Brackman 2 years ago Range lines and lines that connect commands are so thin that they're hard to see if the map has a similar color. Can we make them thicker? +3 / -0
GoogleFrog 2 years ago Maybe this is something cmdcolors.txt can do. Or perhaps this is an engine feature request. Defenses ranges are drawn by a widget, so that is a PR. +1 / -0
Amnykon 2 years ago I think all these lines are widgets. It would be an easy fix to make a settings for line width. I believe some of them have a transparency setting, but that is the opposite direction. The feature I want in this is context aware line width/alpha. If I have a air unit selected, the opponent’s AA lines should be more visible. The orders of my selected units should be more visible then my team’s orders. +1 / -0
Brackman 2 years ago I changed the widgets "Defense Range Zero-K" and "Show selected unit range" to have a thicker linewidth of 3 for defense ranges and selected units. 3 seems to be a good thickness for everything. I hereby publish those changed versions under the terms of GNU GPL v2. The following linewidths are unaffected by this: Constructors' build ranges, range preview when placing buildings, missile ranges, lines that connect commands. The recent antinuke line width increase to 5 is considered. Should I make PRs for such changes in the future? It just seemed to be faster this way and I wouldn't be sure if the PRs would be accepted. To use a custom version of a default widget, do the following: [Spoiler] Put its .lua file in the folder "Zero-K\LuaUI\Widgets". Start a battle. Deactivate the custom widget at the top of the widget menu, in this case "Defense Range Zero-K 2" or "Show selected unit range 2". Navigate to the default widget's options in the F10 menu, in this case "Settings/Interface/Defence and Cloak Ranges". Remember the settings there. Deactivate the default widget in the widget menu. Activate the custom widget at the top of the widget menu. Set your remembered settings in the custom widget's options in the F10 menu. Now you should have thicker lines with the same settings as before. +1 / -0
rollmops 2 years ago I'm working in similar direction and found useful to assign a hotkey to temporarily (while it's pressed) make specific lines thicker, e.g.: if spGetPressedKeys()[spGetKeyCode("f5")] then glLineWidth(5) else glLineWidth(1) end <draw something> +0 / -0
