16-bit or 32-bit colours.

I don't really like more color.

Just wait until people start making wads with images that take advantage of the extra colors.

OK maybe then.

I'll see.

Sometime in the distant future though...

Hobbs, I see we have very similar opinions on the whole 'classic feel' issue, like in the mouselook argument I had with Phoenix9000.

Tell me, what PrBoom are you using and where are the options for 16/32-bit color?

you had a mouselook argument with me?

That would be PrBoom 2.3.x. I tested the True Color option, too, but I think it is close to useless. It apparently doesn't recreate the colormap and as a result doesn't look any better than 8 bit mode - plus a huge speed hit.

Whoops, forgot the number.

I like classic Doom as much as the next person, but I like additional features in good helpings as well. It has been ages since I've played without mouselook outside a DM server.

@Graf any better is a rather strong thing to say. It doesn't look much better thats for sure, if my resolution wasn't 1024x768 (the smallest 4:3 my notebooks monitor displays correctly without blur) I would probably not have been able to tell any difference. So I did try with ZDoomGL, as was suggested by Chris, and OK, its kind of nice but I keep my new position of "it would be a great option, but I don't think it's for me."

That's why these things 9 times out of 10 come in the video options section of games so everyone can pick their preference... and may that never change.
