<div class="IPBDescription">This is just a mockup</div>Hey guys, I was just messing around in Photoshop and thought it'd be a good idea to make a mockup of a scoreboard. NS2HD has been doing an amazing job with recording and casting scrims so I thought I'd help out and give some ideas for how it should be shaped.

Lets just skip the talk and lemme show you. Note: This is not a final version, just something to show the community and get some talk about what they like and what they dont like. I think it would help out UKW if they already knew what the community thought should be in a replay editor/scoreboard.

<!--coloro:#8B0000--><span style="color:#8B0000"><!--/coloro-->Sorry to Inversion I'm just messing around guys, you're an <b>amazing</b> team:)<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

<b>Additions from NS2HD:</b>
<u>1. Each team has a render of the starting person you spawn as</u>:
More of a visual explanation of what team is on what side without using words

<u>2. Color scheme matching each team. (Blue: marines; Orange: Kharaa)</u>:
Just visual. <i>Is this important?</i>

<u>3. Show who the current commander is for both teams</u>:
Nice to know who is commanding for each team

<u>4. Show team res amounts for both teams</u>:
Shows Team Res management

<u>5. Show total resource towers both teams currently have up</u>:
Gives more information how one team is ahead of another team

<u>6. Short rectangle theme</u>:
Just trying to go with something different than the long rectangle to show what they each add or take away from the visual. Really interesting to know what you think!

<u>Main color</u>:
White: I went with white here just to again show difference from NS2HD's black theme
Black: After about 4 minutes I thought the white was almost a bad idea but I'm still leaving it but now I'm gonna put a darker color scheme in

Remember guys, this is just a mockup to show different styles of replay editors/scoreboard, not for visuals except for team colors and main color.
Comment away!

    wow this looks fantastic! the only thin i could say is that it may need to be more rectangular and elongated so that it can fit at the top of the screen and people can still read the stuff like commander and res towers.

    I love it!
    shows commander / # of rts / team res, that's really good.
    maybe show the mapname between the two teams?
    And this is only visible to spectators, am I right?
    I would make it less high and more wide.
    have the two teams left and right and let them look at the center, extra info is spread out in a single line beneath those images.

    another cool thing to add is to change the skulk and marine according to the tech lvl the teams have:

    lvl 1: skulk or marine with rifle
    lvl2: fade or marine with flamethrower
    lvl3: onos or exoskeleton

    I'm really sorry about ruining your suggestion, but this is how I see it. (the placement, off course not the graphics)

    <img src="http://i.imgur.com/ZpfkL.png" border="0" class="linked-image" />
    or maybe move the two teams more to the corner and give the mapname it's own button

    This is how i would see it, yes, perfection. Through this at the top of the screen and that would make the game a lot better to watch.

    I don't quite understand the point of this exactly. Would this be displayed on the spectator screen for a match for people watching it live?

    I was thinking more of a replay information so when you watch replays there would be a menu that showed all of this, and when you went back to watch replays you could record your screen and cast. But I guess this could be used as a spectator tool too!

    Here's an updated version which would be a more plausible and useable set up. I tried not to use colors to make people focus more on the game than on this.

    Coming with in-game picture soon!

    V2 is better, but you might want to consider white (or light gray) lettering so that you can actually read it.

    It's a bit hard to read the text, and it's also huge takes up too much of the screen.

    It is scalable, so the size can be changed easily. I can see the text just fine with the new white text. The reason I want to make it a little bit "hard" to read is because if your watching a scrim, you don't want to have the attention focused on the scoreboard because that would make you side tracked from watching the game play. So I thought it would be good to make is visible only i you wanted to see it.
