Oh, the good old days of DOS text mode and hardware flashing characters. I completely forgot that this existed...

ZDoom's DOS? Are you actually using that ancient DOS version?!

No SVN ZDoom has support for ENDOOM lumps when you exit.

I wasn't sure if that attribute bit always specified blinking in text mode or if it could also be used for the extra colors, so I did the extra colors. I know there are plenty of people who hate blinking text, so I don't know if I'll bother doing that.

Hold a vote/poll, maybe?

If the end lump can be enabled / disabled, why not support blinking text? You seem to be on this old school kick with re-writing the games original startup interfaces, so why not? Its not like blinking text would extend out of endlump, so the people annoyed by it can just disable the endlump.

Well, just drawing the text and then waiting is certainly simpler than constantly redrawing it.

There was a time when I suggested an ENDOOM support, but it was shot down. Guess I was right after all.

I support fixing this for the fact that not one fix or change has been in the log from March 11th And the fact that if you're going to emulate something, make it as real to the original is possible. Now if only I could cause a catastrophic failure in the WoW servers, we'd finally have 2.1.8.

Okay, fine, you get your blinky text.
