Both the Base and Add On are now updated. For players with special characters in their windows username, I've also updated the previous standalone download (180921.zip)

(A basic version of the console is somewhat implemented for those who enable the Add On, but unfortunately much of the original functionality doesn't seem possible on DE.)

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

So, from watching the latest esoc casts, it appears that a bunch of stuff has broken with the latest patch, and it's going to take me a while to figure out exactly what happened and if a workaround is possible. I'm a bit busy these days so no ETA. We shall have to see.

Why can’t Tantalus make Spec/Replay mod like this? What have they done for 1 year after the release?

Great work Aiz! Any possibility we can hand over this to the official devs?

Btw, is there a reason you are not bringing the "old" legacy UI back in DE?

Do you mean the spectator UI? Or the regular in-game UI?

Either way, some file formats have completely changed on DE, some old built in functions no longer work, some functions used to work on DE but now work incorrectly on DE.

There were a lot of limitations on TAD, and there are a bunch of different limitations on DE. What you see is still pretty much an illusion of functionality put together using a lot of creativity and lessons learned from trial and error.

The code and methodology is however comparatively cleaner compared to what it was before on TAD. There are some useful new functions on DE which help avoid hardcoding, and I also have a clear direction and already know what I'm doing so it's not a process of continually adjusting old code.

What the devs decide to do with the mod, well that's up to them if they decide to ever make a proper UI for spec mode. I'd hope they at least recognize the most important functionalities and incorporate them.

Thanks, that clarifies much! I meant the spectator UI indeed. Do you think there is a chance/possibility to build the exact same one in DE? Or maybe the very first version of the spectator UI back in the days?

Too much has changed - the exact same one is not possible.

Hotfixed base version for multiplayer compatibility; does not cover any new changes introduced in 2022. Add-on should still function as normal, although I haven't tested it.

Updated for Italy/Malta and latest patch; added experimental functionality to detect shipments sent more than once. Thanks again to @musketeer925 for his help with the shipment icons.

No manual install file attached as latest patch claims to have fixed the related issue.

Updated to fix issue which caused mill bug.

Please please please test mods when advised to do so. The mod was updated 2.5 weeks ago and I am a bit annoyed. :hmm: It's 5:20am, goodnight.
