now.


[h3]About 4K[/h3]
I found a way to scale menus to better match the new, high resolution monitors. The system works, but it would take a very long time to redo all the game's menus to work with the new system. For now I have put this idea on ice.

I am considering revisiting this before the 5.0 update is ready. Perhaps once all the gameplay and new features are ready, I will have time to implement this with the 5.0 release, but my current thinking is that it will just delay the release unnecessarily.

I will be reflecting on this idea, and welcome any feedback from players.
