Advanced Players List widget

[Marmoth]

Version 8.0 is out.

Better design.
Some bug fixes (images transparency).
Bit of code cleanup (its not very pleasant yet tough).

Hope you will like it.

Please post any report/suggestion/impression in this thread!

Ooops, thx. This should be ok now (it was the new version already, but with wrong header...).

Do you have somethin' like a screenshot? :)

Would be nice :-p

I like 8.0 version very much!

[Marmoth]

I would have loved to make a screenshot, but my computer only saves pure black images . I would be happy if someone could make one and post it...

[jamerlan]

looks like it has hardcoded unit limit of 32 players (and specs). When we have 8vs8 players and 25 specs - it renders player list incorrectly.

I am trying to fix that but code is full of magic constants like 31, 32, 64.. so I can add some errors too))

maybe there is a better person who can fix it? Marmoth? are you here? You are the best person who can fix that.

Probably you cannot take a screenshot with your normal program, because 3D is rendered directly to your gfx cards output. So your desktop programs never see the content. You can use springs built-in however :) It's F11... or somewhere near there... (F9-F12). The pictures will be stored in SPRING_DATADIR/screenshots.

Does this new version retain some fix to be compatible with commander change widgets? In ba and xta, you can change commander in-game, so the list needs to know that can happen.

I made 8.1 version. I will test it more, and if no bugs will be appeared - will include in next BA version: https://github.com/pakolainen/Player_wi ... rslist.lua

[Jools]

But there is already 8.2 version: http://code.google.com/p/xta-springrts/ ... rslist.lua

Maybe I shouldn't have done that.

@Jools: as far as I can see the change you made is to make advplayerlist work with the xta spawn gadgets?

@Decay: Thanks! I've done something similar to your 8.1 version and also made AdvPlayerList display spectators in a small font without the unnecesary icons. http://imolarpg.dyndns.org/trac/balatest/changeset/1092.

Hi all!

I am happy to see that advplayerslist is still in use and that you decided to work on it!

I first have to apologize for the poor coding style i used: i was a real amateur at the time i coded this. Looking at my own code now hurts my eyes...

The design of the widget seems to have been well received by the players and that pleases me a lot.

See you soon on the battlefield.

As for me - this widget is the best player list widget. Especially I like sharing using sliders and double click.

We have a few ideas how to improve it further:

Believe me, it hurt mine too - I think I'm the only person who has ever done any serious work on it. I cleaned it up a lot and stopped it guzzling cycles every frame: http://imolarpg.dyndns.org/trac/balates ... rslist.lua. You can flick through the revisions to see what else.

Yes!
