Bigger Scoreboard and hero icons

Bigger Scoreboard and hero icons
*updated on 22 Aug 2009 16:15 GMT-5*

This mod's goal is to make it easier to see which heroes are shown in the scoreboard by enlarging the icons, because they are really too small to tell which hero it is.

Note. This mod will only work if this is the only mod with ui\game.interface modified. You can check which ones use the game.interface file here (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=7391). (Look for the teal colored lines under the mod names/numbers.

If you want to use this mod with other ui\game.interface mods, please visit my other thread, Combination mod (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=12022) which allows you to pick a mod combination which combines multiple mods together into one package, so people can use multiple mods together. This mod will be included in the main package soon, once I can update it.


Known problem: the partial view of the scoreboard with the small blue/grey button will only show the hero icons and not their level currently. It's on my to-do list to fix this problem.

nice, been thinking about this

Oh, I know. -.-

This is an initial release, I'll work on fixing all the alignment problems.

Could someone please take a screenshot in a full 10 player game for me, so I can post it in the main post as an example? Warchamp's screenshot doesn't really show the big difference, cause you only see one hero icon, hence it's hard to compare.
Thanks in advance :)

[Warchamp7]

017 isn't taken by the way if you want it

I thought pickle reserved it? But sure why not.

I thought pickle reserved it? But sure why not.

He reserved it for his colorblind mod and then took 16 so meh

Edit: 10 player game

Same image as before but updated so you may have to refresh your image cache (Ctrl + F5)

[SESnut]

it really just depends on how many chars are in names and whether or not they used all caps

like this guy, youd have to stretch it pretty far out just to fit his name in, unless you can dynamically size the names based on how many chars are in it

I blame clan tags. lol. Well that problem I probably wont fix completely because if I make the panel too wide, it'll take too much space off of the game.

Also, Thanks Warchamp7 for that shot :)

[picklefish]

Label for LVL is off too.

Time for respawn needs to be moved right a bit

[MaxGhost]

I TOTALLY fixed it. Completely and utterly fixed to the maximum of it's ability.
(I'm probably exaggerating, but it's fun. :))

I'm gonna upload the new version in the next 10 minutes.

[x4ryuusei]

Good work, I was hoping someone would make this.

[MaxGhost]

about 40 minutes late, but the update is here. I'll upload a screenshot once I'm done playing a game.

[MaxGhost]

Updated.

[tropicaza]

I hope someone can help me with this...I manually made a combination mod of the bigger buff timers, bigger scoreboard, and slide-out V.O.I.P...somehow I managed to mess up the scoreboard...where in the code would I find the values to change so that this (see screenshot) doesn't occur?

Um... just use my mod? Or if you use notepad++, you can just use it's compare tool to find the differences between mine and yours and find where to change it.

/lazy to look what line/number I changed

Edit: actually I suggest you just use lowboll's scoreboard mod (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=13699)... it's much better than this one.

[tropicaza]

Actually, I did use your mod :P. I compared them again, and found no lines in the scoreboard template to be different, thus furthering my confusion. I'll check out lowboll's mod and see if that helps..but I didn't pick it initially because I don't like the aesthetic.

K well search for <!-- Scores Panel --> and the line right below it, change the height to 39.8 instead of 29.8.

Also a few lines below, where it says onclick="blahblah" look for SlideX(\'22.8h\', 250);'); and make it SlideX(\'21.8h\', 250);'); so that the mini-scoreboard thing shows properly.

[gwho1]

i wonder if this would work with mini UI.

larger scoreboard, but mini UI still lets you partially open it so u can see the icons and the hero level. and of course all the other great benefits of using miniUI

kind of tired of testing atm. i'll post result when i get around to it

[MaxGhost]

It does work with it. Download is available in the Master Repository.

[gwho1]

thx for being so helpful again, maxghost

ahh i <3 you max, i feared the partial open distance of miniuI may not work properly, but it's just perfect. i will use this scoreboard mod =]

hey perhaps you could add color to the KDA for your scoreboard as well.?

[Deadwood]

Hello, all these interface mods that don't take a use of the HoNModMon, don't work for me. Can someone tell me to get them work?

Thanks!

[MaxGhost]

You cant. They get overrided by the honmods. It's either sticking with .s2z only and combining mods by yourself, or using honmods for all of your mods.

Hm ok thanks, didn't know that.

Mod seems to be totally broken after last patch, unless that's just me.

Can you explain yourself a little more?

^ the error message is

could not find string starting with "< label width ="150@" height="100%" textalign="center" textvalign="center" font="dyn_9" color="#f6cd6d" shadow="true" as sought by (bigger scoreboard adn hero icons honmod.xml)

That would probably be because of the implementation of the scoreboard colors mod.

[gwho1]

what mod? i dont tihnk i have scoreboard colors mod. it only happened once te new update came out

of course since this isn't working, the small scoreboard out mod doestn work either. i'm so miserable without that mod. 3 phases is just ugh

[Slnt1]

ye same problem after last patch, getting that error message i hope fix ll come soon.

[Aegd]

That would probably be because of the implementation of the scoreboard colors mod.

I'm getting the same error.

Is this something that's easily fixed?

This mod is so good in all it's simplicity (it really should replace the regular scoreboard) It would be a shame to see it gone.

[zunaguli]

cant someone just upgrade the mod to work with the new supercool imba colors? scoreboard is just too small and i hate clicking all time so its visible on the edge... :(

[RedBear]

MaxGhost please update the mod to 0.1.61.

[ALLIN1]

Same error.

[fury`]

Same error here too, please get it fixed. Thanks,

[Ignorance]

I'll take a look at it.

[Ignorance]

It was just one number in one line of code. I changed it to what it is now, but kept what the mod replaces it with.
I'm pretty sure they changed it to make it bigger, but since this one is already pretty big, I kept it the way it was. Hero icons + info might be slightly smaller than before, with the addition of the colors
I also gave the mod an icon. :)

Is there a way to have even bigger Hero icons?

Check the mod and see what you can change. .)

[MaxGhost]

Yes, but all the other labels will be lopsided once you do it. You would have to mess around with a bunch of values to get it bigger and look fine.

[lamzor]

[s2z]Ignorance (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/member.php?u=31393), thx for the update.

[Grooms]

Yes, but all the other labels will be lopsided once you do it. You would have to mess around with a bunch of values to get it bigger and look fine.

But the question is, what are the fields/values I need to look at?
There are bunch fields/txt in the game.interface file. Feels like a jungle

[fury`]

please update the mod for 0.3 =D

[Trilles]

Yeah plzz Max =/

[MaxGhost]

There's other much better scoreboard mods than mine now. I don't plan on updating it. You can fix it yourself by changing the mmversion to 0.3.* instead of 0.2.* in the mod.xml file in the .honmod

[Trilles]

I still think your is the best... -.-
k then

[Omitson]

no .honmod file?

[MaxGhost]

Read up. This is outdated, and I don't plan on updating it.

[Omitson]

Aight. Thanks for the quickreply.

Ahh, the vintage beginnings of mod making.

[Omitson]

Eh, might lock the topic with that note, maybe?
