Save more environmental game settings

from GalCiv3 Forums

One of the things I found lacking in GC2 was that any time you reloaded/restarted a game you had to re-establish so many settings, such as:

The zoom depth and view angle of your galaxy

The selection of which "Civilization Manager" you were viewing (F6) and which list item you had your colonies sorted on (i.e., colony name, planet quality, population, et al.).

Minimap zoom factor

 

I think the number of environmental variables saved should be increased.

Give me more time to review GC2 play and I will come up with more.

Well, I guess this would benefit the lazy, I am sure it wouldn't hurt them to have such an option, but wasting an entire save file on one feature seems a bit extreme, possibly they should have a save file on everything including the layout, where you want the video screens or information to pop up should be up to the player. We would need more responses to this topic

I guess I wasn't very clear. Yes, there are a lot of settings that are saved in .ini files, which is really intended generically for options that might persist from game to game and wouldn't change once a game was started (such as galaxy size). The views or settings I am talking about are those generally manipulated during a game and would be saved with a game in the same file the saved game was put into.
