Lups is used for in-game special effects like glowing fusion reactors.

Custom formations lets you rclick-draw curved lines that units will move to, instead of straight lines.

Build ETA gives you small numbers under constructions telling uyou how long till ready.

Stockpiler adds stockpile-orders to anti-nukes automatically when built.

MetalMakers automatically turns on/off your metal makers.

FactoryGuard auto-assigns newly built con-units to guard the factory.

Transporting lets transports work better.

Prospector tells you how much a metal extractor will get you.

Attack AOE shows the area-of-effect when you issue an attack-ground command. Iirc, there's some way to get it to show building explosion radii.

I'm guessing Units on Fire is a CA widget that makes units glow when they're on fire (or another game that includes units that are on fire).

Dunno about the rest.

Relative minimap just changes the size/aspect ratio of minimap iirc.

Teleport GUI i think is similar to jumpjet gui where it shows the path and max range of teleporting unit.

Its in The Cursed. It works almost the same as jumping units, except they can go through walls and stuff.
