Spring RTS Engine

Answer to both questions is: you need to play CA.

one suggestion:

IceUI options > control panel > enable select through

Code: Select all

Code: Select all

local volume = Spring.GetConfigInt("snd_volmaster", 60)

I had to change to snd_volmaster in the add_command function too.

Fixed volume.lua in attachment

thx, thats what i searched for :)

Go to the options window (ctrl+f11 or through the menu) and select the Colors tab. The tabs are hidden behind the header. I know, that needs some improvement.

That's Satiriks code and I'm not really familiar with it. Seems to work fine for most people though. Maybe post your profile so I can check if anything is wrong with it?

["Window Positions"]["Player Info"].size[2] :D

el_matarife wrote:I've also noticed the "builds in progress" window keeps turning back on no matter how many times I've turned it off.

Yeah, that has been reported quite a few times. Just delete the file in the IceUI directory as a workaround for now.

The detailed models are for example in CA or XTA. The effect is the Outline widget and another one. Didn't use them in ages though, so you gotta search for yourself. :)

jorenm wrote:Also, is it possible to replace the various command buttons \ borders with better looking images? If it is, how?

I think you can replace them using some Lua but I don't think there is a "enduser-friendly" way to do it.

Thx. :)

I found the outline widget, and that looks pretty good. It's definitely not the same as the one in the screenie though.

Alright, thanks.

Sorry if this has been asked, but do you plan to make this compatible with the MT version of spring? Is that a mammoth task that will require a major rewrite?

works with the MT version here (spams gml error, dunno if they are IceUI ones tough)

Yes, it's Ice UI causing the GML errors in the MT version. It would be nice if this could be fixed, I'm having to use 'Separate System Messages' atm which means I can finally read the chat but I can't see any system apart from the constant GML errors

Yeah, I should fix that. IceUI is creating display lists in the simulation thread. I'll just stop using them and everything should be fine.

I haven't tested the MT version in a while but it used to hang quite a lot when using loads of widgets. After posting a few memory dumps most hangs were fixed but last time I tried it, it was still too unstable to get through a game with it. What are your experiences?

It's working fine for me, I haven't seen any changes for the worse yet. However, my CPU was displaying 100% in a SM games yesterday but I was getting 126 FPS when usually I get about 1

Hey Satirik while you're here mind uploading the latest version of your fork? I can't find it anywhere and I want a clean copy if I reinstall. Also, do you mind taking a look at my "rollup" window bug?

To whoever is deving IceUI:
Could you please make the second info row in playerslist toggleable?
I know its cool to see your allies pings AND resources at the same time, but the shit either occupies too much space, or is impossible to read.
Also, it seems like the basic playerlist is the only playerlist that is able to display players with whom you have ceasefire. (It displays them as E+). Would be great if IceUI's playerlist had some form of indication for ceasefired players too.

Have you tried replacing it with Advanced Player List?

I'm guessing you mean the second column and that is not from the one deving IceUI (me) but from Satirik.

I agree that quite a lot of IceUI is outdated and I have a lot of nice ideas to improve it. Unfortunately I don't have any time atm. I didn't think about ceasefire stuff as of yet so thanks for that suggestion. :)

iceui>RL

I must concur. can i just say right now that meltrax is a BLOODY CHAMP

Nevermind Meltrax, IceUI is still a very good and the best UI so far.

+1.. I use MT build now, works fine (but not with all widgets like iceui and lups).
I have to use lolui now.. but i like ice better :)
