Let me know what you think.

Sounds nice, but the improper looping of both this and the original menu music has always bothered me a tiny bit. I blame my excessive attention to detail. Can that be fixed?

I actually really like the new music for the 2.1-series start menu. Additionally, I have created a concept start menu idea that you might like. It is shown below.

I had an early concept of a custom menu and loading screen that I never finished. Since your concept looks pretty good, I went back to the loading screen and changed it a little to be similar to that. I've uploaded both the image and the source file (.xcf) to GDrive for anyone who wants it.

(I can't embed the image without signing up for a new service, and I'm already signed up to enough!)

I started, but never completed it because I'm rubbish at reading the scans. If anyone wants to help with making numbers more clear (and probably also changing how the measurements are done so it's easier to code in), it'd be well appreciated.

Plans I found online: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kp8Pohdf4-9m6FUfxw56DunCNlpMbS80/view

Did you get it?

Yep, thanks.

Where did you get it?

I can't recall exactly, it was just the first result when I searched "wtc blueprints".

I have some floor plans and diagrams on my phone I can send you to add context. Is that okay?

Yeah, sure! I'll PM you my email, you can send it to there.

I'm going through the code to try and find the loading bits so I can attempt to add Application Support use, but I'm not sure which file the load function is in. Can you let me know where it is?

Will the next Mac build use the Application Support folder? One simple method could be using the folder as an override for files in the application. (e.g. when loading files, black.jpg in Application Support will be loaded instead of the one in the application's data folder)

I plan to do this for the old towers, but the floor plans I found don't have very good resolution (some numbers blend together) and I'm not sure about all the distances. If you're good at reading architectural plans, let me know and I can send you the PDF.
