Add some kind of "notification“ to the titlescreen regarding content

[Tormentor667]

Considering the content that we provide, could we add some kind of title screen addition that explains that

• a) this mod provides fictional content, not representing history
• b) not representing any form of political ideologies of the modders
• c) sensitive content that might not be suited for everyone

After recent discussions this is definitely needed.

Update Something like this maybe?

Blade of Agony is a fictional scenario based on the alternative narratives of the Wolfenstein game series by id software and Bethesda and the corresponding canon. It does not represent accurate history, our political stance or thinking of the development team. We reject any form of racial hatred, discrimination, (Neo-)Nazism, anti-Semitism or glorification of the Second World War.

We can build this on the IWADNotice class by the way, from the technical side. The player will have to push a button to get rid of the menu.

There is still Sonder disclaimer on the net, you can copy stuff from it.

Can you share that actually?

I just pasted this on the website by the way:

Yes, I definitely recommend that.

I guess this is the disclaimer regarding Sonderkommando ?

No, disclaimer is a screen that was added as starting screen on the actual game.

[Ozymandias81]

Ah true and I even read that thread too... Yeah we should do something like that, and maybe include an r-sac advisory like those seen on Heretic or Hexen, this was one thing I have suggested long time ago.

[Tormentor667]

Simply adding a notification that pops up at the first moment the main menue appears would be fine already. @AFADoomer are you capable of creating something appropriate maybe?

[AFADoomer]

Yes. I was planning to have it pop up on engine load, just like (and immediately after) the IWAD checker notification.

Center/middle, BigFont in gray, fade in and slow fade out over solid black background, then title sequence starts.

[Ozymandias81]

So it should work like the saving icon right? But obviously bigger and in evidence, okay.

[AFADoomer]

I was planning on large text.

We could add your suggested icon to the PC-13 screen, too.

[Tormentor667]

Very good!

[Ozymandias81]

Perfect then :sunglasses:

[Ozymandias81]

So we have, by reading this:

Violence 4 Nudity 2 Sex 0 Language 2

Am I right? Int his case Sex we can remove it from the final graphic.

[AFADoomer]

What about if, rather than using a real/defunct rating, we edit the PC-13 image to "PC-M" or "PC-18" and updating the text there slightly?

That should work as well indeed. --Ozy81

[Tormentor667]

Agreed! Still adding the text at the very top would be an additional thing we should add.

[AFADoomer]

Added the disclaimer message and updated ratings screen in 625b5c3e225ba72dff87af21bc341b1fe44caf82.

[Username-N00b-is-not-available]

There was a small typo 'as created by by id Software', I fixed it in the CSV. @Tormentor667, are you satisfied with this version? Is it necessary to translate the text into all remaining languages as well?

[Tormentor667]

The disclaimer is almost perfect, I'd just make the text centert-aligned, not left-aligned, everything else is working as is.

[AFADoomer]

I actually want to make it full-justified... But if I can't get that working properly for some reason, I'll center it.

[Tormentor667]

Yeah that's fine as well.

[Username-N00b-is-not-available]

@AFADoomer What do you think about showing the disclaimer message only on the first game launch (controlled with a CVAR, of course), to make it less annoying when testing the game?

[AFADoomer]

Yeah, I can do that with a user CVar, if no one has objections.

[AFADoomer]

This should be good after 4832dabc1104a28241c3fc6a9954adb3cd4072f8.

[Tormentor667]

Thank you!
