Hey guys

So I have disapeared recently, been sort of enclosed in my room fiddling and learning how to use the Blizzard Custom UI and I have sort of come up with an alpha/beta version of what I would like to actually use and send out for casters and streams etc

The idea is to be able to present as much information as possible without attempting to clutter the screen, this is such that a newer person on the stream isnt overwhelmed but there is enough informaiton that a person watching the stream would be able to rewatch the VOD and attain enough info to be able to dissect their build without the replay (to a certain point)

So here is the finalised version for this UI. So aside from feedback, I would also like to know what info YOU think should be available during a cast, either permanently or being able to pull up at anytime.

Re: Custom UI

I like to also look at the army size (resource cost wise) and resources lost

Re: Custom UI

I feel like the resources needs to be moved into a corner and the minimap needs to be reduced in size.

Would it be possible to set the production tab from the left side and put the resources etc in the top right corner?
Good start, but still needs some work imo

Re: Custom UI

So I have had many comments about reducing the mini map size, its not that much bigger than the standard but I will most likely shrink it a bit. Are most people happy with the standard mini map size? Will have a fiddle anyway.

The resources I can put it at the top but then it puts heaps of stuff everywhere which is oil when your playing but in all honesty doesn't look nice. With having the extra info to display I'm trying different methods to present it. But I find its easier to place with the name.

Aequitas I can do that however I will have a look at whether that's better left as info left off screen until needed or a permanent fixture. Ofc that means making it fit with the next design.

As an end note, and is something i have noticed with some feedback people meerly comment that it should be back in its original position. I'm just trying different things so ideas are welcome just not put it back :P BUT again it does give me some indication of how much it works

Thanks for the feedback guys!

And yes spook its you :P

And also, im wondering where abilities (blinks, storm etc) would be on the UI?
I haven't done this yet but they will be included eventually

Re: Custom UI

If you find a way to show the upgrades on the resource bar let me know. It's the only interface aspect of GameHeart we have not been able to replicate.
