Maybe you could make it possible to show how many forcefields/emps/fungals/yamato cannons are available for every unit in the current selection fo the observer. Sometimes STLegend just moves his cursor over the sentries to show the tooltip, but that doesnt really help because you cant calculate that fast how many forcefields are available.

Keep up the good work.

The best thing ever made so far by the community! Can´t wait to see tournaments implement this and utilize it! Amazing!

I like this, but honestly cant see tournaments using it pre-made into maps, even if the Custom Observer limits certain things implementing whats possible into that would make tourneys consider it a hell of a lot more and hopefully make blizzard open up the custom observer some more.

Thanks guys.

graNite - That's a good idea I will look into how best to do that.

ZodaSoda - It's definitely a struggle getting tournaments to adopt the overlay. But I have a couple of major tournaments interested right now. Hopefully one of them will end up using it, I think it will really open it up to others.

I hate to sound so blunt but, major tourneys in esports showing interest in doing something new means nothing until they actually do it. =/

I truly believe switching to Blizzards API gives you a far better chance.
But its up to you.

I am with ZodaSoda on switching to the Blizzard API. You clearly do great work and if you can shift this stuff over to a system that doesn't require all events to use a custom map, they are way more likely to use it. However, the logo thing is likley only possible through a custom map, which may be compeling for tournament runners.

This is smart, no wait, this is brillant.

Blizzard should buy the brain of this guy.

I wish every player would be able to customise is HUD. I would like to have a larger view of the field.

Things that would no longer function using the Blizzard API:

-Drawing tools
-Camera intros
-Smurf renaming
-Team logo flairs
-League logo flairs
-Zoom function
-Layout switching
-Stronger team colors
-Spawn positions selection
-Upgrade levels on resource bar
-Built in scoreboard

You guys are basically asking me to throw out 98% of the work I have done on this project. It hurts me.

Arent like 75% of the features presented here also in the peep mode maps?

Sure this program does all that and more, meaning that is is indeed better, but I would still say that the jump from normal SC2 to peep mode is bigger than jump from peep mode to this, and 0% of tournaments have ever tried using peep mode AFAIK.
If any tournament is going to pick this up, it is because of the subtle advertising campaign this duder here has done.


Point is I think you people are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy over hyped, considering i still say DOTA2 observer UI is far beyond what this offers.

When Artosis and incontrol call it one of the best things to happen to starcraft 2, i don't think you can call it over-hyped, I just think you're being a downer .

For those that missed it Blizzard actually mentioned GameHeart in their AMA:
Blizzard
GameHeart is very cool. We were all really impressed with the latest video they released.

Yeah, our custom observer UI feature was initially designed simply to allow tournaments and streamers the ability to customize the UI (on any map) in any way they want. It doesn't actually allow you to do scripting. We've got some cool ideas about this for the future. Some of those ideas will actually end up helping out projects like GameHeart as well.

In this kinds of things i would say that artosis and incontrol are not much more significant than you or me. Do you remember when Barrin made that breadth of starcraft 2 HUGE post and got lots of positive quotes from pro gamers? Nothing happened. I dont think anything was even close of happening.

Wait till Sundance or Carmac says that, then get hyped.

Thanks guys!

Another feature I am working on for the next version of the overlay is the megamap. Which allows observers to press tab to bring up a giant minimap in the middle of their screen. Thanks to Ahli for all his help with this!

[image loading]

This. Oh my god this.

"If you take a look at the tiny box in the bottom left corner people can't see very well in youtube unless it's 1020p recorded at very high settings you'll see that derp derp derp".


With this if I want to talk about a players expansion pattern I can hit tab real quick, use my mouse as a visual guide and go over it realllllly quickly.

I love it.

Literally 0 reason for MLG, Dreamhack & Co. not to use this. Looks amazing, would make the experience more like DOTA2.

Well I hope you will come around Sea_Food! I think this project has a lot to offer tournaments and the only way we are ever going to see widespread adoption is with a lot of support from the community.
