@Atrik seems i now found what i could do => restart 0ad
the problem was/is:
1. that stats always pop 2. and now also happens in all kind of games. ... => when this happens i restart 0ad and then its seems repaired to the end of the day or idk exactly how long and why
as i said it was heaping with navigate the map but now also when i opened the everywhere chat with ctrl + enter ( only enter is allied chat for me ).
i should test if its not related to proGUI omg
.. but at the moment the problem not exist. so i cannot test

But to add new features and abilities and then use that against players who don't have that same mod is cheating.
When the other player agree? I agree, I always agree to this statement. it sounds very logically straightforward. But total transparency is much more important i mean:

I like that during the pause in the Age of Empires 1/2/3, you can give commands to units and order them to build buildings, laying out the foundation and outline of the city, while time is frozen. Is it possible to do something similar in 0 A.D?
some command for this: https://github.com/sl5net/autocivP#compare-ihot-intuitive-hotkeys-optional-and-nihot-non-intuitive-hotkeys-optional

some of you know already that i play since a while with icons in name with a special meaning that will added automatically if i use this mods:
♤ proGUI mod, ♇ autocivP mod
maybe thats a good transparency ?
and also when i start a rated game then automatically a list of all mods i use are posted.

that doesn't sound good to me at all. maybe it depends on the detail and how specifically you mean that. Well, for me that's what's special about 0ad that I found mods there, which is why I play ad at all. where I can program myself. but maybe the details matter a lot.
If autociv hadn't existed, I wouldn't have switched from MegaGlest to 0ad. i was looking for something where i 1) can use the keyboard 2) can be creative (not only during the game) and that fits to being a developer

ok now found out:
When2meet.com is using some cookies.
if you use cookie - blocker
then When2meet.com:- When2meet.com cannot ceck time zone.
- When2meet.com not remember timezone later (when you edit)
then whenisgood.net/ :
- whenisgood.net cannot ceck time zone.
- whenisgood.net can remember timezone later (when you edit)
==> i prefer whenisgood for that reason

However in general because of the growing divides that this mod seems to create into a already small community, I'm thinking about terminating the project. Some people are getting harassed for using this mod it's simply ridiculous.
If seemingly reasonable people like you or @wowgetoffyourcellphone deem it just a cheat comparable to real cheats then I'll do it. I'll know forever that you guys probably just had stupid biases to think the interface exactly as it was in a unrelated game from last century.In my opinion, it's unfair to equate the mod to cheats because they are fundamentally motivated. I believe the mod is designed to enhance the game-play experience, while cheats are intended to give unfair advantages.
I suggest implementing features that clearly indicate when the mod is active. This could include visual indicators or notifications that let others know when someone is using the mod. By doing so, we can ensure that everyone is aware and there are no misunderstandings.
I believe having open discussions and finding common ground is important for our community. Let's work together to address any issues, alleviate concerns, and create an environment where everyone can enjoy the game

i personally have used
whenisgood.net first and like it.
then other player suggest
When2meet.com and i like it too - maybe better.
but there i have little problem with timezone therefore i wrote to the dev team:QuoteHi when i open it then timezone is always wrong first (Oslo),
i need London/Berlin
https://www.when2meet.com/?21195881-6gxYMmaybe ask http://whenisgood.net/
how they do it
Thanks,
=> so i recommend use such tools and looking forward if you may know something similar or better. ty.

/if
"ignoreInCompatibilityChecks": false/then this would be a whole different discussion. Agreed?
Yes, using a mod like ProGUi when the other player doesn't have it can be considered cheating because it creates an unfair advantage. Releasing a mod without compatibility checks, where "ignoreInCompatibilityChecks" is set to false (like e.g. autoCiv also), allows some players to automate actions that others can't. This can give them an unfair advantage.
However, it's important to prioritize transparency in these situations. When players know what tools or mods others are using, they can make informed decisions.
It's also worth noting that if a modder enables the option "ignoreInCompatibilityChecks": false, they may struggle to find opponents to play with, especially if it's a new mod. This can limit the availability of fair matches and impact the modder's ability to find suitable gameplay opportunities.
Finding a balance between fair competition and allowing for the creativity and enjoyment that mods bring is crucial. By encouraging transparency and open communication within the community, we can create an environment where players can make their own choices while still maintaining fairness in the game.
BTW @wowgetoffyourcellphone i send you a private Message for a day . didn't you see it? -

as I understand it's also possible to hide all kinds of cheats
thats true. To prevent cheating, you would need to remove JavaScript completely on the client side. This would require creating a new game without any client-side scripting. recognizing the effort and hard work that goes into creating mods, even if they are considered cheating by some. By acknowledging the dedication and creativity of mod creators, we can encourage a positive and respectful dialogue that motivates them to continue programming and contributing to the community.

Creating a definitive table with estimated percentages of how much each tool or factor influences game wins is challenging because it can vary greatly depending on the specific game, player skill, and other factors.
but first FAQ (what this post is and not is):1 hour ago, wowgetoffyourcellphone said:entire thread was designed to bolster the p.... mod
no its not. its for give some different points of view and maybe better discussions and decisions later and understanding each other.
1 hour ago, wowgetoffyourcellphone said:The chart isn't scientific in the least
thats true. as said often also in the thread first posting.
However, I want provide some examples to illustrate the potential impact of certain tools or factors:
Monitors: Having a larger monitor or multiple monitors can enhance visibility and provide a better gaming experience. This can potentially improve reaction time and awareness of in-game events, giving a slight advantage. Estimated influence: around 5-10% improvement in performance.
Good lighting: Adequate lighting conditions can reduce eye strain and improve focus, leading to better concentration during gameplay. While it may not directly affect gameplay mechanics, it can contribute to overall player comfort and performance. Estimated influence: around 2-5% improvement in performance.
Good chair and ergonomics: Comfortable seating and proper ergonomics can help reduce physical discomfort and fatigue during long gaming sessions. This can indirectly contribute to better focus and prolonged gameplay. Estimated influence: around 2-5% improvement in performance.
Strong PC: A powerful gaming PC can provide smoother gameplay, faster loading times, and better graphics quality. This can enhance the overall gaming experience and potentially give a slight advantage in terms of responsiveness and performance. Estimated influence: around 5-10% improvement in performance.
Spectator: Tips and reminders from while watching the game from somebody (from same room or from somewhere else),
can vary depending on the individual player and their ability to multitask and process information.
While the exact percentage may depend on individual factors and preferences, considering a range of -3 to 10% provides a general understanding of the potential influence that tips and reminders from a spectator can have on a player's performance in the game.It's important to note that these percentages are rough estimates and can vary depending on individual skill levels, game mechanics, and other factors. The impact of these tools or factors is also subjective and may differ from person to person. Ultimately, the skill and strategy of the player remain the most significant factors in determining game wins.
mods
AutoCiv Mod (with OP hotkey configuration): The AutoCiv mod, with its powerful hotkey configuration, can provide players with a significant advantage in terms of efficiency and speed in executing in-game actions. This can streamline gameplay and give players an edge in terms of productivity and decision-making. Estimated influence: around 2-8% improvement in performance.
It's worth noting that the estimated influence percentages are subjective and can vary depending on the specific game, player skill, and other factors. The impact of the AutoCiv mod's hotkey configuration can be significant, but the exact influence may depend on the player's familiarity with the mod and their ability to effectively utilize the enhanced hotkeys.boonGUI (with larger map overview): The boonGUI tool, with its zoom configuration, can provide players with a larger map overview, allowing for better strategic planning and decision-making. This expanded view can give players an advantage in terms of situational awareness and map control. Estimated influence: around 1-3% improvement in performance.
Again, it's important to note that the estimated influence percentages are subjective and can vary depending on the specific game, player skill, and other factors. The impact of the boonGUI tool's larger map overview can be significant, but the exact influence may depend on the player's ability to effectively utilize the expanded view and make strategic decisions based on the additional information.proGUI (with autoproduction resart): can prevent players from forgetting to restart production and ensure a more consistent and efficient resource management. The autoproduction feature can give players an advantage in terms of maintaining a steady flow of resources and units. Estimated influence: around -3 to +15% improvement in performance.
Again, please note that the estimated influence percentages are subjective and can vary depending on the specific game, player skill, and other factors. The impact of the proGUI tool's autoproduction feature can be significant, but the exact influence may depend on the player's ability to effectively manage their resources and make strategic decisions based on the automated production.AbstractGUI (with object simplification): The Abstract Shapes tool can simplify complex objects in the game, such as trees, and replace them with abstract shapes. This can improve visibility and allow players to better see through obstacles or cluttered environments, giving them an advantage in terms of situational awareness and strategic planning. Estimated influence: around 1-5% improvement in performance.
Again, please note that the estimated influence percentages are subjective and can vary depending on the specific game, player skill, and other factors. The impact of the Abstract Shapes tool's object simplification feature can be significant, but the exact influence may depend on the player's ability to effectively utilize the improved visibility and make strategic decisions based on the simplified objects.this is not a complete collection.

BTW
Innovation in any field, including gaming, often starts with individuals exploring new ideas and approaches. It's not uncommon for these ideas to be initially met with skepticism or resistance, as they may be perceived as cheating or unfair advantages. However, over time, some of these innovations may become accepted as standard practices if they are proven to enhance the overall gameplay experience and maintain a level playing field.
Transparency and availability to all players is indeed an important aspect to consider when evaluating the acceptability of certain tools or techniques. If an innovation provides a significant advantage but is only accessible to a select few, it can create an imbalance and negatively impact the fairness of the game. In such cases, game developers and communities often strive to ensure that innovations are accessible to all players, either by integrating them into the game or by providing guidelines for their use.
It's worth noting that striking the right balance between innovation and fairness can be challenging. Game developers and communities continuously evolve their rules and guidelines to adapt to new innovations and maintain a healthy and enjoyable gaming environment for all players.

Thank you @seeh!
sadly it works not in little bit longer tests. last quick test was a minute.
Now a bit longer with this feature and found out that the problem happens often also as spectacter a lobby game. not only when replay runs.i found out it also happens when i press:
- ESC key
- CTRL+Left
- CTRL+right
- CTRL+up
- CTRL+down
here you see it really good. maybe you have a idea. its not happens when i use boonGUI exclusive/ normal (as i did before):
and was also interesting that it happens less, when this game (at the youtube video) takes longer. at the end when all two players was in phase 3 it was not happens. then works normal
maybe in big team games it not happens? and maybe at beginning in smaller games it happens?
Quotectrl-tab, maybe you press on it in same time or it's conflicted hotkey. You can also try to load proGUI last in mod if the problem still appear, or maybe disable BoonGUI.
- no, as you see in this video (and other videos from me)
at bottom left in the life keyboard, i not press other keys.
- proGUI last in mod if the problem still appear
thank, idk. not useful for me, for some reasons (its a bit technical to explain)
- or maybe disable BoonGUI. you mean in the proGUI config?=> i switched back to the auto-enable boonGUI for replays. that works pretty well. not as fast then use the inline boonGUI in proGUI, becouse its need a auto restart 0ad first. so a bit delay but works.

i have problem when
i watch replay with the boonGUI view available by proGUI
and not if i watch with boonGUI mod
when i try rotating map.
i use Ctrl left for rotate left
this works not anymore if then (it opens a statistic so i dont see the map not).
thats its also text left.i hope that could be solved. because i love this fast automatic switch to the boonGUI when i watch replay or observer. that will be cool.
this problem happens only in replay watch mod.

proGUI
in Gameplay Discussion
Posted · Edited by seeh
I still wouldn't be able to get past Lionel Messi. And if Lionel Messi said before the game "Yes, try, let's see how far you get, and you can also add two more players from your family" then I don't think we should forbid Lionel Messi from playing like that. Or?
Yes, but then it feels not like cheating for me.
