I’ve finally made some fixes for War2Observe and is now available for download HERE. If there are any serious bugs, please let me know immediately so I can fix it. These are changes that I’ve made to this version of War2Observe:
- The selected player’s color is now displayed on the left side of the menu
- The barrack’s HP is now shown while training units
- Ogre-mage is now shown in the barracks
- Proper shield and sword upgrades are shown on units
- Shipyard will now display what unit is being trained (thank you howdoesthi)
- Shipyard’s HP is now shown while training units
- Hold and fort icon will now show if the player has the proper tech buildings
- Used the Eye of Kilrogg for War2Observe’s icon (thanks Guan-Yu for the idea)
- Added restrictions for APM to only display numbers between 0 and 999
- Clicking near the top of minimap shouldn’t bring you to the bottom anymore
What happened to 1.1.0?
When I first released War2Observe version 1.0, it did not have an APM counter. Within a few days of 1.0.0, I released 1.1.0 by adding the APM functionality, but I forgot to update the version number. What most people think is 1.0 is actually 1.1 because it has the APM display.
Future release?
I am planning on doing a few additional features for future release. I have played around with displaying additional stats for watchers (ideas given by Guan-Yu and Phreak[eG]) instead of showing APM. It turns out that I have been using a bad code cave and it results in war2 crashes, so I am now in the process of restructuring War2Observe and how it uses War2′s memory. The next release may not be ready anytime soon. Those who are not affected by this currently shouldn’t have any problems using the newer version.
In addition to the stats, [TD]Mage had a good idea of doing Alerts for major milestones in the game. This is a great idea, one which I will be implementing after I am done with the restructuring and add the stats display for watchers.
