G'day all,
Would it be possible to change the location of the FPS and Clock widget? I find that the ping on peoples names tends to mask the FPS and Clock widget.
Request: Change location of FPS and Clock Widget
Moderator: Moderators
Ahh, but the problem is I like the player list. It's true that I use it the most when specin, but I also do use it a fair bit when playing (monitor my ping, check if any team mates have dropped, check if whoever just typed in public is in my team or op team, etc).neddiedrow wrote:Not sure, you should be able to manually edit the coordinates, but it might be better just to hit "/info" into the console and hide the player list.
It would be nice to be able to change the font size of the player list, that would alleviate the problem quite a bit.
Actually while I think of it, allowing the option to choose the 11th plus player would be nice too! but that's a separate issue, which is apparently possible but I can't figure it out.
Just tried it but couldn't get anything to move... get a box at the bottom left that allows me to resize, change the order and move, but it seems to have no effect. moving the mouse over the fps and the clock doesn't highlight a box that you can move... is there any doco on the tweak mode that I can look at?tombom wrote:Ctrl-F11 activates tweak mode and you can move stuff around if it supports it. I think FPS and Clock do. It saves the position.
I'll try that specing option when i get a chance... no major games on now
and thanks for the info.
Sorry you're right - FPS/Clock don't seem to work in tweak mode, although I thought they used toMetalSkin wrote:Just tried it but couldn't get anything to move... get a box at the bottom left that allows me to resize, change the order and move, but it seems to have no effect. moving the mouse over the fps and the clock doesn't highlight a box that you can move... is there any doco on the tweak mode that I can look at?tombom wrote:Ctrl-F11 activates tweak mode and you can move stuff around if it supports it.

IceUI works though.
Moving those widgets is a pain because you can't do it in tweak mode. Instead you need to open LuaUI/Config/widget_data.lua and adjust x and y posf. The numbers are fractions of the screen width and height, and go 0 - 1 from left to right and 1 - 0 from top to bottom. I would show how my GUI is set up, however I can't until next spring version because I can't take screenshots of the viewport when the minimap is on the left.
No worries, prob is i dont use iceUI, not overly fond of it... :) Thanks for the confirmation though.tombom wrote:IceUI works though.
No worries, i'll look at that... is it possible to post your widget_data.lua so I can use and see what your screen looks like? maybe we could have a post of peoples popular widget_data.lua's with a screen map :)LordMatt wrote:Moving those widgets is a pain because you can't do it in tweak mode.

Hmm it only has Build Bar, Clock, Eyes, FPS and IdleBuildersNEW... I thought it would have had more?
Any idea what IdleBuildersNEW is? The others are obvious to me.
:edit:
I presume that -- is to declare the rest of the line as a comment and to be ignored? sorta like // for c++/java?
I have the clock in the top right of my screen, just below the resource bars. Try this out in your widget_data.lua:
Clock = {
font = "LuaUI/Fonts/FreeSansBold_14",
format = "orn",
sizef = 0.014999999664724,
xposf = 0.99000000953674,
yposf = 0.94999998807907,
color = {
[1] = 1,
[2] = 1,
[3] = 1,
},
IdleBuildersNEW is a widget that displays idle construction units and factories with small build queues.
And you're right, -- declares a comment in LUA.
