@FluX-: Definitely a possibility. I'll keep that in mind.
I need to figure out a good way to implement the same thing for the subbar text, so once I have that figured out, it's a no-brainer for the announcement overlay too. |

Put a lot of work into it tonight, and implemented Flux's suggestion.
v0.3: User can change (or remove) announcement and subbar text. User can customize the number of messages. Announcement messages can now rotate similar to subbar text.
It's actually much nicer, I'm happy I finally got this part done. The interface for working with it is slightly nicer now as a result. |

Awesome app - freaking awesome app. Love the design, the font, actually everything!
Idea to be built in or new app: * Interface with the sc2ranks.com API and pull info on players. This is meant for a seperate "player introduction" window which could be used when in lobby or during game loading. This of course requires input of player's battle.net name and identifier somewhere.
PS. I'm not sure exactly how Github works, but I'm currently only able to download packages for v. 0.1 and v. 0.2 (not v. 0.3) |

@HellGreen: If you just want to use it, just grab the latest version from http://ascendtv.com/starboard
I've just put out another update, this time with 1-click race/color updating and some basic hotkeys. Sorry, no hotkeys for changing player names yet, and can't click scores to increment quite yet.
You can find a list of supported hotkeys either on the github page, or now in the original TL post.
v0.4: * Added 1-click selections for race and player color * You can now shrink the subbar and announcement sections * Setup window will auto-size to contents. * Added hotkeys for player race, color, and score. |

I know, I was referring to the source code. Only v. 0.2 is available from Github, if I'm not mistaking?Last edit: 2011-04-14 08:23:38 |

@HellGreen:
Just don't select a tag to get the latest source code. Download or fork from the master. I stopped actually tagging these incremental releases, it's not worth it until the stable 1.0 |

If you downloaded version 4, you'll probably want to update. Some nasty bugs, including the 1-click buttons just plain not working. It's got an icon now too, so it's easy to find.
v0.4.2: * Fixed the 1-click buttons not working properly.
v0.4.1: * Fixed not being able to minimize. * Added icon |

Hey Ascend, I was using version 4 (i think?) to stream a tournament so this might have been fixed in 0.4.2
Awesome app, thanks a lot!
We had one issue that was really annoying though, is that the app doesn't stay-on-top, so whenever I alt-tabbed it dissapeared, and often I forgot to bring it back. Monitor setup is left monitor in 1280x800 with starcraft in Fullscreen-windowed mode, right monitor has xsplit + skype + a bunch of other things opened
If you fixed that, it would be sick!
Thanks from all of TeamQQLast edit: 2011-04-13 21:14:50 |

I can take a look at it, but I'm not sure how much I can do about it. It seems to be a weird issue thing with Windows where alt-tabbing can sometimes hide top-most windows. You'll notice this also with IrfanView if you use it in top-most mode for overlays.
One way to avoid this is to just simply not alt-tab. When I'm casting, I have confine mouse set to off, specifically so I don't have to alt-tab. It also means the alt-tab menu doesn't show up on screen and you can smoothly go over to the 2nd monitor for management. |

Oh, great idea! I'll do this from now on.
Thanks! :D Will let you know if it doesn't solve it. |

Ascend! This has to be the greatest scoreboard outthere, congratulations.
One thing though, even if I setup multiple announcements, they don't rotate like the subbar does. If i set two messages in the subbar for rotation every 2 seconds, it works. But when I toggle the announcement, it stays there, doesn't roate with the other announcement, and doesn't go back to the scoreboard view.
What is the intended behavior here?
Edit> Actually, nevermind. There is a bug where if you setup multiple announcements they don't rotate. A way to fix this is to exit the application and run it again.Last edit: 2011-04-15 06:17:33 |

Awesome upload man, much thanks.
Was wondering if it's possible to add some sort of coding that will allow the winner's race to be highlighted in the middle of the screen. Something like in the IPL (IGN ProLeague).
So for example, if it's a TvP and Terran wins, after the loser types GG or ragequits, maybe the caster can press like a hotkey or something that initiates the logo of the winner's race to be highlighted:
Terran Wins (Logo Underneath)
Just a random idea, either way, thanks for the effort put into this scoreboard. Will be downloading this now. |

@`dunedain: That's actually a really good idea. I'll mark that down for a future addition. If nothing else, just some kind of winner indicator would be good.
I've just released v0.5.0. The biggest change is the ability to enable and set transparency for the scoreboard. Note that transparency has some repercussions with streaming in certain circumstances. If you run Windows 7 with Aero disabled (i.e. your start bar is NOT see-through), some capture software, such as VhScrCap and XSplit, will not capture transparent windows, meaning your stream would not see it.
Version 0.5.0 * Fixed crash when using invalid timer values. * Added the ability to enable transparency for the scoreboard. * Added the ability to customize the opacity of the scoreboard. * Scores cannot be less than 0. * Added fade-in and fade-out effects for when transparency is enabled. |

| Hey Ascend just wanted to let you know that everytime I stream and use your overlay, people always want to know where to get it. It's absolutely beautiful, I hope more and more people start using it. By far the best looking overlay in use right now, and can't believe how often you keep adding new features :-) |
