Increase default value for rd_fast_reload_under_marine_scale

Open WhenTanksFly opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

The out-of-the-box config has it way too small to be adequately visible - and it's such a crucial mechanic that there are several negative reviews about it being poorly telegraphed (though some are probably from before it was enabled by default):

With rd_fast_reload_under_marine_scale 2.11 and rd_fast_reload_under_marine_height_scale 2.77 it matches the bottom-left bar near the portrait, at least on 1920x1080, yet (in my opinion) still feels too small to be comfortable. I think rd_fast_reload_under_marine_scale 3.5 and rd_fast_reload_under_marine_height_scale 3.85 is good balance between readability and distruptivity, even on 800x600. Better than the current one anyhow.

Once the under-marine bar is big enough, the bottom-left one may as well be removed for fresh installs.


A different job would be to fix where the white part of the bar is drawn - it should be extended slightly to the left to better fit the input window. sad bar This is singleplayer. Network fluctuations that can affect quick reloads, failing it when it should've been fine, are a whole different can of worms.
