This is just a modified version of the built-in build eta widget. It increases the size of the widget, and the render distance so you can see it from further away.
#Larger ETA

@gloomy shore so there is no % completion just ETA visible?

<@144542211428581376> so there is no % completion just ETA visible?
It's there if you zoom in, along with the progress bar
I should probably try to play with the placement of the ETA text to avoid them overlapping
Okay, updated to move the ETA above the progress bar. Moving it below would have it overlap too easily with the unit icon when you zoom out

@gloomy shore since its modified of in-game widgete do i have to disable in-game one? and this one have diff name ?

<@144542211428581376> since its modified of in-game widgete do i have to disable...
if it uses the same widget name in the widgetselector (also in GetInfo) then it will override the in game version
mild plaza
@gloomy shore I just DLed it but it does overlap in default:
gloomy shore
That's odd, I just checked and I did indeed push the update to fix that
What's on line 184?
It should be glTranslate(0, yoffset + 25, 10) instead of glTranslate(0, yoffset - 20, 10)
mild plaza
glTranslate(0, yoffset + 25, 10)
mild plaza
It should be `glTranslate(0, yoffset + 25, 10)` instead of `glTranslate(0, yoffs...
so i have this
gloomy shore
Yet it's still not above?
Could you try playing around with the value and then toggling the widget on/off to see how it changes?
mild plaza
so first of all before DLing widget it never worked for me
maybe now it activated the old version?
gloomy shore
Do you have more than one file?
mild plaza
because i had game open then DL widget
then reactivate
maybe i need to close the whole game/exit?
gloomy shore
You shouldn't need to. Do you have more than one copy in your widgets folder?
mild plaza
i suspect conflict with prev version - the in built one
gloomy shore
There would be no conflict, it will replace the built in one
gloomy shore
Okay, can you try changing the + 25 to a different value, and then toggle the widget to see what happens
gloomy shore
Line 184, change + 25 to a different value
mild plaza
maybe its related to game resolution also ?
gloomy shore
That's what I was kind of thinking. I do play in 4k
gloomy shore
Alright, I'll have to play around with sorting out a way for it to dynamically offset based on the resolution.
mild plaza
50 is the optimal
gloomy shore
50 will be too much for 4k
mild plaza
is there also way to increase size of % bar ?
gloomy shore
And likely not enough for 1080p
mild plaza
it super tiny
gloomy shore
There is a different widget for that
You may need to play around with offsets again to make they play nice with each other

ok thx

Doesn't seem to work for me, still have to soom in quite a bit to see the eta? Does the ETA type depend on the resolution?
gloomy shore
I've long since forgotten how this works, if it helps any, I was using this at 4k resolution
hardy lava
Lol, yeah I running it at full screen and my monitor is 1440

Anyone care to rewrite this, I am triggering emergency garbage collection while using this, looks very expensive in widget profiler.
gloomy shore
You could open an issue on the github repository for the widget with more information and I could look into it. Not sure why someone else would need to rewrite it.
It probably just needs to merge in any changes to the built in widget, as it's just the built in widget with some small changes to increase the size of what is displayed.

can we make this part of the base game or an option to make eta larger in game
