SPEAK YOUR MIND
"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free
to move?"
"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as
metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course,
the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom,
as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning.
Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

In Response To: Re: Question Regarding Map Titles (Wail of Suicide)
: Oh, okay. That's true, they are visible in the save/load
: game dialogue. I just bring it up because I was
: looking through this UT single player campaign
: Xidia/Xidia Gold and noticed that before every level
: they had the screen black out and displayed the map
: title, then fade back in.
That's a pretty neat idea, though I doubt we would implement it for no other reason than I just don't think it's important enough for us to bother. To be honest, if Captain actually felt like doing that, I'd have no problem with it. The problem is that in the original Marathon, the teleportation from one map to another was a pretty fluent and smooth process, a process which is severely interrupted by UT load times, which we can't do anything about. Therefore, deliberately interrupting it to display the map level might not be such a bad idea, I just don't know if Captain is willing to do it...I'll ask.
