An Older Version OR

[esketcher]

Well Since I like Using this product on my Windows 7 systems and it works very well.
I have found that downloading the current version doesn't have the graphical user interface that I am used too from the older version.

My Question is how do I get my hands on an older version?
Looking through the manual there is a section on the menu to switch screen this new version doesn't have it nor the files associated with the graphic version.

I am assuming that this version is an upgrade from the older one, or did you remove the graphics version on purpose?
I prefer the Graphic version looks so much nicer than plain text in boxes.

Yes, the more graphic-oriented menus have been dropped in recent versions of OR. They did look very nice, but I believe the underlying programmability of the WPF (Windows Presenatation Foundation) wasn't as flexible as conventional forms-style menus, at least not for the direction OR is going.

I think the current menu style is still really a placeholder for more development to come. The design can be dressed up and refined over time

I have not noticed they removed the WPF shortcut since I would copy and then over write each new release hence WPF remaining in the OR folder.

I can send you the WPF file if you would like.

The graphical menu was removed because nobody was willing to maintain or bug fix it, and there was little point having two menus.

If you do use the graphical menu from a previous version, please be aware that it may stop working at any version in the future, should we change anything to do with how the menu talks to the main game, and there won't be any fixes for that from us.

It would be nice to know why exactly you want to go to these lengths for the old menu, though.
