Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would be very useful to add option to turn off auto targeting rectangles in game engine options.

Describe the solution you'd like All that has to be done is to change value to vis_frame_speed = 0 in w_binoc.ltx. The option could be added under main menu\options\game under draw crosshair option. It could be named auto targeting rectangle.

Describe alternatives you've considered Removing option completely from *.ltx breaks the engine but speed set from 4 to 0 works so far

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the options menu code to understand how existing toggles like 'draw crosshair' are implemented. Then, locate the file w binoc.ltx and modify the loading logic to set vis frame speed to 0 when the new option is disabled.
