nice!
not sure if it's worth .99 cents but it's a good idea!

A neat idea to help newer medics, but when both of your hands are busy playing its gonna be difficult to take one hand off to tap the skull. Is it possible to make it voice activated?

Honestly it's easier to just look at your own uber percentage and see what it's at when the enemy medic spawns. That's roughly the advantage you are gonna have.

Voice activation is definitely something I can look into.

Id rather keep track in my head then pay a dollar tbh

That's pretty sweet, and definitely worth the money I'd say.

If you're poor like me and don't have a nice phone, just remember that 2 seconds = 5 percent for regular uber. With that in mind the math is pretty easy to do in your head in game. 2s = 5%, 4 = 10, 6 = 15, and so on. (So, if their medic spawned 12 seconds before you, he has around a 30% advantage for example.)

Yes! Finally an excuse to hire an assistant for playing TF2!

The idea is kind of neat, but the app requests far too many permissions for what it does.
Please do not request permissions you do not need.

EDIT: I don't know how to make the spoiler tag not take up so much space, sorry. :<

Yes! That's totally my mistake! I was wondering if anyone would even notice. I'll fix that!

EDIT: Fixed! It's propagating now, may take a couple hours to complete.

What a horrible idea. Using anything that needs you to take your hands off your mouse or movement keys is just asking to get dropped. For any medic who actually want to get good, don't use this. Tracking uber isn't even hard.

i dont think its something that is supposed to be used forever, i think its just for newer medics who would rather focus on their positioning and not counting ubers, i guess you could say this app is kind of like training wheels?

When I was playing medic I used a free stopwatch timer that I just found online through google. I could overlay it so it was on top of my tf2 window at all times, and I was able to bind keys on my keyboard to start, stop, and reset the timer.

Wouldn't "bind r timeleft" be easier?
(And cheaper)

Guys, he's a new developer, making stuff for TF2. Give him a break.

dont have to be such a asshole about it.
think about the way to say your opinion before you press enter dude

I remember when Lopert made a script like this and a whole bunch of people got really mad.

No, they are not like training wheels. The beauty about training wheels is that they are seamless, giving it's user more room for error without changing the fundamentals of bike riding.

This app is quite the opposite. It is not seamless, quite obtrusive and greatly changes the fundamentals of proper uber tracking. This app requires you to take your eyes away from your monitor(!), remove your hand from your mouse or keyboard(!) leaving you vulnerable to dropping and/or restricted movement, tapping your phone(let's hope it registers), and then reposition your hand and eyes.

This app teaches bad habits, opens up room for error and is clearly the wrong approach for teaching medics how to track uber. Using this app is comparable to texting on your phone every ~50 second while swerving through traffic.

If he's going to be a developer, he better be okay with criticism.

except using this app doesn't risk the life of you and the drivers around you

Actually, yes, it does.

I'm going along the highway at 60 miles an hour and I look down at this TF2 app to tell me what the med's percentage is. I'm not looking at the road, thus endangering people around me.

Hooli's points are valid, I think. Let's just leave out the vitriol and focus on what matters. I certainly cannot solve the fact that this app requires the medic to temporarily remove his/her hand from the keyboard or his/her eyes from the screen, so I just tried to make it as easy as possible interact with the app so the player could get back to the game.

But if the time AFK is too much, I think that's a valid critique.

nice job dude, regardless of practicality.

Tyrone said back when he actually played that he and his med would watch stvs, and count in their heads then compare vs the actual uber. THAT is how you learn how to count. Keep in mind that you can disable spectator hud

Someone needs to find that thread.

is this it???

Pretty sure it was on GotFrag.

I think a much more important thing is teaching all of your team how to track ubers. Just having the medic do it is kind of a dumbass idea. While it's a good intention, and great that you coded it. It's better to get in the habit of pressing tab for when the med spawns, and keeping track the old fashioned way.

If you really want to do something like this I suggest you do it with macros on your keyboard/mouse (all keyboards with macro functions should have some sort of timing command).

Alternatively, you can knock up a quick autohotkey script if you don't have programmable macros.

Lastly, the best way to do it is simply press tab and look at the game time and minus 40 or 30 seconds, and reference that with your own uber percentage. Getting into this habit will, firstly, familiarise yourself with hitting tab (which all new player struggle with) and secondly to make it a reflex so you know the uber percentage all the time in the back of your head.

nothing sinister in loperts script, its a staple q3tdm script ported over to tf2 where it is significantly less useful. not sure why anybody would be upset about a script that requires manual intervention to communicate a number to your teammates
