It looks great. A couple of suggestions though.

Add a button in the GUI that allows the unit names to be shown, seperate from the player names. Having both on at the same time clutters things up.

I don't know if this would be possible, but perhaps a version with a "commander" option could be possible. Someone joins/voted in as a commander, and tells the units what is going on, as they have an overhead view. Of course, to compensate, the commander could only see what a unit on the field could see. (ie. a Nod commander NOT being able to view the GDI base unless a unit in the game can see it.) Just a suggestion to put out there.

I do realize that, however, the logic behind this is as such:

The player chosen (by whatever means) is the only one who has access to that particular game. The bot in charge of the server then relays the information and a password to the site (server owner controlled, via uploaded to a website?) where the program is located.

Example: The n00bstories server allows me access to the site, so I pass my user name and password through brenbot on the n00bstories irc server (or via page from the game server). I then go to the n00bstories website, click on the secure link and type in my user name and password. I am then granted access to what the players on my team are able to see. During the course of the level, or once it was finnished, if I am removed from the commander position, the site restricts access to me (the user name), and the new person is allowed to join. This would leave a player position filled, and someone seeming as though they are AFK for the duration of the game, but it doesn't affect the game play as that happens for both sides (unless the player is in windowed mode, or wants to tab out all the time).

This is absolutely great! Especially for CWs and analysis.

Just one question: I hope this cannot be abused by server admins to "watch" the positions of the enemies, can it?

But again: absolutely fantastic!

Ofcourse it can, everything can be abused Wink. You'll have to go on a server that you trust, I guess...

Hello World!

I've got some good & some bad news for you, regarding the next beta version.

Bad news first: the next beta didnt came out last weekend and might still take some days. Also I cant promise there will be support for server owners that early (however I will still try to finish that part asap).

The good news is simply the reason for the bad one: mac wrote a new version of the gamelog creator. The new gamelogs will contain many information that renvis could not visualize before:
  • mines,
  • timed & remote c4,
  • beacons,
  • player scores and
  • chats
I am currently working on those. mines & chats can already be seen. I might add a screenshot lateron Wink

Updtate: Here are the screenshots ! Click on the pictures for a normal-sized version !

http://www.blackhand-studios.org/renvis/2005_08_23_screen_chat_small.jpg

GDI & Nod discuss tactics for the next moves ...


http://www.blackhand-studios.org/renvis/2005_08_23_screen_mines_small.jpg

The entrance of the GDI base is mined very well.


Further progress:
  • Several more visualization bugs fixed, no "shots from the nowhere" anymore.
  • Again some work to make replay-logfiles much smaller. Example:
    9.269.701 2005-08-19 13:47 hour_2.txt (original)
      369.635 2005-08-22 20:32 hour_2z.txt (last compression level)
      227.046 2005-08-23 11:19 hour_2z.txt (current compression level)
    Thats almost 2/3 of the former level (!)
  • Autoscrolling text log & new gui.
So, please ... be a little more patient. I hope it will be worth it !

MfG;

No, I fixed all bugs that were mentioned in the forums + the ones I stumbled over by myself. Wich does not mean that it is bug free now.

As i Mentioned before, in my Edit, can you add some sounds to RenVis, as it is getting bored after a while.

Thanks.

Every so often, I get this positive feeling that humanity can somehow, possibly attain pure awesomeness, and enlightenment, and that there is light at the end of the road for us all. However, I only need to go to the latest HUD thread at RenForums to remind me of how dumb I was for thinking such stupid things.

@dsi1: Yes, after the evil RealLife beast had me in his claws for some time, I'll finaly be able to publish a new public beta, including many new features thie weekend. The new name will be "RenHawk" btw.

@Prulez: Yes, I am already thinking about that. Things like an "Affirmative!" sample from Havoc when you click on a soldier etc. However I will first have to contact EA/Westwood if they wont send their lawyers by helicopter if I integrate original CNC sounds. In any case - many other features will be implemented FIRST before I come to sound.

Glad you like it Smile The analyse features of the next version will be greatly improved - look forward to it this WE. Yes, server admins could abuse renvis for their own advantage. But since admins have almost unlimited possibilities to get advantage over other players, I do not see how this could be stoped. Just play on servers you can trust - there are many.
