Nova Community Edition[]
- Author: andrews05
- Release: 06/10/2023
- Game: Any
- Permalink: Github
Using FunkyFr3sh's patch system, andrews05 was able to combine many different fixes into windows EV Nova's binary. This patch was combined with cnc-ddraw.
- Registration requirement has been removed.
- Game resolution can be set in the ddraw.ini file. By default it will match your desktop resolution.
- Game scale can be set with ui_scale in the ddraw.ini file. min_font_size can be set as well, though font size will be scaled up with ui_scale. For example, x1.3 scale will increase font size to 12 automatically.
- Radar interference works again.
- Asteroids will always work regardless of the resolution. No extra plug-ins required.
- Opening a pilot no longer switches to windowed mode temporarily.
- Windows keys are no longer disabled while playing.
- Forced font substitution has been disabled, allowing original Mac fonts such as Geneva to work when installed.
- Certain non-ascii characters are now displayed correctly (e.g. in The Frozen Heart plug-in).
- The "Run in a window" setting will immediately switch mode, functioning the same as alt-F.
- Odd width resolutions are now semi-supported (by leaving a blank column on the right edge).
- Dialogs are no longer forced to even dimensions. This prevents scaling the background image unnecessarily, resolving a performance issue on Apple Silicon.
- Additional keyboard shortcuts from Mac Nova 1.1 have been added:
- Spacebar to open (and close) ship info in the shipyard
- B to show/hide borders in the map
- C to clear route in the map (previously centered map, but Spacebar still does this)
