Aberations in graphics

[joevenzon]

Rather than try to guess which menu to reload textures in, etc., we need to just make the game restart after changing display settings once (except for in Linux where this isn't necessary). In order to make the game restart itself, we'd need to change a lot...like make main into a class, that can be re-initialized.

I don't quite follow you here. The program shouldn't need to restart itself, it just needs to re-init everything, which is what it used to do whenever you clicked OK in the graphics options.

We can't assume that users won't press OK in the Advanced Display Options menu, and then press Cancel in the Display Options menu.

I realize this would be a band-aid, but it seems better than just doing nothing. Your idea of having a "game must be restarted before changes are applied" dialog pop up works, too.

I think the ideal would be to not re-init things when you leave the advanced screen and only re-init things when you leave the graphics options screen according to the following logic:

if OK on graphics screen: re-init
if CANCEL on graphics screen: re-init if OK was pressed on the advanced screen
