Update 1.03: GUI Scaling Added, Added Optional Mods Feature, Fixes & Steam Workshop Support

[MegalomaniacNG]

ADDITIONS
• Added GUI scaling option for use with very high display resolutions.

FIXES
• Eliminated administrator mode dependency when installed into Program Files. Saved games, logs etc. are stored in the user’s AppData folder.
• Restored Windows XP compatibility.
• Fixed incorrect loading back of in-mission saves containing ship formations causing crash when the formation leader destroyed.
• Fixed unwanted activation of absolute ship movement when switching to Steam panel with Shift+Tab.

MODDING ADDITIONS
• Added Steam Workshop support.
• Added the feature “optional mod”. These can be switched on/off
individually and used along either the main campaign, multiplayer or any
of the standalone mods overriding their models, textures, movies, sounds,
missions etc.
• A standalone mod can be an alternation of the main campaign iself.


We hope you enjoy the game now even more and we hope to see some great mods!

Amazing support, guys!

Workshop integration 12 years after release - must be some kind of record, I'm sure.:D

To help you guys out and add some content to the currently rather barren workshop section, I've uploaded my old and sadly unfinished Freespace Evolution mod. Check it out, if you liked the Freespace games and don't already knew the mod: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=813497939

Still waiting for the patch to arrive on GOG, any ETA?

so is it possible to have the game use an aspect ratio that matches a modern computer?

Sure: Start the game, choose single player in the launcher window, go into "options" in the main menu screen after the intro vids and choose a "display resolution" of your liking; e.g. FullHD 1920x1080 is possible.

You can setup that option on NVIDIA panel (game's 3d settings) to force it on.

Is there any GUI hd mode? There is scale option but it looks weird -- GUI elements is pixeletated.

I know, I know. But ingame option is much better.
btw, I doesn't have NV cpanel, cause I have ATI Radeon, instead of video card.

Bug: In the Sneaking mission, the cloak timer is not visible if the 1.4x UI Scaling option is enabled.

Cool. But how to use it? :D
There is only "1x" in the Options. There are not other things to select.

Also tried to change it in the options.ini but does absolutly nothing.

Thanks a lot. This game looks too beautiful to play in 1080p!

This is possible using the AMD control panel too, but I don't know the exact place.

Someone could call Mr. Aparso and ask him to send to the workshop his mods!

What's keeping you from asking him yourself?
