Spectator Overlay Wish-list

[_PkZ_]

This is a wish-list for Spectator overlay (Voobly mod). I had to make this thread because i lost track of the requests posted in multiple forums.

Please follow this rule when posting: Only one single line (can be a few) that ONLY describe the request. No discussion about anything else. That way i can go through the list and cross out when done or refused.

Thank you

show upgrade cost of units somehow in techtree/spec overlay

Edit: @100Dragonstar PM me where you want that displayed. An SS of an example would be nice.

 

[kw1k000000]

show black smith upgrades with an easy on off toggle

 

[philipp94831]

Show number of TCs

@philipp94831 : Not possible. I will look into display TC BUILT.

 

[philipp94831]

Show sum of stats per team

 

[Tuang]

Show stats for self. Not sure some people might call it cheating but it would be useful for practicing.
Option to be able to choose stats the user wants.

@Tuang: Voobly specoverlay api doesnt allow this. It only works when spectating on voobly.

 

[HJFE]

APM stats would be fantastic.

 

[dooog]

To be able to see the number of Navy units instead of counting as overall military. Much like the way fishing ships are in a separate category to villagers

 

[nimanoe]

some bugfixes:
idle fishingships are counted as villagers
it doesn't show the right amount of stone sold/bought (typically showing around 10-20x the real amount)

@nimanoe: Thats what the API returns. I think its multiple by 100. Will look into it though.

No tradecarts in dark age, i always try to make market in BF in darkage aswell

 

[addstrike]

I agree with philip, a row that accumulates a teams stats would make it far easier to get an overview of how the teams are doing.

Thank you for a great tool and the openness to take input on it!

 

[philipp94831]

Show eco upgrades

 

[andae23]

Option to only see upgrades/table from one player (for spectating from player's POV)

 

[StriderHiryu]

These two in my mind are essential.

• Add another column for Town Centres.
• Add another column for Economy bonuses with None / HC / WB denoting Handcart and Wheelbarrow.
  

The following would be nice to have:

• Ballistics / Chemistry as another column
• Fletching / Bodkin Arrow / Bracer as another column under "Range" and have one of F / Bo / Br as displays.
• Forging / Iron Casting / Blast Furnace as another column under "Melee" and have one of F / I / B as displays.
• Scale Mail / Chain Mail / Plate Mail as another column under "Cavalry" and have one of S / C / P as displays. if a player also has Bloodlines it's added in the same column, so in Feudal it might say S + BL

i think something that is crucial in the ratio kill death K/D that you add after the number from D (deatch) a number in (-) that say how many of those death are vills, is very important to know, cuz is not same to kill 20 units if they are skirms, but 10 if those are 8 vills

@MembTV : Spectator Overlay does not have access to that info. Only total D/K are available for now.

i think something that is crucial in the ratio kill death K/D that you add after the number from D (deatch) a number in (-) that say how many of those death are vills,

and how many died by friendly fire and how many by boars and wolves

I'm seeing some requests for showing blacksmith/eco upgrades. Would it be possible to have something like the Tech Tree UI mod for HD but it would show (or maybe ungray out) techs as they are researched? Seems like good use of the bar there since we have wider screens these days and have space to spare next to the minimap.

@willworkforicecream : Spectator Overlay API are unable to draw outside the actual game-area. That mean the bottom can not be used.

 

[T-West]

Disable the tool tips in the bottom left of the screen while spectating (e.g. if a spectator hovers their mouse cursor over the mini-map, the bottom left of the screen displays a "Mini-map" tool tip---this text can make the bottom row of the spectator overlay difficult to read).

This feature might be more appropriate as a separate mod, but it could be nice to have the tool tips removed only when spectating and not when playing.

 

[HJFE]

In SC2 spectator display they can show what upgrades have been made. If we can get something similar for AOE II that shows upgrades made by a specific player.

show black smith upgrades with an easy on off toggle

+1 This.

 

[robo]

When looking at the eco comparison graph (Ctrl + Shift + D) for team games, can the vil count take away the trade count?

At the moment it displays something like team vil count 300, trade count 100, when actually its 200 vils and 100 trade. This is simple to work out if you think about it a little bit, but for new users/stream watchers it might be confusing.

@robo: Implemented and will be fixed in next release.

 

[Holleridudodel]

I'd like to have a panel that shows the amount of some specific buildings been built, similiar to the castles count.
e.g. number of tcs
On water maps it might be nice to be able to see the number of docks, on land maps it might come handy to have an overview of the military buildings. To see in one look who is going for one, who for two stables and so on... Who is lacking production buildings and so on...
On maps with a lot of shore fish like bedouins, or rehydration it would be nice to see number of mills for example aswell.

 

[Hades85]

Idle time as sum of each worker and fishship would be great.

 

[VerlocVerlocVerloc]

First post in aoezone here. I would like to see:

1) villager-only K/D (enemy villagers killed/ one's own villager's killed) broken down by age

2) "resource production rate" broken down down by type of resource. This would differ from resource collection totals, by showing an estimate of total eco. formula might be (# of gold miners x gold mining upgrades x eco upgrades) + (# of lumberjacks x lumber upgrades x eco upgrades) + ... etc . This would not account for long distance mining, but it could give a decent idea of economy, with more nuance than simply "number of vills total"

Any way to export real time data to be consumed in another program? Similar to what happyleaves did with the browser information, that he consumed there using a web service.

UI options that aoe engine offers are very limited, so want to build something more good looking

Note: I can help if needed

 

[green eggs]

Idle rate (total idle time as a percentage of overall villager/fishing ship lifetime).
