I was wondering about this for a while.. how many of you use Caption?

Neobeo · Apr 28, 2007, 05:52 AM

Can't say I use it in levels, but the only real level I've ever made, Neobeo's Firetruck, does actually use Caption, so Yes.

CrimiClown · Apr 28, 2007, 05:55 AM

Yeah. I mean, why shouldn't I? Gives you a little extra in windowed mode...

... not that I make a lot of levels anymore... but yeah, I usually do use it.

Violet CLM · Apr 28, 2007, 08:56 AM

I use it whenever I remember it, but that's not every time.

Fawriel · Apr 28, 2007, 10:21 AM

Like UR. When I used to make levels, I sometimes remembered "oh cool, there's the caption thing, too", then select a tile and immediately forget about the whole thing again.
I think most of my uploaded levels have one...

DoubleGJ · Apr 28, 2007, 10:34 AM

Almost always. Sometimes I just forget.

blurredd · Apr 28, 2007, 12:11 PM

Practically always, and just because I can.

Xobim · Apr 28, 2007, 12:17 PM

Same as what UR said. It can give just that extra amount of ambience to a level...

Caption was more of a win9x thing. As far as I know, XP and Vista do not decorate windows in the same way, so it is basically useless for anyone running a not-ancient operating system. As such, I don't even remember the caption feature exists most of the time.

Yes, I sometimes use it. But I do forget it quite a lot.
It does show up in Windows XP, not sure about Vista. It's not really that useful if you mainly play in full screen.

cooba · Apr 29, 2007, 02:03 AM

It shows in XP, but the colors are off.

ThunderPX · Apr 29, 2007, 02:13 AM

It also screws up the buttons a bit if you're using XP Style.

ShadeJackrabbit · Apr 29, 2007, 08:00 AM

I sometimes use it...

n00b · Apr 30, 2007, 11:15 AM

Woah is that what caption does?
I'm using it from now on for sure.

Valco · May 15, 2007, 07:36 PM

It doesn't screw up the buttons. I always use caption, though I can't see it.

(I play in fullscreen.)
