Features
  • Display multiple leaderboard tabs at the same time (e.g. production tab, units tab, etc.) image
  • Advanced information on the resourcepanel such as upgrades, worker count, army supply, workers lost, army value and more
  • Customisable on-the-fly with hotkeys to toggle UI elements on or off
  • Hotkey to hide commandcard and move unit infopanel to the right image
  • Minimalistic theme that eliminates empty spaces
  • keeps the standard layout and takes away nothing
  • Leaderboard (production tab, etc.) is still fully interactive, you can click icons and use mouse to change between tabs image
  • Clear selection button moved to a more logical location
  • Possible to toggle background for resourcepanel to make it more easily readable + Show Spoiler +
    [image loading]

  • Menu button, help button and social button moved next to minimap
  • Shows map name above the minimap
  • Also compatible with non-1v1 or even some arcade games with certain limitations
  • Compatible with any replay or live game from SC2 WoL, HotS or Starter Edition patch 2.0 (february 2013) and newer

Download

link


Install instructions
  1. Place the file you downloaded to this folder:
    • Windows: /My Documents/Starcraft II/Interfaces/[Here]
    • Mac: users/(username)/library/application support/blizzard/Starcraft II/Interfaces/[Here]

  2. In SC2 go to options -> gameplay and select "Standard Enhanced" from the Observer Interface drop down menu + Show Spoiler +
    [image loading]

Resourcepanel guide

[image loading]

Things to note
  • Current worker count is not to be confused with worker supply (worker supply would be worker count + workers in production). This is why worker count + army supply =/= used supply.
  • Army supply count is exactly what it says, meaning it represents army units on the map + army units in production, the same way the standard supply count works (units on map + units in production)
  • Army value (in minerals or gas) however doesn't include units in production
  • Unit repair cost is not shown in army value, however when a repaired unit is lost, it does appear in army units lost in value (unit does go more expensive when repaired, but the cost is added once the unit is lost)
  • Workers lost count is actually workers-killed-by-opponent count
  • Units lost tab, is also actually units-killed-by-opponent tab. This means that manually detonated banelings, banelings detonated against structures or any units killed by friendly fire, direct or splash, aren't shown. Also note that since this feature was enabled by blizzard with patch 2.0.10. (late july 2013), this tab will not work when using replays from previous patches.
  • User can not be assigned to a player slot when using resume from replay feature (blizzard's design choice) + Show Spoiler +
    [image loading]

  • I can not change any of these due to limitations with interface mods. All these numbers are pulled from the game, I only have control over where they are placed on the screen.

Bugs
  • Archons, regardless of which templars they are made from, are always considered to cost 100/300 as if they were made from two high templars (blizzard's bug)
  • Army value count has another blizzard's bug with archons, that templars stay there as "zombies", for exaple let's say you make an archon from two dark templars, your army value is increased by 100/300 without subtracting the dark templars even when archon is killed (was my mistake, redownload file to apply fix, sorry for inconvenience)

Hotkey guide

Use these hotkeys to toggle UI elements on or off. All the default hotkeys follow the combination of Shift+[a specific key]. Below is a chart which shows how the hotkeys are laid out on a standard QWERTY keyboard and list of all hotkeys with UI elements that each of them controls. If you wish to customise hotkeys or change what's on and what's off by default when you load a map scroll down to settings section.
[image loading]

Shift+W - Hides entire UI

Shift+R - Resourcepanel

Shift+T - Additional structures tab (1v1 only)

Shift+U - Additional units tab (1v1 only)

Shift+O - replay controls and player POV selection

Shift+G - upgrades (1v1 only)

Shift+L - Units lost tab (1v1 only)

Shift+X - Unit portrait

Shift+C - Controlgroups

Shift+V - hides commandcard and moves infopanel to the right

Shift+B - Resourcepanel background

Shift+N - Map name

Shift+M - Buttons next to minimap (menu, ping, etc.)


Default hotkeys are set up very similarily to Starcraft II's default english hotkeys. For instance "Shift+U" opens the additional units tab, and "U" is the blizzard's hotkey to set the leaderboard to display the units tab (image: + Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
). Also "Shift+W" is used to hide the entire GameUI, which is similar to blizzard's "Control+W" hotkey, as well as "Shift+O", which is used in blizzard's interface files to do the same thing as it does here - hide observer panel. All other hotkeys are laid out to the bottom row of the QWERTY keyboard to make it easier to try all of them in case the user happens to forget one.


Settings

You can use __SETTINGS.SC2layout file to customise which UI elements are on or off by default and hotkeys that toggle them. The file is contained within the interface file. You can access it by following these steps.
  1. Open the interface file in the SC2 editor
  2. navigate to the UI module (a button in the top middle)
  3. when the UI editor pops, select __SETTINGS file (the top most file on the left hand side file list)
  4. make neccesary modifications on the right hand side panel

Be sure to follow the instructions there (green text). Also don't forget to save.

Don't want to sound too harsh, but have you give some thoughts to the amount of information on the screen ?

IMHO there is way too many numbers on the top right corner of the screen. Information curation is part of my daily life/work, but looking at this, as a viewer I would not even try to understand what all those are...

The rest seems nice and well polished though.

This would look so much nicer if you removed Total Amount Mined, Army Value, and Army Lost Value. Then, make the player names larger and move that bit over to the right

Thank you man, this is exactly what I need to watch replays, in fact I'd actually prefer to use this for playing over the default interface (ofc without all the numbers as that'd be a hack but just how small/little space mini map ctrl groups etc. take up is amazing.

@Ambre: Maybe I'm misunderstanding but to me this isn't something for viewers, this is something for players. And personally I would have created this myself if I could actually programm, so this is exactly what I need.

Feels like christmas, thanks for the sick work!

Unless I'm mistaken, you don't need to use all of the features. Otherwise, I agree fully.
I promise not to make a tasteless joke.

I guess some might find it too messy, but personally I think this is perfect, no need to scroll around shitty tabs to find a little piece of information.

Is there a way to make a UI that shows the ordering and timing of buildings (and units and upgrades if thats easy too) that are built?

It would be amazing to show the build orders as they develop.

It's a shame they don't allow custom UIs for when people play instead of OBS. Age of empire 3 had that, I bad a blast playing with a semi-transparent and streamlined UI. ^^


Anyway, that's a pretty nice effort you put in there OP, you can be proud of your work.

Be careful of small text. Other casters also have like a (+1820) for minerals per minute being mined after the resources, but they're very small.

For those watching at 240 or 360 (now "Low" and "Medium"), these are unreadable.
Keep this in mind when creating UIs and content. They're always useful to have and it's a shame if you have to miss out due to bandwidth/Twitch!
I will reduce you to a series of numbers.

No.

Start at 28 seconds in this video, Blizzard introduced this themselves for people to play around with.

Sadly no, impossible with just an interface mod, even though it is something as simple as that. Just like highlighting what is being chronoboosted on the production tab, that much customisation isn't simply allowed by blizzard.

Thank you, glad you like it, and yes, the bottom part would work well for playing as well, if only blizzard would allow that.

For streams, that could be a problem, yes but my main target audience were the players, on their own PCs, who want to analyse replays better, with more information, so this allowed me to dodge this issue. But it has been said before, that text is too small, and also that it is in difficult-to-read colors, I will keep all this in mind when making a new version.

Wow, amazing UI mod for analysing your games. Thank you so much for this! Sorry for the bump, but I really wanted to thanks the creator and also there is nothing obsolete about this UI.

Archived this thread and everything in it to our immense huge SC archive. I downloaded and installed it for myself. Got interested in customization.
