I’ve mostly been working on smaller features, improvements, and bugfixes. A cool one I did is fixing weird glitchy movement with the gamepad overlay window!

Basically, the window needs to persist its position across disabling it/enabling it. And egui is immediate mode. So, every time it rendered the viewport, it would both set and get its position. So, moving it would update the current position, but because of the weird interop between setting the position in a ViewportBuilder and getting it from the viewport info, it would glitch back and forth, especially when my laptop is lagging.

I fixed it by only calling the ViewportBuilder‘s “with_position” method when the overlay had just been enabled (!was_enabled && currently_enabled). That way, it only sets it once externally, and lets it move freely while it’s open. Then, while it’s moving, it continues to update the saved position. And upon closing and then reopening it, it sets it again (but only once!)

Relatively simple fix but it’s kind of funny. I mainly noticed it when I added a feature that would auto-unmaximize the overlay when the user maximizes it, and it would go crazy and fly around the screen. Very fun!

I also fixed a pretty old bug where it would incorrectly detect the local player. Basically, the stats api doesn’t actually tell you who the local player is. So, we have to guess based on who the camera is targeting right now. Usually, it’s on the local player, but during goal replays or spectating a bot when joining a casual game, it would be improperly set at the start and then stay like that.

So, I made sure that it always updated as long as the match is 1. in progress 2. not in a replay. It also fixes a thing with inconsistent match toasts, since the toasts only fire if the scoring player is the local player (and if it thinks the wrong player is the local player, everything’s messed up).

I’m planning on revamping hotkeys next, to allow you to bind to any controller button and even do custom quickchats in-game. Later!
