Advanced Players List widget

[Marmoth]

please update the widget
this bug has been solved

[ginekolog]

this widget is quite perfect now, GJ Marmoth.

[lurker]

It keeps showing player 0 as ally when I change who I'm watching, and it even switches me back to player 0 if I try to reload it to fix that.
When I start off with a small screen and make it larger, it refuses to stay in the corner.

edit: it does seem to update, finally, when a team dies

[Marmoth]

Ill check those problems. thx for report.

[zwzsg]

Please add:

Code: Select all

	if Spring.IsGUIHidden() then
		return
	end

Somewhere like at the beginning of DrawScreen, to not draw anything when I press F5.

Is the bug fixed where players names appear in white even though their colour is not white?

[lurker]

That wasn't a bug.

[Marmoth]

This was caused by the absence of outline font in the install package on some older versions. So, yes, it's fixed.

Nice stuff. Good job responding to all the bugs.

[Jazcash]

Hmm, could you make it so the players names are red when they haven't loaded, yellow when loaded but not ready and then green when loaded and ready like the current system that appears on the left?
This would mean we could get rid of the fugly old list on the left.

if someone else takes units, the /take reminder on this widget doesn't go away...

[beejayzed]

If you switch the player you're watching as spec using the number keys, the change is not reflected in the player list.

[Marmoth]

@ beejayzed

Afaik, there is no function (in lua) to determine what player is speced or if speced player changed. And without such a function, advplayerslist cannot determine when you change spec using a key.

- If anyone has a solution to that, please write it in this post. -

@ zwzsg

I added your code. It will come in the next version.

@ zell SF

The /take reminder should disappear in the next version when somebody else takes or the team has no more units.

@ JAZCASH

I would be glad to take the loading status into account as you propose, but again, afaik, there is no lua commands for that.

- If anyone has a solution to that, please write it in this post. -

@ Lurker

Do you still experience the bug you described? If so, can you give me more info? (i couldnt reproduce it in a replay game).

Thx all for report!

[Jools]

Thanks for good widget. I have however something to report.

In big games, say more than 5 vs 5, i think the ally and enemy list omits some players. Or is the widget size/font size somehow customisable?

[beejayzed]

@ beejayzed

Afaik, there is no function (in lua) to determine what player is speced or if speced player changed. And without such a function, advplayerslist cannot determine when you change spec using a key.

Perhaps create additional bindings in your widget for the relevant keys? I'm not sure if it's possible to determine which keys are bound to which function with lua, but maybe just assume the defaults?

[Marmoth]

@ Jools

If some players are omitted, this is a real problem. Can you provide me some more precise infos?

(Are there missing players since beginning? Are they disappearing? When? Does it happen when specing? watching replays? etc)

Thx for report and help.

For font, the problem is that i made a "white outline" font from the used font. And other fonts don't have this outline. Otherwise it would be possible to choose other fonts.
-------------------------------------
@ beejayzed

Binding keys is quite sensitive, i dont want to mess with player's choice. And detecting keystroke w/o binding keys is also possible, but then if the player customized his keys, it could end up with strange results. Perhaps i could try to detect the bindings but i am not that skilled at lua actually.

[Jools]

I will investigate and try to reproduce this issue again, I just have had some large games when I see a player and think:
├óÔé¼ÔÇ£ was he on my team?

I look at the widget and don't see that colour, neither amongst allies or enemies (specs are not visioble if i recall correctly). I think I have noted this twice or so, during large games. Nothing disappears, it's just that the widget continues down off-screen, and I presume the players are there. So it might be some stupid error on my part.

[Jazcash]

Ok, I downloaded latest Adv Players list and it's not spamming "gogo" whenever I enable ID's now but it's not displaying the correct ID's.

It just goes down in order: 1,2,3,4....
It's not displaying the correct ID's to what they should be according to the battle window.

[Marmoth]

Hi,

IDs displayed are team IDs and not player IDs. Those are the same as the ones displayed in the original player spring players' list.

If it is not the case, please tell me.

Ahhhhh, ok I see, it's cause I was in an FFA game the ID's appeared like that. Would it be possible for you to add a played ID option as well as a team ID option?
