Nobody enjoys this. At the very Accessibility feature, a way to jump repeatedly automatically. Supported by various third-party Quake engines as well. +## Quality of Life: Mods Win32 DLL loading + +Valve ships Proton. Make it so the native Linux version can load Win32 dlls. It's something we've talked about before and some people have successfully tested - it'd be interesting to pursue but kind of a pipe dream. + +## Improvement: Support old backgrounds + +Old mods ship with backgrounds for the original MFC version of the Half-Life menu. Check if a splash.bmp is in the current game dir depth and not one of the VGUI menu based .tga files. The video card requirements on Steam + Half-Life was raised high enough that no GPU that can only load 256px textures into video memory can run the engine anyway. Might as well store a non-power-of-two image like that in as a fallback if no VGUI menu files exist. + ## Quality of Life: add `find` console command from Source Or maybe just make the console nicer to use in general.
