Happy Mything!

Is it just me, or does clicking on the 1.7.2 link on the top of that page take you to the 1.7.1 page? Is it supposed to?

Fixed.

As far as I can tell, this patch is just perfect.
Fullscreen now works under Wine without any registry key trick, and performances are incredible.

You released the patch I've been waiting for ever since I switched from Apple to Linux. Great job, congratulations.

bug:
Something I see that looks like a bug, after I follow the link to download a map (for red hosts) it resets all my host game settings, I guess to whatever the red host had set. So I think following the download link should not reset game host settings. I'm on MacOS 10.5.8

suggestions:
I'd like the team health display (capslock) to not have the blue border (option?), maybe just the health bar and/or adjust transparency. The blue seems to stand out and is somewhat distracting. Maybe even set it so the capslock has 2 states, health bar and blue border, or just health bar.

A crazy host option would be "join game in progress" so a player can join after the game started, and the captains in game see a list of "recruits" and can pick one out (or maybe just autobalanced) Uhh this is pretty silly but Im just tired of waiting 10 - 14 mins for the team game to end that just started but I missed joining because I blinked my eyes. On the other hand I remember about OOS problems in the past and I figure this would mess with that?

For Mac can you make it so Myth ignores the Finder hot corners (like show desktop etc)

Maybe redo the interface for higher resolutions (1280x800 etc)

How about a counter display in the pregame that shows the number of people in the game so if you know you're starting with an even or odd number of players, without having to count.

Microphone support (ok maybe not)

if I come up with any more wacky ideas I'll post them unless someone tells me to stop, eheheh

It has always been like that when you try to join a game in-progress, for example. Over the years, some people have argued it is a feature in disguise, if you want to copy the settings of the game you tried to join. But given that it keeps coming up with new people reporting it, I think it might make sense to finally just fix it. (Note, it has nothing to do with whether you click the arrow to go to the Tain to download the map, or not.)

I think there might be a setting for this - in the control preferences. I don't remember exactly the options it has, but I believe it might have the behaviour you suggest as an option.

This is a feature we've long wanted to add - especially for coops where it doesn't present the difficulty of choosing teams etc. But it would take a lot of work to make this work, so no idea if we'll ever do it.

I'm not sure there is API we can use to do that, short of taking full control of the screen (which we don't do for a number of reasons...).

You can use the .count command for this.

.count?

that's a real function? way cool, i never knew that.

There's some others too. Type .help to see a list. (In pre-game lobby.)

yeah i've read the .help command output (more than once since i can never remember syntax of anything), i must have just missed that one. now i have to go re-read to see what ELSE i've been missing all these years.

That one and a few others got added to Myth back in the 1.6.0 update.

New .commands to be used from game lobby: .version (your game version), .count (how many players in-game), and .host (who is hosting game).

Then a few more got added back in the 1.7.0 update.

Added new game lobby commands: .help, .plugins, .info and .userid.

i completely misread these and thought they were lobby commands instead of in-game pre-game commands. doh.

Cool thanks Myrd, and thanks to Project Magma for the upkeep on Myth. 1.7.2 runs great, I love the optimizations done, Myth 2 is one of the few 3d games I can run that doesn't over stress my MacovenBook.
