Notes

• This is only for spectating Multiplayer servers only.
  
• Installation instructions can be found in the readme.md text file in the top level folder.
• Instructions on how to create a theme can be found in the readme.md file also.
  
• Always join the session in practice, preferably when no other drivers have joined the server.
• A resolution scaling config file (resolutionScaler.less) has been added in the top level folder which you can use to increase/decrease the size of the UI live on screen.
  
• If you find a bug, please check if you can reproduce it with the original spectator tool also. Given that this tool is a fork of that, it really helps narrow down where the issue could be.

Looks awesome, good job!

 

Looks very nice,great job mate.

 

Looks great! While on it, maybe possible to extend the Standings list to show more then 26 Drivers?
Would love to see a full Grid of 36 Drivers

 

Yes, I was thinking of having a feature where if there was a big field, it would show the top 15 standings for 30 seconds, then replace it with the next 15 for 10 seconds, followed by the remaining 15 (or less) for 10 seconds and then back to the start in rotation. This would help unclutter the UI a lot, but also still have full visibility of the field. It is something I could look at.

 

Great work
Is it not possible to show the standins as a roll-bar (or something like that) below the screen?

 

Great job!

 

Yes, that could be done too. It would likely be separate widget, but its a good idea and would help free up more space.

 

Overall i really like it, especially color scheme, but have quite a lot suggestions But I didn't dig into the code of broadcast overlay so can't say what is possible to change and what's not.

First of all, I don't like how inconsistent it is, especially regarding edges - sometimes you use sharp ones, sometimes round with varying roundness. Same with transparency and spacing.

I really like how standings tower looks like - I would only change that flag to be square and move it between position and driver name (or code, whatever you'd call it). Class names look a bit off as it moves timing out of line which makes it a bit harder too look at. But this would require customizing their names or maybe only keeping color coding (like a small rectangle, but maybe near position?). Aaaand maybe I'd lower spacing between each driver, but that's a matter of taste I guess

Allright, wanted to write more, but need to go to sleep.

 

@rad Yeah, I forgot to mention, only the Driver Info Widget has been styled around 80% to what the baseline theme is to look like. The rest is 1 day out of date, but early concept is there, but you are right.

I'm will try to make things as compact as possible - an example might be to have the flag faded into the background of the drivers name etc, or remove it completely and have a class colour behind instead and leave the flag for the driver detail info instead at the bottom.

Thanks for the feedback and I'll try find some time over the next few days to update the other UI elements to the newer styling and I'll update the original post then.

 

Really appreciate your effort in this!

 

Damn, now I have a need to try play with those by myself Gonna look into it once I come home.

Is it possible to change how current car is highlighted on standings tower? I don't like this position offset

 

@rad Yes that can be changed to have no effect.

 

Fantastic job, looking forward to seeing more.

 

Looks cool! really like the style of your overlay

edit: I just noticed I am in one of the screenshots. No problem though just funny as I did not expect it

 

Nice job
I am really curious if you will succeed in the future with a roll bar underneath.
I do not want to push you

 

Once I add an input box/dropdown to limit the number of drivers to show in the main standings list on the top left, then I'll probably work on that, maybe.

 

Would Push2Pass not be "P2P" so every carsport enthusiast know, what it means?

 

OMG that last word "maybe" is one word to much
Take your time, i enjoy to follow you with this stuff
