Wishlist for the next Gold update

[Strela]

1-Hotkeys indicated in the menu or toolbar.
2-If possible MP3 files instead of WAV ones. Size of WAV files is so huge (400 MB out of 484 MB; More than 80% of the game). My sound mod weights around 2 GB. MP3 has the same quality sound and by far much lighter.
3-Area boundaries and labels settings auto-saved on game exit.
4-A longer toolbar for modern wide screens.

Hi there,

These are all good requests. Unfortunately, Wargame Design Studio (WDS) don't currently have the bandwidth to update the game exe's the way we did the Panzer Battles & American Civil War engines.

John Tiller provided a little of his very scarce programming time to cover off the couple of things that were at the top of our list to fix and you can see the results of that here.

Things such as WAV files to MP3 (and for that matter BMP to PNG) are big jobs and partly resultant of a code base that was first written back in the '90's. That's not to say these things won't be fixed, just not in the near future and definitely not in the current Gold release cycle.

PS - I have no idea what Are boundaries does - any insight appreciated!
