I just about posted a bug report herein, and was having a major problem last night in an LDoN zone. I started running it this morning, and decided, just to be thorough, to check the shortcut on my desktop for MySeq. Lo and behold, It pointed to 1.15.11, and not 1.15.14. The 1.15.11 version had WAY wrong offsets.

Soo.. here's my request..

Could we put the version number in some relatively inconspicuous place on the front screen, like perhaps in the status bar at the bottom, or on the right side of the offset area? Just a small '1.15.14'.. or whatever would greatly help us know EXACTLY what version is running ;)

TY.. and of course, NO BIG DEAL.. its avail in Help/About too... i know

I will look at adding a Splash Screen type thing or something.

Just wondering why you would be keeping any old version? I always just overwrite the new version over the old. If you're just wanting to save the previous working copy until you're sure the new one is working, zip up the whole directory in one backup file (or copy it to a backup folder).

Re: Why I keep an old version...

I keep a shortcut to the myseq.exe file on my desktop. When I download, I download to a directory folder with the version as the name (i.e. 1.15.14 for example). Normally I update the shortcut to point to the new directory, I simply forgot to update the shortcut.

And.. A splash screen is cool.. but isnt always around. I was hpoing for a small (VERY small) version number somewhere on the main screen.

OK, well, if yer gonna add a splash screen, may as well add in an option to turn it off (for those of us who hate splash screens).

How about just putting the version in the title bar of the window ?

I can put it on the titlebar with a toggle option, since most folks really don't car to see it all the time.

Turn them on Options -> Map Settings -> Shown Spawn Points. The Spawn Timer List does not currently do anything. Once the mobs have been killed and respawn the timers will start showing up. At 1 min 30 secs they will start to flash yellow and at 30 secs they will flash red.
