I believe they should put this in the next patch of BYOND, just fix it up a little bit to make it run correctly.
Has anyone gotten it to work with the new BYOND version?

No, it definitely won't work for BYOND 3.5, as it works by hooking into the drawing code in the BYOND executable, and the location of that code changes with every new BYOND version.
Someone with decent disassembler skills could take the time to fix it, but this would have to be done every time a new BYOND version was released. Including it in the main BYOND release would fix this problem, but they can't do that directly because BobOfDoom put BYONDplus under the GPL, and BYOND staff don't want BYOND to be GPLed. =) If they rewrote it themselves, perhaps in OpenGL so it could be ported more easily (BobOfDoom used DirectX) then both problems would be solved... but I suspect BYOND 4.0 is more of a priority at this point. | |
Wouldn't that make porting it alot easier?
I know you would have to recode alot of BYOND, but if it makes it better, why not? | |
If they reprogrammed all of BYOND for OpenGL or DirectX support, they might as well add a full-screen mode too. It would take a long time, too, since BYOND isn't really Dan or Tom's "full-time" job.

What they really need to do, is hire some trustworthy people that know ALOT about C++ and OpenGL, I mean heck, what are we paying them for!? =P

15 dollars a year, times how many members there are (100?) isn't really exactly "high pay" for some programmers. One professional programmer would be needed to pay way more than all the memberships cost per year.
