Spring.GetWind

do u mean the current energy output made by a windmill (if yes look at iceui and windcheck ) or the windspeed (?)

That's the average guess at the game start. I want a widget which shows the windspeed all the through the game updating in time with the windmills.manolo_ wrote:do u mean the current energy output made by a windmill (if yes look at iceui and windcheck ) or the windspeed (?)

If it's worth doing it's worth overdoing.
name = "Wind Helper",
desc =
Shows wind info and when to build wind.
The next wind vector turning point displays the immediate wind forecast.
Forecast text tells the forecast from integrated winds.
(current economy and wind mean affects what to build but not the forecasts)
The next spring version will break this widget.

Very nice, I like it. Although, my GUI is chunked up already with stuff so I'd appreciate just the figure of current windspeed with maybe a pic of a windmill next to it to indicate what it is.
If you want to make it more cool an all, making it moveable, resizeable and recolourable would be awesome

If you dont want to clog the interface an option is to just group 1 windmill to somewhere like 8-0, then checking it is just 1 keypress away. And its easy to ctrl-z from there to see your overall windmill count which is useful too.

Of course it must be moveable, resizeable and recolourable, why didn't I think of that.

Again, a simple version with just the wind speed would be more fitting for me. Here, I even made an icon for you'z

cool.i often wished for this but imagined it too trivial to ask for.

Just add following code to any widget that doesn't have widget:DrawScreen() function.JAZCASH wrote:Again, a simple version with just the wind speed would be more fitting for me. Here, I even made an icon for you'z
Code: Select all
function widget:DrawScreen()
gl.Color(1,1,1,1)
gl.Texture('LuaUI/Images/Windmill.png')
gl.TexRect(100,100,111,111)
gl.Texture(false)
local _, _, _, wind = Spring.GetWind()
gl.Text(wind, 100, 100, 14, "ao")
end

Exactly what I wanted but with one decimal place instead of 13 or soPako wrote:Just add following code to any widget that doesn't have widget:DrawScreen() function.JAZCASH wrote:Again, a simple version with just the wind speed would be more fitting for me. Here, I even made an icon for you'z

Also, the windmill icon to the left of the text instead of above it would be epic winrar. Thanks for such win

I'm sure you can manage to adjust the locations yourself. To make it one decimal place, change the text line's 'wind' to 'string.format("%.1f",wind)'.

it is not going to BREAK anything, you just need to adjust your equation.

I'll see how the winds are blowing in few months from now and maybe fix then(I'm not sure how BA will accept so major change and developers aren't very sensitive for fixing things either).Spawn_Retard wrote: please fix it so it wont break!

Immediate wind forecast will be broken anyway because the wind change vector will be curved so the turning point would be too hard to detect.

Some graphical effects of wind would be nice. Like particles blowing into wind direction or maybe plasma blown by 0.009%.
