I have a very strong feeling about this "feature"

CopyPasta from official COH3 Forums:

My interest in COH games has always been competitive PvP MP. I can understand that most people don't want to tell their units every movement individually when playing SP or AI battles. But when it comes to competitive play I want to have full control over my units. This includes the decision to vault or not vault.
One of the most frustrating features for me in current COH2 is the "auto seek cover" --> for those who don't know what I am talking about:
Units seek yellow and green cover automatically. This can result in units not capping points, because they leave the capture circle for that sweet sweet crater just outside. Even worse they clump up in the precious cover and get easily wiped by stray indirect fire, such as mortar rounds. I would be glad if this "feature" were to be removed from PvP MP in current COH2 as it has heavy rage potential (for me anyways). I fear the "auto-vaulting" will be much the same, if not worse...

TLDR: In PvP MP please leave unit control in the players hands. Don't include any more "auto" functions even if you think they work great. I want to give my untis orders and expect them to do exactly what they are told. I have no need for having to guess what the game thinks it should let them do...

If you understand what I wrote, please post a simple "YES" here so I can leave this site forever.

BLACK ADMINS: if 10 people post yes here, please delete my account from Coh2.org.

YES I understand your point of view. However, it is oversimplified and drastically exaggerated. The game is perfectly playable. Yes, matchmaking is not optimal but I rather get "unfair" games from time to time than having to wait several minutes...

ok so here it is




download at
https://github.com/coh2-org/MakoCelo/releases/tag/v5.1-alpha-overlay

so to turn on overlay you need to check "Toggle Overlay" and start Auto Scan. When new players are detected the overlay shows for 30 seconds and after that should disappear.

Now there are other files besides exe because i had to use external libraries.

this is how it looks for now so feel free to make bug reports and suggestions for further improvements
(for me the best place is here https://github.com/coh2-org/MakoCelo/issues)

Much love to you from a grateful user!
I will test it and report any issues on github

I started integrating https://github.com/michel-pi/GameOverlay.Net which is less resource intensive.

but with such overlays there is one problem .

Game must use windowed mode (can be borderless expanded on full screen) ! Overlay won't render in typical full screen mode. Such thing would require hooking into game libraries.

For me personally it's not a problem but maybe there are some people just can't use windowed mode or just don't like it

This is awesome news! I use windowed mode already for the reason that I have only 1 monitor and can easily switch to different applications during search.

So this would be exactly what I am looking for. You could maybe have this feature selectable in UI so people with windowed mode can toggle it on if wanted.

EDIT: For everybody who wants to activate windowed mode. You can use these starting options for COH2 in steam: -nomovies -window -fullwindow -forceactive -lockMouse

Also you don't have to be quite so advanced in detecting when the loading is done. Simply show it for 30 seconds once a game is found. That would be easy to implement and perfectly fine for me as the user!
