Why do all the other servers have inferior windows

Post by Atticat » #471241

You know what I am talking about? Feels like playing in the stone age with those four sided glass windows everywhere.

There are arguments to be made for foursided windows, but they're really minor. At the end if the day it's pretty much an aesthetic change. Changing over requires a bunch of mapping, so plenty of codebases don't bother.

The only advantage I see to four-sided windows over full-tile is that four-sided ones are marginally less likely to breach from space dust.

Full-tile is easier to repair and easier to make and doesn't need you to play the window Macarena to get out

Which FUCKING RETARD made it so clicking a grille with glass makes a full fucking window? a full window is easy as fuck to make by just cutting the grille and making both on the same tile, but the same can't be said for the other shit.
