Spring RTS Engine

This is a great widget. If only you didn't limit me to one axis of movement. Why why why? I still must use Satirik's playerlist in IceUI (which also shows everyone's resource bars).

Could you add a button to toggle ingame pm mode with a player?

Hi, I'd like to suggest these 2 changes:

first option is ok, second one is not (author commented /info for a reason, which is that it sux to show /info on widget shutdown). Now i have to commend it out manually from 5.22, as it is back in. Please comment it out in new ver.

Please please please please put the player ID numbers on. I need them for allying with Babbles XD. Did I mention please?

It's much more newbie friendly to have at least the /info show if you turn off this widget in my opinion.

Hello,

Working on the advplayerslist again. Can someone tell me who made the 5.22 version. I am very happy that somebody worked on advanced players list, but i would like to be informed of its evolution.

Thx!

It was me, but absolutely no offense intended. I just tried to make the take-command working and pasted chojin's suggestions because they looked ok for me. It is still 100% yours.

Maybe I can invite you this way to get an admin-account for SpringDownloader's Widget manager so you would be able to update your widgets in the database by yourself at any time?

As i said, its not a problem for me if somebody updates my advanced players list. Thx for your fix.

I would be very pleased to have access to the widget manager so that i can update my widget easily. Perhaps that i will need some help to get it work.

Marmoth, can you please tell me how to make outlining have a color bias?

Basically, outline is made with a set of character (white and only borders). If you want to put a special color, just set a color other than 1,1,1 before it is drawn.

Hi,

I would be glad to add such an option in the advanced players list, but i am not sure how to do it if it is possible.

I tried to look in the "documentation" and asked ppl on the lobby, but didn't find a adapted solution. I had 2 ideas : the first was to open a chat input already filled with "/w <name>". But i only found commands that send the message instantly. The second was to toggle the chat to "whisper to somebody", but it seems that there is no such mode in the engine. At least, writing once with "/w <name>" at start doesn't turn it on (it would have been the easiest way to do it: send one empty message).

If you have a solution or simply more information, please let me know.

Bye!

What I'm asking for isn't that, I want for example, nicknames with more blue in them outlined quicker than nicknames with more green in them...

Have you tried using the paste command to bring it in off of the clipboard? A hack yes, but it might work.

Edit: Lua doesn't seem to be able to access the clipboard itself. I'll make some calls to edit the console text.

to Zell:

For now i used a very simple formula: i additioned the three color, if total is more than 0.9 (max = 3) then there is an outline. If you have a better formula, just send it to me and i will put it in the code.

in some games u have a lot of specs, so the list is very long, could implement a button that hides the specs?

Are you intrested in including the /ally command into this Widget?
Like some extra picture that indicates who has an ally with you and who you have an ally with and a button to create new / delete existing onces.

And also the ingame-PM-Function, that opens a chat with "/w playername" when you klick on the nickname in the list.

Would be very nice for FFA-Games without fixed ingame-allies

You should add some indicator of wheter two allyteams are allied or not.

Maybe the version I got from jobjol was outdated, (in which case please link me to the newest), but it used .take instead of /take

I also made three little icons for KP factions.

Some player names in the last appear in white even if their team color is not white. It probably happens when the teamcolor is quite dark.

Sometimes it is hard to figure out the correct color of a teammate. Is there an updated version of this widget or is there a workaround?
