I think this would be QUITE useful for those of us whom have powerful PCs, but lack a decent monitor reolution for whatever reason. For example me, I have a nothing special run-of-the-mill PC from 2002 with max 1280 x 1024 resolution.
Anyways, a text activated trigger. If Player 1 types in (as a random example) "Show pop" then it should show his in the form of a chat message like "623/5000", same goes for Player 2 if they type something like the example shown. However I am wondering if the trigger might mess up and show the pop from an opponent unintentionally?
This is very useful for people with old monitors like me (Come on admit it, you don't all have 4K monitors!) since by me, I made a 20K pop cap mod of my own, and if I get a hundred or more current pop, it looks somewhat like this:
Actual pop = 507/20000, shown pop is 07/20000. This is bad because I can't tell what pop I have if I start building up, and it gets annoying ya know?
I think a chat triggered one would be PERFECT for future pop caps, let's talk future and say we could have EE's engine modernised whenever needbe, and we could have PCs that could handle 7 billion pop (I say that because 7.2 billion people on Earth), put the lack of the Gigantic map being too small to the side for a moment. Fact is, I am PRETTY sure that 4K/8K monitors may be the last of their kind, meaning eventually, no computer can show EE's pop/pop cap properly!
In the chat box you have up to 100 characters which is PLENTY, trust me. So anybody have any ideas?
