I think bright colors for units is almost a must. I love when you can find easily each individual unit from the map. | ||

One thing I noticed is if the player is yellow then the player's name is really hard to read = white on yellow. Imo a contrast color should be picked in that case like black. Also would it be possible to have a toggle show/hide for the time + time progress(=spoiler free reps)? | ||

With the revival of the BW scene thanks to the ASL, this could not arrive at a better time. We need people to start playing that game again. I can't play it regularly due to not having windows. Also BW needs some open source clone really bad, it's been so long now and it needs so much updating. I will contribute to the project as soon as I start learning C++ (next year) :D | ||

Hey LastWish you have been granted (what a pun :p ) player names are now always white on dark grey with color in front. to show/hide progress bar press 'n'. the time shouldn't be a problem, right? (since it doesn't show how long the replay is). | ||

Looking so forward to the next updates, very exciting!! :D We are still very active, but mostly working on less visible features (BW AI IDE module and BWAPI port, for example). In the meantime, have a look at the new graph feature in the replay viewer: ![[image loading]](http://www.openbw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/info_graph.png) Press '5' to show/hide the graph. You can also click on the legend items to show/hide individual data lines. Edit: updated image. | ||

Keep up your good work, I think I prefer OpenBW>BW:R for its easy web-browser interface, infinite selection, large screen size, and forward-thinking compatibility with bots  | ||

We are also happy that OpenBW users will be able to use the original graphics for free, even though we're not sure yet if we are allowed to host any of the original data (just because it's free doesn't mean we're allowed to distribute it). From the perspective of the bot developer community we wonder if we can use the programming interface with the new remastered version. Although, as long as the remastered version is fully compatible with the original version on patch 1.18 this is not critical. Furthermore, it would be very beneficial if 1.16.1 replays could still be used for machine learning. Else we have to start collecting replays from scratch. Since the game play will remain the same apart from bug fixes, that should be the case. The fact that the interface has remained stable for so long has been a huge advantage for bot developers. Hopefully we won't enter a new patch cycle. We might have to support multiple versions (1.16.1 and 1.18) for the replay viewer, which creates some additional work. The focus of OpenBW will shift away a bit from BW HD towards the other modules. All in all we're optimistic that it turns out to be great news! | ||

As long artists contribute models the BW HD module lives on. I'm sure they want to see 'R' in action before they decide on how to proceed. From the core / project side everything is set up such that artists can contribute independently. That is, the required functionality to get higher-quality sprites into the game already exists. So whenever somebody finishes a unit model he can just include it in the game by uploading it to a ftp server. | ||

Btw, do you think it could be possible to post pictures of your under development BW HD units? You showed some sneak peek and it would be nice to see what else you had! | ||

Btw, do you think it could be possible to post pictures of your under development BW HD units? You showed some sneak peek and it would be nice to see what else you had! I have some Zerg stuff in-progress I'll post. I love about 90% of the Remaster, I'm really happy with their decision to preserve all the old units' silhouettes instead of trying to modernize them or swap in the SC2 zergling or anything. There are some areas where I think there could be some improvement with lighting/shininess, but like I said I'm very, very happy with the direction they went. Here was my not-yet-textured Queen's Nest model. With some bump/sculpted normal maps, I think it would've turned out very well: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/HmYz9or.jpg) And the remaster's version (not mine): ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/sQ8DtQE.png) I'm also doing an extra-detailed job on the original Zergling, just because it's one of my favorites. ![[image loading]](http://orig04.deviantart.net/d5ad/f/2017/089/5/a/brood_war_zergling_wip_by_xiaorobear-db42x9z.jpg) And I have a half-finished Hydralisk around too, a bit of a dragoon, dropship, an ultralisk, etc. Mostly just other models, as I was going to follow more of Quuad's lighting/texturing pipeline and revisit the muta and valkyrie I did at the start to go for a cohesive look. Quuad's stuff is more impressive (I still think his buildings look better than the Remaster's!), but I'll leave what he has to him. I wasn't planning on having this much detail on the Zergling before the Remaster trailer dropped, but now I'm definitely going to finish it and try making some sprites from it just to see how I can stack up, now that I've seen their level of quality. Also it looks like they redesigned the zergling portrait head with a new look, which is also very cool and very zerg, but just doesn't look as faithful to the original as some of the other designs. So with my model I've gotta keep the old portrait alive, hah. They also redesigned the hydralisk sprite quite a bit (though the new portrait looks awesome), so I'll probably also finish my hydralisk again just to compare. | ||
