With this update all functions besides drawing range circles have been removed and can be found in other widgets.
There is no more automatic detection of units to draw ranges for, there is a unit list now for each supported mod. Currently CA and BA are supported. Adding support for other mods is easy as pie.

-Displays ranges of ally and enemy defense buildings. (Ground/Air/Anti-Nuke)

Enter tweak mode by pressing CTRL+F11 and you can drag the buttons position around to fit your needs.

See following image for an example:


Feature requests and bug reports are welcome.
Thanks to the Lua guys for helping me out!

Props to Evil4Zerggin and Marmoth for code samples!

Download at SpringDownloader or at:
http://spring.vsync.de/luaManager/

I assume it only does this if you can see the unit?

THis is very very cool! Thanks dude!

opengl.h.lua is depricated & it's functionality has been integrated in spring

you can safely remove that line (please do because recent installations doesn't provide such file and adding it would be rendundant

you actually you have to, or it won't load because it won't find the file

EDIT: i have a problem running it in linux:

Once you saw a building, the widget saves its range to display it permanently. So you dont need LOS any more to see the range of enemy's defense

@Brain Damage:
I get the same error in WindowsXP if I remove the opengl.h-inclusion. Maybe better leave it in?

It's a widget and widgets can't cheat

What stops them from cheating?

The same thing that stops you - if you can't see enemy unit, widgets can't see it as well, etc ...
I've thought everyone knows that.

Looks like a useful widget, but I got another question. What font are you using? It looks a lot cooler then the font that come with spring.

It's IceUI's font: FreeSansBold. Before you ask, I'm using it in our tutorial too

Best to assume no one knows anything, except for trepan.

nice widget esspecially for anti nukes. It doesnt mark mobile antis though.. bug? BTW how does widget know when antinuke is empty? cause it does not mark empty antis.. just full ones oO

@jK:
Thanks for your hints. It's fixed now and still working

@LOrDo:
Yes, it's MelTrax IceUI, which is awesome. I didnt made any further modifications to the font.

@ginekolog:
ATM the widget only looks for buildings, mobile units are not taken into account.
The behaviour of just marking loaded Antinukes is very strange
It is not intended and quite mysterious I will have to test it. Thanks for reporting.

IceUI wont update for me
So I guess I cant get the new one.

On what OS?

LOrDo, do you also have the problem that you're version of wget doesn't support the one switch I used?

Anyway, you can always get IceUI directly from the SVN:
https://meltrax.homeip.net/svn/IceUI/br ... entSpring/

Great widget! Thanks for writing it.

Whats wrong with xta?

It seems like the weapon definitions and its damages get handled in another way in XTA. I was not able to determine the weapon types like I did in mods like BA and CA. If someone has a hint for me what I am doing wrong I would like to implement XTA-support as well.
