Green waves on startboxes make me seasick.

Seriously, worst UI interface change ever, the old boxes were much better, this just obscures the map and makes it hard to see where you should place your start (As well as inducing seizures in epileptics and seasickness in everyone else).

Maps are designed to be visible. There is no usability advantage to making the
entire map look awful while placing start boxes.

to confirm- without LUA there is now no startboxes.
the new lua startbox effect is so ugly it makes me want to gouge out my eyes with my monitor cable

Quick hack to make them look simple

Disable the default start box widget and enable this new one.

For those of you who don't like the waves, edit
your LuaUI/Widgets/minimap_startbox.lua and
remove these three lines:
Code: Select all
gl.Texture(texName)
gl.TexGen(GL.T, GL.TEXTURE_GEN_MODE, GL.EYE_LINEAR)
gl.TexGen(GL.T, GL.EYE_PLANE, (1 / texScale), 0, (1 / texScale), time % 1)
edit: basically what Regret's version does too

Still, i dont think this should be the default, its utterly ghastly.

Widget has been disabled by default
(someone should fix the engine startboxes).
And ... viewport start boxes are completely disabled.
