Spring RTS Engine

If you reload LuaUI it improves remarkably. I just bound it to a hot key and hit it after starting each game.

Does right click on energy bar control regular metalmaker widget?

Also, will you be adding a way to see what that's set at?

any chance IceUI will run faster in the next ver of Spring? I'd love to use it but just can't afford a 2-3 FPS hit let alone 20, when it drops to single digits in large games every bit of speed is needed.. and without any weird workarounds like tabbing out and in.

Also use quantum's FPS manager.

ZellSF, that's what it should do.. I'm not sure though if it ever worked (my side should at least)..

But that will probably be dropped because trepan and I agreed on an options format that will hopefully be adopted by all widgets and can then be set in IceUI (or any other widget that implements the options handler)..

Other than that I just wanted to say that IceUI should work with the current SVN builds and the next release now..

I tried playing the SVN version some and I can't seem to issue order via the minimap, sort of annoying.

that's an engine bug

Uh? The default minimap just works fine, just as the LuaUI minimap redirection widget things works just fine.

Thanks for your and LordMatts bug reports..

I fixed all problems with 0.76b1 that I could find in an hour .. If you find anything else, please let me know..

Uh, that update screwed up things pretty badly here, so much that I needed to do a clean reinstall. No idea why though.

Edit: ah, found it, disallow helper AIs is not an option you should enable.

Is there a reason windows can't be placed at the top of the screen? Currently if I edit current.lua to say Then the energy bar ends up one pixel from the top, negative values doesn't seem to be accepted.

Maybe you disabled the borders or something? Or maybe it's because borders are blurred atm with anti aliasing enabled.

Negative values mean "from the bottom" so -1 makes it _start_ at the bottom most pixel..

oh, right, I disabled borders because IceUI window borders aren't perfectly square. why aren't they

After changing that, there's still a 1 pixel border at the top and left of the minimap though.

Hmm.. Can you post a screenshot of those borders? Do you have anti-aliasing enabled?

Maybe you changed the border color of the minimap too.. It doesn't inherit the general border color anymore then..

Oh right, that's me being stupid, I do have it set to be transparent, like all windows, I just forgot that that would end up looking stupid on the minimap.

When are you going to release a version for 0.76b1? I can't find it.

Use the updater in IceUI/Accessories

Whenever I try to use IceUI nowadays I get :

Loading: LuaUI\Widgets\gui_IceUI.lua
false
Error in Initialize(): [string "-------------------------------------------..."]:153: attempt to compare nil with number
Removed widget: IceUI

Thats with the latest version, fresh updated.

Thanks for reporting..

Should be fixed now. Please test :).

Hmm, well that one seems to be fixed. But now I get:

Loading: LuaUI\Widgets\gui_IceUI.lua
Sorting roster by Allies
false
Error in Initialize(): [string "local groupDescs = {..."]:180: attempt to concatenate field 'author' (a nil value)
Removed widget: IceUI
