This overlay system is awesome, but I think it would work better as a program instead of a map so that it can be used with any map. I don't know if that's possible though since it would have to gather information from the game. This isn't possible. In order to gather the data you need a custom map anyways. We decided on implementing it entirely in game (instead of as a plugin for xsplit or something) so that observers see the same things the audience does.
Funny you should mention that caneras cos that was our original idea, but we decided to build things into the map to reduce latency/other concerns.
Being able to display outside information is easy enough, however you get limited as to "how" unless you write a custom XSplit flash plugin, and they are... less than optimal.

Hooray, you guys finally announced this!
I hope everyone gets excited and that this goes somewhere cool.

This is really awesome. However there's one thing missing, I'd really like to also be able to see how many kills each unit did. Since many casters will look at the unit and will be like: Oh wow, this immortal has killed over 40 units in that battle. Or: This banshee is doing incredible harassment, it's killed about 20 units already.
Maybe by introducting a very small unit info ui near the minimap can help this. It could include some very basic information like hitpoints, kills, unit type, unit name and maybe even a small version of the unit's portrait.

It's a good idea Adonminus but right now there doesn't appear to be a way to target observers specifically. Meaning, I can't show one observer one thing, and another observer another thing. While the idea would work fine with a single observer, if there were two or more it would become a problem as they select multiple units.
That said, it is still possible to check this information by switching to the player's perspective and selecting the unit.

This is pretty legit good idea. Maybe Blizzard will take some of the ideas and implement it in their own UI.
|
really nice , it get my seal of approva=)
|
The best part is since it is a custom map and Most major lans use their own named custom map it shouldn't be hard for these guys to set up their overlay for specific tournament map pools. This UI is fucking amazing. I was literally blown away watching the youtube video. You guys did a suburb job if MLG/IPL/GSL/DH/WCS/WCG/TSL Jump on this fast they will be left in the dust by those who do start incorporating something much for spectator friendly and much better to learn off watching without needing a replay.

Freaking awesome stuff! Blizzard build this into the game pls!
|
|
|
I think the green text is a bit too dark on the LQ I viewed it on on youtube, otherwise, good job!
|
Suggestion: Add a way to add overall series score directly ingame.
EDIT: Woops should have watched the video, you're one step ahead of me!

This is really great, looks somewhat like the one from Dota 2. Which is really great! A lot easier to know what's going on etc!
I hope one day that Blizzard appreciates all of our great fans who know what the community's want, And they implement user created stuff.

Incredible stuff. Reminds me of watching dota 2.
|
I dont like that you cant see the attacks and pictures

to the creators, your job is beautiful.

I actually like this a lot, but two things that really bug me:
1. The silver things around the map really, really bugs me. Get rid of it or change it. It really doesn't look right, and can look a ton better.
2. The color of the gas font is a pretty dark-ish green. Maybe a slight brighter green so it's a little bit easier to read (stands out more.) Maybe it's just my crappy eyes i don't know, just seems a little dark to me.
Other than those two things i love the progress y'all have made. Looking good so far

Whoa, this is freakin' awesome. You should just think about adding a panel to see the keybinds of a player, for example after having his units selected and clicking alt+shift or some other hotkey.
|
I would love it if you could show both the unit tab and production tab. And do it so it looks good and doesn't take up too much space.
