(Dreamy) ETW based highlights
yes, dreamy indeed
here are my objections:
1. i don't know how to program graphics, have no idea about sdl.
2. even if i did have an idea, it'd be very hard to do the highlights in a way that it doesn't get boring and repetitive (i remember quite a few times when i played a manager and turned off stuff like this very quickly).
3. generally, Bygfoot is designed more for the brain (or tries to be) than for the eye.

Well... part of the 'dreamy plan' was that ETW does the graphics for you, you just somehow reuse it.byboth wrote:1. i don't know how to program graphics, have no idea about sdl.
Indeed. There are few ways around this really, other than simulating the match off-screen and picking the best moments (CPU expensive?).byboth wrote:even if i did have an idea, it'd be very hard to do the highlights in a way that it doesn't get boring and repetitive (i remember quite a few times when i played a manager and turned off stuff like this very quickly).
Another somehow similar idea (maybe more Bygfootish): have a newspaper article with match highlights. Imagine something like that:
User Team defeats league leader!
9 768 fans gathered to see the game User Team - VeryStrongTeam. Everybody expected VeryStrongTeam to win and bookies offered as much as 7:1 for home team's win.
VeryStrongTeam opened the score with early goal by Attackson. A few minutes later Goalson from VeryStrongTeam was sent off for deliberate foul. Just before the half time, User Team got an equalizer after a header from Headsen.
Just after the break VeryStrongTeam's defender knocked Goalson in the penalty box. Penalty was converted by Penaltier. Despite further efforts, VeryGoodTeam wasn't able to equalize, User Team won the match 2:1.
Of course, newspaper article will be XML-based, with syntax similar to livegame XML.

the newspaper idea is in fact on my internal todo list (i just forgot to add it to the external one here ). but i imagined shortish articles about events NOT related to the user team (or not specifically, ie. no distinction between user team and other teams). i mean, most users watch the live game anyway, and if they don't, they can watch the replay with verbosity=2 or 3 and get more or less what's in your article.
i rather imagined the game collecting extraordinary events, like very high scores ('team a beats team b 5:1'), or cup finals ('team a wins the fa cup final in a tight match against team b 2:1 e.t.'), or league events ('last chance to get promoted slips away for team a as they lose 1:2 at team b').

Hello everybody !
+1 for newspaper idea
But, I think "media" is really missing to BygFoot...
Media means :
- image : image of cup won by the team. So we can have a cup gallery in bygfoot showing all cup already won by the current team.
- video : when you won a cup, show a video ?

Geovah - geovah@jabber.sk- (yes i'm french...)
If we talk about sound, what about video ?
Gstreamer is a complete media renderer, which could play sound, video...
Moreover, using it seems not so complicated, have a look at http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/d ... index.html
At least, they start to build gstreamer on windows, MacOSX...

yeah, gstreamer looks nice and is glib-related, which is a good thing.
i've realised, btw, that souds like 'gooooal!' wouldn't be very sensible since they are language-dependent. we'd need sounds that are language-independent, so just a big cheer for goals, for instance.
