Up !

With the package, Is there a conflict between 2 LUA scripts ?
I got no more names displayed under Specs / Team allies (Already checked out CRTL+F11).
Reloading the widget will fix it but not for long.

Did some of you tested / tried this package ?

No conflicts. Some widgets like "Adv player list mod" and "Adv player list" - are just alternatives to each other. Just disable one.

I got no more names displayed under Specs / Team allies (Already checked out CRTL+F11).

Are you talking about "AdvPlayersList mod" widget? If yes - then click on "Specs" line.
"Spectators label: click to unfold/fold. (leave folded when playing, so you don't accidently share units to wrong person)"

I promote everyone to use this "AdvPlayersList mod" widget. Its awesome! Details here: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=32952

Hi Jamerian,

Sorry by

Code: Select all

I got no more names displayed under Specs / Team allies (Already checked out CRTL+F11).

I was not precise.

I mean the gui_ba_ally_cursors.lua doesn't work anymore with the packagezip here.
I've removed all to put it back alone, picked from Floris' forum page.
I compared Floris' script and package gui_ba_ally_cursors.lua script and both are exactly the same.

Do you see names correctly under each mouse ? and on each games ?
Sometimes when I reload widget it works, but not sure it still works on next game(s).

[jamerlan]

This widget shows name tags when you are zoomed in. I can guess that you are zoomed out too much to see them

[FabriceFABS]

Well, I redo from scratch the installation of the zip archives.
I don't know now why, but everything works well since 2 or 3 games...

And for your information, mouse's name owner (spec and players) are always displayed, even if we are zomming in/out.

Thank you for the try...
FABS

For me it disappears when I zoom out too much. Probably I have a different version then... sorry :-)

[FabriceFABS]

Np that's ok !

[jamerlan]

Updated "Passive builders" widget to exclude "Commando" from "passive builders. It will allow him to build mines faster.
I am not going to update "widgets pack" in the nearest future. So just posting a link to updated widget here: https://github.com/SpringWidgets/passiv ... ses/tag/v3

[jamerlan]

Most of these widgets are UPDATED and INCLUDED in BA 9.00!! Please remove these custom widgets from your Widgets folder!

And here we have exactly the reason why widgets in userland are an awful idea.

And here we have exactly the reason why widgets in userland are an awful idea.

these widgets in user land helped to find bugs/fix them and gather feedback/ideas. BA have 2 more maintainers because of the userland widgets

[Silentwings]

Some of these widgets would never have existed, and most would never have received recent attention, without the ability to have userland widgets - because I wasn't willing to clean/maintain them so I wasn't able to add them to BA. Userland widgets have a useful role in cases where the development community and the player base are not fully separated.

Also, if a game doesn't want them, its a one line code change to not have them...

Now that I think of it, its not that difficult to add a button to the widget selector/handler that deletes any duplicated userland widgets.

In any case, "old/outdated" -> Locked.
