Not a PR because I'm not sure we want this, but if anyone does:

File: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jklw/Zero-K/a8ae5cb3e810c897d5d97fee04279ef6d848174a/LuaUI/Widgets/gui_chili_share.lua

(Drop in zero-k/LuaUI/Widgets)

Diff: https://github.com/jklw/Zero-K/commit/a8ae5cb3e810c897d5d97fee04279ef6d848174a

Note that this overrides the built-in widget, so you will not automatically get updates to the built-in version while the file exists.

It does not show the rating for specs who joined after the game started; that would require cooperation from zk-Infrastructure AIUI.

Edit: One use case other than making one feel bad about their skill is to better comprehend wth the Balancer was thinking.

I suppose you could PR it with an option? I don't recall the stance on ingame WHR precision though. If the server doesn't want people to know exact values then it probably shouldn't send them.

Cool, although the balancer is still likely to give confusing outcomes due to the conflicts of interests of trying to have:
  • an accurate rating
  • an understandable/smooth rating
  • a rating that is "forgiving" to newbies
  • similar rating variance among all teams

Since this is now merged and released with the latest ZK version, I recommend deleting this file; otherwise you won't get updates to the player list window in future ZK versions.
