LockCamera v2.91

Brilliant widget. Together with Ally Cursors you can see exactly how people play.

bug: it shows "ockCamera" instead of "LockCamera"

I think it has an oversized 'L' all the way down the left edge.

i thought so too, but then i searched within the lua and he forgot the L :)

It would be super amazing if it followed unit selection - so you could see when ppl queue stuff, issue orders to tanks etc...

[BaNa]

i think there was a widget for that, but in the absence of one, control a and shift does the job.

[Evil4Zerggin]

I might do something like that in the far future, although I think it belongs better as a separate widget or as part of AllyCursors.

Need an explanation on how the gui works

request/suggestion:

could the widget start with closed menu?

<LockCamera>: Sorry for the camera switch spam, but this is the only reliable way to list camera states other than hardcoding them

looks like it is possible to get rid of this code
because:

Code: Select all

function GetModeFromName(name)
  local camNames = Spring.GetCameraNames()
  return camNames[name]
end

update: looks like I am wrong and GetCameraState returns a lot of other parameters

I very much recommend to take a look at:
https://github.com/spring1944/spring194 ... adcast.lua
https://github.com/spring1944/spring194 ... camera.lua
https://github.com/spring1944/spring194 ... camera.lua

lockcamera split into two: a broadcasting gadget and a receiving widget with chili interface)
All camera/network code split into easily usable shared files
Compression was added reducing data size by 50% more or less.
