This release brings you many improvements compared to prev version mostly developed by [teh]Flow.

Instructions:
1) Backup your spring directory (make a copy)
2) unpack zip archive attached to this post
3) copy "Widgets", "Images", "Fonts" folders to your spring directory (more info here)

If you have ATI video card: some widgets for some ATI cards can bring "green screen" bug. That is why I said "make backup". If you will face this bug - then you will be able to return to stable version.

Tip: If you have a very slow PC then disable all widgets you don't really need or widgets you don't use.

Oh lord no...

Userland widgets are trepans greatest mistake

[Jools]

Better than to release a new mod version each time there is a small typo in a game widget.

[jamerlan]

zip archive name still contains "jan" when it should be "apr" - don't bother about that. Its just a typo in the file name

[Floris]

Very nice to refer people to a good widgetpack like this one!

I see you included the first widget I wrote: reclaim_stopper. I was too complex and not acurate.
BrainDamage has rewritten it some years ago. Better include his one

Description:
Auto stops the reclaim of a building at ...% (hold 'u' key when giving the reclaim command)



If you find the time, it would be nice if there are some descriptions so people know how to use some of these widgets. (copy of the widget description could do in most cases)

[Floris]

Edited the comcounter widget to support the guishader api effect aswell.

[Floris]

Another addition: show orders widget (by Niobium)
Hold shift+space to see all orders/queue from all units on the map.

I thought it was an engine function, but its a widget after all.

Couldnt find it anywhere online, so here it is.

[jamerlan]

Thank you [teh]Flow! :-) Updated (and renamed) archive!

[jamerlan]

Yes, widgets need better descriptions/tutorials/videos or smth. I will think about that.

Hey , nice widget .
1-BUT i have no sound .
i pull out zip in spring directories as said (erased the match one's) , so what i did wrong ?
2- i have 2 board of players/spec , seems the older and the new one.

thx

[OutRun]

Here i did .
Unzip in spring file did nothing .
so
Unzip in /Luai file did make widgets works but no sound .
so i delete images file-----> players board is white backround and still no sound so i delete front file and nothing else seems change .
New try
only delete widget file ----> no widget but have sound

Hmmmmmm guess i have to delete each widget 1 by 1 T_T

[OutRun]

Pfiouuuuuuuu

Got it , widget mute game spec LOL

[Forboding Angel]

And here, exhibit A of why userland widgets are a terrible idea.

[jamerlan]

1-BUT i have no sound .

Its a mute_game_spec.lua widget. It mutes sounds if you are spec. You can enable suound again using F6.

mute_game_spec.lua - when you start game as a spectator, you did not hear noise. Re enable sound with F6

I made that widget because when you joining as a spectator in the middle of the game you:
1. Hear annoying BEEP at start of the battle
2. Hear noise (too much sounds) during fast forward

So when you are finished loading - just enable sound with F6.

I use this widget and I live it :-)

Sorry for this :-)

[Jools]

It would be a nice idea to automatically mute sounds if ping > ɛ, where ɛ > 5 seconds maybe. Ideally in the engine because maybe it would also reduce lag. I agree that that noise in a replay or when joining is annoying, and I also agree that things done in lua can be confusing if you don't know what's done.

[Floris]

Edited the idle builders widget:

viewtopic.php?f=23&t=33380

[8611]

So when you are finished loading - just enable sound with F6.

Use GameProgress(serverFrameNum) to automatically re-enable sound once catchup is completed.

[jamerlan]

Use GameProgress(serverFrameNum) to automatically re-enable sound once catchup is completed.

Thank you! and jetbird and [teh]Flow and others!

New widget is here: https://github.com/SpringWidgets/mute-g ... s/tag/v1.2
it enables sound when spectator is finished resuming

will be included in next "pack" :-D
