simple playerlist widget

since none of the existing playerlist widgets satisfied me ( bloated, lack of realtime update, not displaying ceasefires, etc ) I made a simple player list replacement which resembles a lot the default one
what it can do:
- you can change sorting by clicking on the column headers
- you can send a pm to a player by left clicking his name
- mid clicking a player's status will toggle ceasefire if you're a player
- you can spectate a player by clicking to a player's ID if you're a spectator
- it shows both incoming, outgoing and bidirectional ceasefire status
- mid click on a playername as player to share selected units
- left click on a cpu prompts for sharing metal ( enter amount in the chat )
- left click on a ping prompts for sharing energy ( enter amount in the chat )
- mid click on a cpu to equalize metal between you and him
- mid click on a ping to equalize energy between you and him
- hovering a playername will show his resources
- you can move it in tweak mode ( ctrl+f11 ) and it'll guess by itself the expand direction
- you can change options in tweak mode
- you can hide spectators permanently
- you can show spectators only on mouseover
- you can show the playerlist only on mouseover ( it'll collapse to the header )
- you can make the playerlist to reappear automatically when a player is lagging
- you can hide the spectating marker
- you can optionally show the skill column
ingame alliance/ceasefire/truce legend:
< is mono-directional ceasefire alliance, you're allied with the player
> is mono-directional ceasefire alliance, the player is allied with you
= is bi-directional ceasefire alliance, you are allied with each other

updated again, fixed font to use baseline alignment, now you can use 0 spacing and no font overlapping giving same vertical efficiency as default ( excluding column header overhead ), although I will keep 1 pixel line by default as spacing for aesthetic reasons

Since no one else is responding let me remind you to eat yourself a piece of pie.

If you expand this with icons, BD, I think I have all the icons you might need.

looks good.
Get rid of the (%) and (ms) for a big improvent on horizontal efficiency IMO. If you can't work it out yourself then you probably don't need to know.

Good idea imo

maybe have the ms nad % on a second line. As one more row should not make a big difference in the usual games of 6vs6 + 6 specs or so. or in case this is possible, add it as a tooltip.
not that i would care for it, it is fine as it is for me

It would be good if you can fix it so that the playerlist is moved to bottom right when window is resized, this is important for us who play spring in windowed mode on linux.

downloaded it today and it works great. simple, compact and has the right features. exactly what I want :)
further suggestions:
- color ally state red/green/white instead of player color might make it easier to discern at a glance (or it might make it look messy I guess)
- tooltips describing state (ceasefire state seems kind of complex) and click functions would be handy (assuming this causes negligable overhead)

this works for me :
Code: Select all
function widget:ViewResize(viewSizeX, viewSizeY)
bottomrightx = viewSizeX
end
