Hidden doors, illusionary walls, original interface

Hi there Rikkles,

Love what you did with Relorded so far, thanks for the good work :D. It's important to be able to play these old gems and sometimes the QoL features are what get you to play. I have two questions however. Just to fiddle around I headed out with the pre-made party and found that hidden doors (such as the one to the Y-guild) are clearly marked in the window. Is this connected to a new character bonus? I'm looking to hand-map and take time looking for secrets the original way, which leads to my second question: I wouldn't mind using the original interface (with your QoL), but that window is small enough resolution wise to make me have to squint. Is it possible to get it to be larger? (I'm talking original interface f-11 here). The reason i'm asking is because the hidden walls and secrets are still visible around the edges of the original interface, with the new interface shining through. 
To summarize, is it possible to either turn off the visible secrets, or is it possible to make the original interface large enough to cover them when they appear in the new interface behind it?
Thanks again!

Hello Bloyamind. Thanks for the good words. Hidden doors can be seen in a couple of ways. First, make sure that you don't display secrets by going in the menu Relorded > Map and disabling "Show Hidden/Unopened". And second, make sure your leading member of the party doesn't auto-sense hidden doors. But that door being "seen" should only happen after the party has stepped next to it once.  Let me know if these things don't work, that would be a bug.

ONLY THE LEADER USES THEIR SPECIAL ABILITIES.

Now you could play Relorded without sensing anything hidden by just playing like we used to play Deathlord: use humans exclusively. :)
No one ever used any other classes because they sucked compare to humans.

As for F11, I should probably provide the ability to zoom 2x the original window.

Rikkles, thanks for the reply! Sweet. I'll dive in and give it a try! :)

Ok, so I dove in for a bit and every time I untick the show hidden/unopened box it reverts to checked.

Okay that's a bug. Probably introduced in one of the latest updates. I'll take a look and also see if I can add these other features.

I just pushed version 1.0.8 that fixes the bug with the menu where all the map submenu wasn't working. Sorry about missing that in the previous updates. I also added in the emulator menu the ability to zoom the original apple interface 2x.
Enjoy!

That is absolutely awesome, thanks a lot!

good luck. You’ll need it. :)
