Yesterday we started rolling out the new overlay in TWD which entirely replaces the old one. Massive thanks for all the kind words and feedback! The plan is to eventually replace the old overlay entirely and only use the new one. The new overlay has some additional features compared to the old one:
  • Round score
  • Full team name
  • Flag indicator (in BD)
  • Player indicators (in DD/JD)
  • Bigger scores
  • Line-ups, and player status indicators (lag, out of play, open spot, ship type)
  • Bar graph on flag bar (in BD) with flag indicator
  • Ready indicator during setup
  • Team score above player scores in the bottom right display
As expected there were a few hick-ups and the following features were not working 100%:
  • Line-up indicators weren't updating properly in DD/JD
  • Player/team scores bottom right weren't showing for some players
  • Starting graphics were displayed too long, or were (way) too big
The following changes have been made since the first release:
  • The "preparing line-ups" object is now much smaller, and only shows up for 3 seconds at the start of the game/when entering the arena during setup
  • Besides the ready indicator there's now a preparing indicator that shows during setup
  • The "game over" object is now much smaller, the show duration is reduced, and doesn't trigger multiple times at the end of a round/game
  • The "go!" object is now much smaller and the show duration is reduced
  • Line-up indicators are now working as intended for DD/JD, and shows a grayed out dot for players who are out
  • Player/team scores now show for the correct player
  • The command "!showkd" now has an extra toggle state "player score only", instead of just ON/OFF
  • Overlay explanation graphics are disabled
  • Round timer is now a darker shade of gray
So there would be a small additional download when you enter any of the TWD arenas. Be sure to re enter the arena after the download to see the full overlay.

A few points are still looked at for improvement:
  • Line-up dots during play hidden or not
  • Line-up dots color for DD/JD, maybe a darker gray instead of ship color
  • Player score death number color, maybe a darker red or medium gray
  • Round timer in BD, although the darker color should help of it being distracting
Any additional feedback and ideas are greatly appreciated. Have fun!
