Spring RTS Engine

I was wondering what widgets other people use, apart from standard BA widgets.

I currently use the following widgets:

-Obdient Constructors v4:
If cons get a order after guard, the guard is cancelled.

-Protective Guard:
Makes units that guard another unit stand in front and (if enough guards) around the unit thats being guarded.

-Set Target Default:
Name says it all.

-Spy Emp and Decloak Range v2:
Shows those ranges for the spy, similar to the comblast widget. Really useful if u use spys alot for emp.

Useful key commands:

ALT: Insert unit at front of factory build queue

Space - inserts command at front of command chain - good for having ur cons build a few LLT without canceling build queue

Ctrl-move: units move at speed of slowest unit in the group


Also, does anyone know a widget that will auto-add new units to a group?
i.e. I'm building Rockos (group 1), Peewees (group 2), Fleas (group 1) and Rezbots (group 3).
Ideally a widget would auto-add new flea/rocko to group1, peewee to group2, etc.

Go to http://widgets.springrts.de/ and look for "Auto Group" : assigns by ALT+num unit-types to groups. Very useful

That site is not really up to date anymore. I think best place to get widgets is the appropriate part of the forum or springfiles.

Now that you mention it....

Pretty sure this widget is by now part of BA.

cmd_protective_guard
gui_blastRadius
gui_commanderwarning_gui
gui_IceUI
gui_unit_stats
gui_windDisplay
radar_range
spy_range
unit_auto_group2.lua
unit_crawling_bomb_range
unit_transporter_2

But some might be double with now included widgets.

The only extra widgets I use are

gui_wind_helper
NoAltMouseWheel
NoshiftMouseWheel
unit_cloakfirestate

This is actually pretty handy as a list of possible widgets/ideas for the future. Thanks all :)

All that I use besides the default widgets are cmd_fac_holdposition and cmd_state_remover.

I just use a widget that displays the real world clock, sometimes the ecostats widget, and a widget that disables the nag text when you press escape (I use it for unselecting units and cancelling commands).

I use these:

gui_ba_ally_cursors.lua
gui_enemy_spotter.lua
gui_hilight_selectedunits.lua
gui_idle_builders_new.lua
radar_range.lua

unit_auto_group_com.lua (auto groups commander to group 3 on game start)
unit_cloacked_popups.lua (I saw that xanax using similar widget and I created this one)
unit_jammer_ranges.lua (I like to know which exactly areas are covered)

unit_air_allways_fly.lua
unit_showbuild.lua
unit_crawling_bomb_range.lua
spy_range.lua
gui_mobile_anti_defence_range.lua
unit_obedient_constructors.lua
