ui stuff

[caldera]

i'm looking for a way to change some things on the UI without using lua. can i f.e. disable the messagebox constantly or automatically use the "TAB" top-down-view when a game starts?

i want to use this on my autohost which will provide an updated image of the running game, so you can watch it from "outside" without being a spec. it currently works fine, i just dont want to go into top-down mode all time manually...

You could combine a minimap with a lua widget that sends back unit positions /updates over the autohost udp interface. That way there's no need to generate masses of screenshots.

i'm sure that would be a better solution than my screenshots, but i have no idea how to do this. would be cool if such a feature would be integrated into lobby or autohost though
