Graphics versus videos

Maybe I'm completely missing the ball on this one, but the game has: "Graphics options" "Video options".

At first glance, its not obvious what the difference would be. So I go into them. Oooooh, one of them is for the actual videos. Gotcha. But on further examination, this isn't the case. The stuff under "graphics options" is actually quite random and the "video playback" option is actually under "graphics". Shadows is in with the video playback but logically should probably be with the rest of the actual graphics options that affect performance (it usually does, don't know about WZ 2100). Also, it's not even slightly clear what "Scanlines" or "Radar" do. I would suggest changing these menus to be more logically consistent.

"Graphics" is about appearance of things, "video" about video card settings. "Radar" sets if the radar in game rotates or not. "Scanlines" puts scanlines on videos. Suggestions for improvement welcome.

Thanks for the clarification.

I'd suggest something more like: "Graphics Card Options" "Game Display Options" (I can't think of anything better other than "game options" which is already taken)

I'd also move "Shadows" to "graphics card options" assuming that they have the same potential effect on performance in WZ2100 as they do in other games.

edit: we still can use Player Option, maybe open a pool in thread System Option -> current Game Option Graphics Option -> graphic card things + shadows from Video Opt Game Option -> current Video Option Audio Option -> current audio + subtitles from Video Opt

still not sure where to put Screen Shake
