Here is the unit queue + progress bar I have made (100% freehand and photoshopped) for my warfare CTF map Demolition X. I have named it Modern Unit Queue because of it's more modern look in-game compared to the default Wc3 Unit Queue.

Info:
Well I wanted to make a new concept in unit queues, and instead of squares that contain the icons of the units trained or upgrades researched, I have made spherical figures to make a more different look and a modern-style unit queue. This unit queue is best used for Warfare maps, Space maps or maps that have a sort of 'spacey' or futuristic theme or in a modern warfare setting.

Import Paths:
Here are the files inside the .zip in this thread, besides them their corresponding import paths when used in your map.
Modern Unit Queue - UI\Widgets\Console\Human\human-unitqueue-border.blp
Modern Progress Bar Border - UI\Feedback\BuildProgressBar\human-buildprogressbar-border.blp
Modern Progress Bar Fill - UI\Feedback\BuildProgressBar\human-buildprogressbar-fill.blp

Tips and Tricks:
To make the 'Training' and 'Research' texts blend w/ this unit queue's colors, go to Advanced>Game Interface then find Text - General - 'Training' and Text - General - 'Researching' fields then add a gray hex color code (like c44444444 or anything grayish). There you go, your unit queue interface is complete!

Please give me credit when you use it in your map. Don't edit it without my permission.

It looks fine and all, but it looks really weird with the icon on it. And the outer stroke of the spheres don't seem to really fit in. :\

But it will probably be useful to certain maps.

I tried to make the icons fit in the sphere's strokes, but I don't want their sides to be overlapping w/ each other when it gets too big, so I kept it that way.

Anyways thanks and all:)

maybe if you put corners on the circle edges at the points where the icon's corners overlap it would look more like they fit into a slot rather then sit on top of the circle... I mean it looks good but the unit icons do seem to look slapped on

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats

    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
