Season 3 caster request / feedback

So I made a video of some of the things I want to bring to the Season 3 casts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHOyu_4ZKrM

Please leave any feedback or things you would like to see added to the cast.

In the video I audibly state that I wouldn't ask anyone to make this but I think it'll be a great help/addition to myself and the casts. SOOOO....

Essentially what I am using for the scoreboard overlay is Starboards made for SC2. Teamliquid post: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=205923

Download: http://ascendtv.com/starboard

The thing I would like, if it's possible / anyone willing to put their time and effort into it, is the ability to update the score within Tribes 2 without having to use my cursor to click on the boards and then using key binds to update the score.

Basically having a option to bind the four different steps in Tribes 2. Team 1 +/- points (in case I miss click) Team 2 +/- points etc.

If anyone is able / willing it would be amazing.

Something else that may work equally well would just be a "Casting GUI"

Change your current GUI for one that does all of the things you show in the overlay. Just a thought.

Yea looks good GG.

I like to know how many grabs each team has had also. Not just caps. Grab#s tell alot.

203-126 Tells me team 1 has had 3 efficient attempts where as team 2 is prob doing a lemming type strat etc...

I know thats tough if you have to manual click it and not worth it.

Maybe someone will step up and get you a gui that looks good and shows the scores nice and neatly.

I think the GUI option is by far the best. I have no idea how to do such a thing. I am trying to remember who used to make them. Monkeyhero? saKe?

Yeah. The grabs are something I will still track. If you look in my GUI you'll see the T1 Flag indicator icons that still show the full score. I'll look for this GUI thing.

Nord had just the basic Tribes 2 GUI but had team names and everything and I am pretty sure he used Observer HUD to change the names.

How about you don't allow people to cast who are specifically asked to leave?

perma iffs for casting is good but use them in pubs you will piss me off! AGAIN! thx for casts tho.

I don't have perma iffs but okay. Also if people don't want me to cast I won't.

Not what i said dude, and i enjoy the casts! However. now the attention is drawn, i feel the issue will ceace. Peace.

GG, did you make those? That looks pretty sweet man!

The only thing that really bothers me is the aliasing on the storm and inferno logos but that'd be a quick fix. I definitely agree with Rayne on getting a casting GUI made up.

So I think I got it decent. Going to make HUDs for HP and ENG bars.

Map name and Team Names will be Overlays, but everything else is updated in game. Going to make the flag carrier spots bigger but will do that tomorrow.

I will be making better overlays with photoshop prior to matches so they don't look so crappy.

Also, I did not make any of these scripts from scratch. I took SilverSpirits Score HUD with no icons and changed it around and Monkey Hero's UI is what allowed me to put in the Scoreboard. Only thing I made were the HUDs and Overlays.

New UI in action plus rabble from a sleep deprived GG

Really nice. Maybe map name could be smaller and not hang down as low.

Do more pubs. That was funny.

you crack me up man, epic. Good thing you didn't have to pee.
