Hello, I'm working on adding a new persistent display to War3Source, using the right-hand hint display (only used by the 'GameMe' plugin, as far as I know) but I need to know what you guys want to see on it! I currently am thinking of having it display Racename, level, experience / experience required, then a list of skill names for the race, along with levels for the skills (basically a cut-down raceinfo) what suggestions do you have?

Addendum: I'm not sure what the character maximum for this is, we'll have to see.

I'm going to make my current display read off of a command, so that I'll be able to test things more easily, I'll get back to you after that.

second one is better. its left justified but the right most letter is a set amount from the border?

Funny that you'd mention it! When I passed the idea of a Mana System to Revan, we brainstormed some ideas as to where the text should be displayed. That menu came up, but then didn't go with it. The reason I dislike that menu is because it takes up my space - that's fine when all your players merely care about doing funky stuff, but not when they're so stuck-up and believe they're pros that all screen space must be theirs..

But I'd be very happy about that menu. Not for race information, as I consider playerinfo to be sufficient, but for SOME replacement of the HintEngine.. Been running into problems with the Engine, as my strings get drowned in other strings by other plugins. ) And PrintToChat is too permanent, PrintToConsole is too complicated to check up on (you know, press escape, can't play), and PrintCenterText just seems to.. AGGRESSIVE.

So, in conclusion: looking forward to seeing your work. :-)

PS: Besides, I couldn't get a look at the GameMe code because I never paid for it and I didn't know what that screen space was referred to :d

PPS: I'M STILL DEVASTATED THAT HUDS AREN'T AS NICELY IMPLEMENTED IN CSS AS THEY ARE IN TF2. (Glider will probably say that L4D2 has even better stuff, but I really hate that game lol.)

I like the way how the l4d2 xp mod handles this

looky here and cool stuff like this.

Too bad that you need to use the bullshit flawed vpk system to distribute stuff like this.

Giving the option to the client to enable/disable this would be great I can see it being a little annoying to some players.
