[Editor] Bigger Briefing Area (multiple suggestions)

[Thisdale]

Would it be possible to update the size of the Briefing area.

This menu option was designed for much lower resolution than by today's standard.

 

Most of us run at 1080p+ (i'm at 2K / VR Rift).

 

1. Image Size:

The 512x512 for images is rather small. I like to convey information with those images (satellite images, flight plans ... and this is hard to use.

 

2. Briefing Text

 

Briefing and Objectives windows are very small. They could use a much bigger portion of the screen.

 

3. Image Page Hyperlink

 

Having the ability to have a hyperlink clickable icon or text that can be inserted in the Briefing and/or Objectives Windows, which automatically switch to the desired image would also help.

We can right (img #2) in the text, but the hyperlink would be much better.

 

4. Select/Copy text

 

The ability to highlight and copy text that is in the Briefing and/or Objectives.

Reason, sometimes i'd like to include user-made videos with YouTube links. It would be nice to have the ability for users to select that link and alt/tab to a YouTube window for viewing prior to mission start.

 

5. Video embedding.

 

Related to #4; the ability to include a video (link) to play in the Image window.

The video doesn't need to be included in the miz file. It could open a web embedded video (YouTube, vimeo...) such as we have in most games/web interfaces by today' standard.

 

6. Audio Support

 

Same kind as 4 and 5. The ability to attach a audio file to the .miz for the briefing and/or Objectives. It could be a hyperlink "play/pause" button embedded in the text, or a playable file from an image slot (click on image for playback...).

Play/pause/DragTime would be nice.

Good reference is MetalGearSolid's audio tapes:

 

 

Thank you for reading.
