1. [Modding] UI.Metrics and more UIElement methods + allowing pcall (and/or xpcall)

   Hello
   This is a feature request for the Modding API.
   I'm currently making a Mod library (not a mod itself) which will help other Warzone Mod Makers to easily add colorful Text to their UI without having to mess with HorizontalLayoutGroups and Labels. It's realized by using the AddStringToUI function provided by the library, for example:
   
AddStringToUI(rootParent, "Hello!<red>This Text is red<blue>This Text is blue", 500);


   • The rootParent (can also be a HorizontalLayoutGroup, VerticalLayoutGroup, EmptyObject or even a Button) is the parent to which the generated elements should be inheriting from.
   • The string is an html inspired string with colortags and such ( hexadecimal color codes are also possible) from which the UI elements will be generated from
   • The 500 is the max length of the line before a new line will automatically inserted

   For more information check out https://github.com/Laurinchen/TextWriterLib

   The current problem is that the data for sizing and such has been taken from the Warzone website and only from the Warzone website, this means that UI elements created by this library will most likely only be correctly displayed on the Website. This is an obvious cross-compatibility issue, which cannot be easily fixed by the library itself in Warzones Modding API current state. I'm therefore suggesting following (client only) UI APIs:

   • UI.Metrics.GetTextWidth(text): Takes a string as the argument and returns the width of text in pixels as a number. Depends on the client type (website, standaloneclient, ...) and the current font used. Suggested Resources:
     • https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Font.GetCharacterInfo.html
     • https://stackoverflow.com/questions/118241/calculate-text-width-with-javascript/21015393#21015393
   • UI.Metrics.HorizontalGapSize: Constant number, the gap Size between 2 Elements in a HorizontalLayoutGroup. Will depend on the the client type (website, standaloneclient, ...) the game is being played on
   • UI.Metrics.VerticalGapSize: Constant number, the gap size between 2 Elements in a VerticalLayoutGroup. Will depend on the the client type the game is being played on
   • UI.Metrics.ExtraSpacePerChildLevel: Constant number. Every child of a parent gets moved left further (left: CSS-property) depending how deep down it is the ancestor tree. This constant reflects that

   Definition of a [UIElement]:
   Everything that can have a size, which can for example be set via [UIElement].SetPreferredWidth, for example a HorizontalLayoutGroup or Label.
   API suggestions:

   • [UIElement].GetCurrentWidth(): Returns a number of how much width the element currently uses in pixels
   • [UIElement].GetAvailableWidth(): Returns a number of the max width the element can expand into in pixels
   • [UIElement].GetAvailableWidthLeft(): Returns a number of how much space there's left it still can expand into in pixels. Basically GetAvailableWidth() - GetCurrentWidth()
   • [UIElement].GetCurrentHeight(): Returns a number of how much height the element currently uses in pixels
   • [UIElement].GetAvailableHeight(): Returns a number of the max height the element can expand into in pixels
   • [UIElement].GetAvailableHeightLeft(): Returns a number of how much space there's left it still can expand into in pixels. Basically GetAvailableHeight() - GetCurrentHeight()
   • [UIElement].GetAncestorCount(): Returns the ancestor count of the UI Element. For example, the method called on a Label directly inheriting from rootParent should return 1.
   • If any of the above cannot be calculated for whatever reason, it should return -1

   Definition of dialogRootParent:
   the rootParent passed to the callback of ClientGame.CreateDialog(callback).

   • GetDialogHeight(dialogRootParent): Returns the height of the created menu created by calling ClientGame.CreateDialog(...)
   • GetDialogWidth(dialogRootParent): Returns the width of the created menu created by calling ClientGame.CreateDialog(...)
   • Above could also be parameters of the callback passed to ClientGame.CreateDialog(callback)

   Aditionally, I think, following function(s) should be enabled:

   • pcall
   • xpcall

   Reasoning: pcall (and xpcall) are core parts of the exception system of Lua and allow for simple error recovery. This is generally useful for general modding and programming, but it is also useful for this library: If the parsing fails, it could instead

   • return an error

   or

   • add the error to the UI to inform the user of what happened

   This is especially useful if

   • a mod developer wants to let players have access to the functionality of this library, for example for a custom group chat with color support
   • the text parameter is highly dynamically generated and the mod author didn't do formal verification of his code

   Another reason is that http://lua-users.org/wiki/SandBoxes calls pcall and xpcall safe, so there shouldn't be much to worry about except if

   • Fizzer changed pcall (and xpcall) in an important way
   • Fizzer knows about security vulnerabilities with pcall (and xpcall)
   • Fizzer changed the underlying exception system in such a way that pcall (and xpcall) don't work as expected anymore

   I hope to gain Feedback by Fizzer and other Mod makers about these ideas. Thank you for reading

2. Toggle bonus highlights in Idle

   Add the ability to toggle bonuses being highlighted in idle when you complete them, with them always being highlighted it can make it really laggy when completing the larger bonuses if your computer's not powerful enough, a simple ability to toggle whether they get highlighted or not would still allow the feature to work basically the same, while also allowing for people with less powerful systems to turn it off and avoid lag.

4. Warzone Idle: Dock multiple panels in tray

   Allow multiple "panels" (e.g. Artifacts, Smelters, Techs) to be docked in the tray at the bottom. Currently only 1 panel is shown at a time and you have to toggle back and forth between each one. On high resolution monitors there is enough room for at least 2-3 panels to be displayed side-by-side in the tray. Utilize more of that empty space.

6. Paid Member should be able to host a moded game for non paid members. (without using coins and ore than once a week)

   A member should be able to host a modded map for non members,

   I often play with my direct family and using the once a week for free option, often ends up glitching and we didn't get to play it. So then we have to wait another week or spend 20 coins per person for one game or else we would have to have a monthly membership for every single person.

   On top of that I cant even make custom distribution maps for them as its notmunlocked for multiplayer or something.

   I’d love to be able to just pay for my membership but be able to host fun games for my family to join. I know I might be im the minority but that would be a good reason to allow it, I doubt many people have the membership for each member of their irl family.

7. Improve Randomizer

   Currently, the randomizer picks territories without taking much into consideration the strategic advantage of these territories and how they change the outcome of the game. I suggest that there be a mechanism for picking territories based on its strategic position and proximity to teammates and opponents. In the end, all teams will have decent starting points and the starts don't make the game one sided. I know that this is a challenging task but the current auto selector is sometimes disappointing and manual selection gets predictable and boring. Thanks!

8. Analyses of past games

   I would really like to see the ability to do in-depth analysis of past games across all games I've played.

   For example. I'd like to see:

   -Won x % of games against players with winning percentage y
   -A list of all players I've ever played along with the number of games, their overall win percentage and my percentage against them
   -Sorting games by length (number of turns)

   I'm sure other cool analyses on past games could be made as well.

10. MAPS: Raise the svg limit to 4mb or allow for a selected few to break the limit with your consent

    I do not make this request lightly, I thought over it for long and gather experiences from mappers to corroborate it.

    The point is this: we have other limits for the maps - 1000 bonuses, 4000 territories and 3500x2500 px as max size. We strive for them, although the best maps are no doubt smaller, considering the average WZ player plays competitive games.

    Despite this, those few of us who want to make big maps, beautiful, rich in variety and content, are usually choked by the 3mb limit, not because of excess - online communities have perfected numerous ways of reducing size - but because we cannot reach the other limits we have without making a work of poor quality.

    So, you can either have a small beautiful map, or a not so good one big. And that's a pity.

    I do realize this may impact performance (of this I am no expert) and may spark a rise in less polished maps. But considering (1) that maps are becoming rarer by the day; (2) that inexperienced mappers usually, makes very heavy maps because of the lack of polish (7-10 mbs even), rather than going just a bit over it; (3) that many gifted mappers have dropped from publishing splendid works because of the limit; I do expect that you wouldn't see a growth in unpolished maps nor the same complaint for the 4mb limit.

    Also, beautiful maps are a splendid advertisement. Personally, and I can say the same for many a WZ player, I got hooked up to the game by them, so I consider this request a win-win.

    Otherwise, if there was a way for experienced or gifted mappers to submit bigger maps to the editor in some workaround - all through the screening from the managers of the game - it would be awesome all the same. The goal here is to make better maps, not finding a way to work less.

12. Clickable links in game and mod descriptions

    Some players find that the game description does not contain enough space for them to go through their diplomacy game rules for example. So they paste a url into game description instead. The links aren’t currently clickable and on app/standalone the text isn’t copyable.

    Some players are unsure how to use certain mods. Would be better to share a link to a collaborative website which covers things that are not in the mod description.

16. Idle: Receive a random artifact gift upon completion of levels

    In addition to advancement points, would be great if you could receive a random artifact upon completing levels as a reward. Perhaps as levels get tougher to complete, the artifact you receive would become rarer or the chance to receive rarer artifacts increases. Or maybe give players the opportunity to upgrade an artifact they already have received when completing a level by using coins.

17. Idea: Filter out items with zero (0) quantity when selling

    Late in games, when you have a lengthy list of items and going to sell some, many items have zero (0) quantity and makes it hard to find items with just a few (< 10) to sell. It would make it easier to find the items that could be sold if you could filter out all the items with zero (0) quantities.
