Useful mod for watching replays: Total mass on field window

[Laserpoint]

Hello here is my suggestion for a new mod. All the costs of the current units on field should become added up for each player. There should be a small window (like the reclaim window of the eco mod) that shows the value of your units in mass and in energy. In particular this could be useful for watching replays and casters since it would be very easy to see, how much mass every player has "on the field" and to compare the current strenght of the players not only based on their eco.

For example: An UEF player who has 2 t1 land facttorys, 4 t1 mass extractors, 5 t1 pgens, 2 t1 engis, a Snoop and three Strikers on the field gets displayed 1283 mass and 10788 energy (hope I did the math correctly).

Looking forward for replies.

basicly that is resources spent? but without counting repair actions?
i like any new ui mod, so i will like it, can't really help to make it sadly

Not exactly, it is only about the rescources spend on the units that actually are alive ("on the field").

If you take my example: if you get raided and lose a t1 your mass count will go down to 1231 and your energy count will go down to 10528.

This way you could watch a replay and compare the actual value of the player's units. If you see that one player has about 10000 mass "on the field" and his opponet is at about 13000 you can see that the second player is most likly ahead, even though he might has a worth economy.

Unfortunatly I am not a programmer, too. So the success of this mod becoming real relys on somebody who is actually able to programm it.

I would like to know what orhers think about my idea and if somebody who is able to is willing to help make it happen.

You would have to include costs of ACU and SCU upgrades and unfinished nukes... (and unfinished things in general).. that's gonna be hard (I guess?!)

I would vote for something that shows number of ASF per player

There already is a mod (supreme economy) that can detect and output to your UI where your M&E is going; seems possible to adapt this idea to counting the total spent on particular types of units/upgrades/tech
