Numbers on Sliders in Options Menu
« on: May 10, 2014, 06:54:44 pm »
This is a very minor suggestion I'd like to make, although I'm surprised it wasn't done already with the UI overhaul. It's incredibly annoying to fine-tune the sliders in the Options menu, and this could easily be fixed by simply putting a number on the slider button, which was actually the case BEFORE the UI update... still really confused why it was decided to remove them.

It was removed because most options don't have numbers that make any kind of sense to the end-user. :P If you look at your options.cfg you'll see it's mostly a mish-mash of numbers that have some obscure internal meaning.

That may be true, but a percentage number could be used instead. Most people will have a decent idea what 50% fire speed means. If anything it should at least be done for the volume sliders.
