[REL] Economic Efficiency UI Mod

Probably. A look at the source code would be useful. Now I'm at work and cannot check it - how about someone else?

The big thing uber missed was the efficiency percent for each side of the economy. I used that a lot to see which side I needed to work on most.

Yeah absolutely, you may be -400 metal but it could be the power that is actually limiting your overall efficiency.

This does not work with the current PA build unfortunately (63180)

Is this working with the latest build (63234)?

6324 was a server hotfix. If the mod doesn't work with 63180 that it likely doesnt with 63234

Is the code for the percentages in the current build and just not used or is it non-existent?

So we can just remove the ignoremouse css class?

You also have to remove "no-input" from live_game.html.

Thanks. I hadn't actually gone back to look at the code yet. That saves me some time.

If you don't use ignoremouse, even parts of the UI that don't look like they're set to receive clicks (the shadows) will block clicks given to the holodeck. I've had that issue with the default econ bar for a while, though it may have been fixed in the recent patches.

Orange for spoiling is a mistake.

Spoiling and stalling are different. Both are bad, but not in the same way (opposite actually), so the color code must show a distinguishing mark. Orange is too close from yellow and red. I think it would be better to use blue or fushia.

wasting in PA is nearly as bad as stalling

I would say it is undeniably worse.

I don't think so. It may be a cardinal sin for competitive play, but if you're stalling and don't fix your eco, your production will never match your opponent (unless their stalling). If you are wasting, you still have the capability of increasing your production.

Measuring someones stall by going from green to yellow to orange to red, makes a lot more sense than confusing the player with going above and below 100% efficiency by having similar colors. I like the blue idea as it still acts as a slight warning, but also doesn't give the idea that they shouldn't increase production, since they have the economy.

BTW i updated my mod, is fully functionnal now.

Hey, I have an idea for this mod.

It would be really good to see a bar which shows how much (percentage) of your eco is being spent on growing your eco, and how much is being spent on all other stuff. Going further, maybe showing how much is being spent on building factories and fabbers, vs military.

I have a feeling my strats might be too heavy on developing eco early on and hence I am vulnerable to early attack. If I had a bar like this it would help me understand what I am spending eco on, and how to adjust my spending.

Thoughts?

P.S. If I could get to the code (github?) I would be more than happy to implement what I mean and send a pull request...

The mod is the code though. If you look in the mod directory, all of the JavaScript files are there.
I think the GitHub is here, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the most recent version since it's a month old while SatanPetitCul posted about an update only a week ago.
