eaxs's Transparency Mod - Skirtmonkey Edition

[eaxs]

*** INTRODUCTION ***
This is based upon my original AltInfo and adds 2 new features for all you monkeys out there. Reason why I have not just added them to the original is that the performance is probably worse (may cause FPS-lag) and because not everyone will need/like the new features.

*** FEATURES ***
- All the features from the original version
- New: DOC-O-METER
- New: SAC-O-METER

*** DOC-O-METER ***
If you're playing as Chaplain or Shaman, a green, purple or red cross symbol will show above allied players indicating their health status. This is sort of replacing the skull symbol from the original (but only if you play healer class).

- No Symbol: Health is above 80%
- Green Symbol: Health is between 80-60%
- Purple Symbol: Health is between 60-30%
- Red Symbol: Health is between 30-0%

*** SAC-O-Meter ***
This is automatically activated if you're playing as Shapeshifter and will show a number next to each enemy building, indicating when you have to start running when trying to sac.
For example you will see something like this:

Garrison (9)

This means you need exactly 9 seconds from your current location to reach the building and blow up. However, this calculation is only true if you would run a straight line to the target. So you'll have to add a second or two if you are going to run a curve or if you think you'll get into a fight.

Also note that the time calculated is for running, not walking. Meaning you have to hold SHIFT in order to reach the target in time.

Anyway, this really is a great help to get your timing right.

OMG sac-o-meter is going to be huge!

[eaxs]

I have tested the sac-o-meter a lot and I can tell it's almost like cheating

[wizanda]

So what about the transparent monkey skirts?

Hopefully one day this won't be called a mod, yet be included to improve the game play.

You know, I made some stuff that changes based on the class you play, but I've never thought about using this with the alt info. I'm so gonna stea- I mean, inspire myself from this brillant example.

By the way, the sacrifice counter uses distance counter, isn't that fps expensive ?

Sure, go ahead

Yes I'm using the distance counter for the sac-o-meter which does have an impact on FPS. Which is why I did not add this feature to the original version.

Here is the formula for calculating the sac time:
Ceil(( AltInfoDistance/ 10) * 1.5)

SAC-O-METER sounds awesome, but using it with alt-info always on will probably just lag the **** out of me, or anyone not playing on a supercomputer. If there was a separate hotkey for activating this, now THAT would be cheating.

Nice job on the mod though, I'm definitely checking this out.
