[Patch] Watch Other Companies GUI

[Bilbo]

- only watch other companies with rcon

rcon is for sending commands to server, this patch is fully client side, so rcon with this does not make much sense. What about local games without any sort of Rcon? Watching what AI is doing is very useful, especially when debugging these AI's.

I guess, from develpment view, there is no possibility to make something against this feature.

Basically no.

But for competition games, it is a simply cheat, specially if not everyone has access to that patch.

Then add it to trunk :)

As for "cheating" - there are many other patches that quite greatly enhance the GUI and ease of construction and such ... my console commands patch, copy and paste patch, minimap enhancement patches, colored town rating and others ...

Anybody can get any of the patches and use them, everybody have access as anybody can download files from these forums. There are even binaries here for people too lazy (or too unskilled) to compile it on their own.

Unless someone programs some really evil extra feature in it (like automatically blocking an opponent as soon as he build something) I see no cheating in it. The conditions are fair to everybody.

Once IS2 is up to date I will be applying the two together as it will be extremely useful with that.

there is no watch_gui.h / cpp in patch for 1.0.0-RC2. It's obvious if you note the sizes of patches in top message of this thread.

Yes, yes, yes

Fixed

Thanks a lot!

The patch version for 1.0.0-RC2 does not apply to final 1.0.0 version

I am attaching fixed version that works in 1.0.0

I added this patch to our little client patch pack and very much like it.

I think the status columns on the left could be made thinner:

- Width of the company switch just as width as the color boxes or do you have some Mods with troubles to target it?
- Maybe merge the green (online) and red (activity) dots? The green dot could blink as red maybe and the width could also be smaller.

Done !

Hehe, your merge didn't really help, you made your buttons now bigger, my idea was to make those columns smaller to have more space for the watching window.
