Battle Endd Screen

someone knows how easy it is to implement although i bet a long list of things to do must be some-place waiting to be done still...

BUG:

after watching a replay since all the players on a team have same colour the graph lines and names all turn same colour and i cant tell who owns what line on final graph

That information is sitting somewhere and it would be great to replace the current graphs with some more relevant ones. But nobody has done it, it could be a good self contained task for someone new.

So far as I can see, the widget which draws the end screen:

https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/blob/33f993f9a25cbdaf5624a1309a8ff1ed7639b540/LuaUI/Widgets/gui_chili_endgraph.lua

gets its statistics from a call to Spring.GetTeamStatsHistory, which can be found here:

https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/2d04655a59405bb5f54eb3d6795cf754763c45ea/rts/Lua/LuaSyncedRead.cpp

The latter does not report quantity of metal reclaimed, so this change is not trivial to make so far as I can see. Might well be possible, but you would probably have to either make a change Spring-side or write a hack ZK-side.

EDIT: Looking at this definition

https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/036b798fefe0e4a3bc82be8ecb8aa8806a6a9263/rts/Sim/Misc/TeamStatistics.cpp

it appears that Spring fundamentally doesn't record quantity of metal reclaimed, at least not in this way. I wonder how the reclaim award actually works, might be a clue.

EDIT 2: Wow OK. If I'm reading this right:

https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/blob/33f993f9a25cbdaf5624a1309a8ff1ed7639b540/LuaRules/Gadgets/awards.lua

the reclaim award works by checking every feature (wreck, rock, tree, whatever) in the game and asking it how much metal was reclaimed from it. That doesn't seem useful for graphing.

I fully agree that the graphs at present could use improving and a metal reclaimed graph would be neat, but it might not be easy to accomplish.
