Just a quick look, this should not use GradientText, neither required nor optional.

GradientText was made for end-user, or maybe for some systems are still okay. But for a multiboard? It's a no.

You could add a function that able to edit multiboard's specific cell's value, just like title, team name, player names, row headers (K, D , CD, etc). Perhaps it's not that important but then you don't need to require GradientText at all, just show user how to add gradation effect at demonstration.
This is one example function:

JASS:

call ChangeTitle(GradientText("0xcode...BLABLABLA...0xcode"))
// Function to change your multiboard title

But for the best solution, just remove it completely.

Good luck.

EDIT:
I didn't notice that you got already the functions

JASS:

*       - static method setTitle takes string title returns nothing
*           - Change the current title to all multiboards (12 players).
*       - static method setTeamName takes thistype teamIndex, string teamName returns nothing
*           - Change a team name.

thanks, for the next version I'll put GradientText as optional :ogre_hurrhurr:

1) This system is designed to run on any map. (1,2,3,4,5 teams....) so called AdaptiveMultiboard.

2) The system has configurable options to your needs.

omg! where are the moderators of this section? almost a month and still do not rating this system!

Well this is an easy review

Finish it, then we can talk

oh Nestharus

I thought you were retired?

well the update is finish...

IcemanBo · Jan 27, 2015

The multiboard looks cool in game.

But some notes:

As only playing players are registered, you probably also should kick leaving player of the multiboard. Or at least making it possible.
You could make it configurable if MbItems should be only for allies or not. Like for resources/items:
JASS:
```
if IsPlayerAlly(p,p1) == booleanVariable then
    // call MbSetItemValue ...
endif
```
Is the timer really needed in syncUnit? Why you don't directly call the update?
You make some MB item names configurable like "K", "D" "Team". But for me the logical consequense if that the item's width should depend on the length of the string. Else it just might look strange if user changes it.
You should add some documentation what to do in your item/unit libs. Also some minimum docu in main code is very appreciated.
It's okay that you do, but timers that will be released anyway don't need to be nulled. Just as note.
In startCooldown method you debug pring " countdown already started" if the given cooldown is lower or equal 0. But isn't it just given a negative paramater? Why does it mean cooldown has already started?

For a general "adaptive multiboard" I miss a bit of modularity and dynamic, but for dota like games it might be fitting.

What is also a problem for now, that all dependencies should be approved before the resource that uses it can be approved. I know moderators are not very active at the moment in JASS section. I appeal for some patience.

-Kobas- · Jan 27, 2015

This code is just huge. I remember coding flexible multiboard in like a 100-150 lines, not 500.
Also you don't even need required libraries.
Updates should be placed outside multiboard script, just provide interface to it. In other words, multiboard design should be coded in a way to provide specific data container, where data handling is done from the outside world.

Trigger.edge · Jan 27, 2015

@-Kobas-: Dota multiboard use more that 500 lines (much more).... anyway, I have not seen such a complete multiboard like this or like Combat Multiboard System of Magtheridon96....

@IcemanBo: I work on next update.

-Kobas- · Jan 27, 2015

Dota isn't perfect. Also it's coded in pure jass not vjass.

Trigger.edge · Apr 4, 2015

New update.

CaptainHero · Apr 15, 2015

Would like to have an option that the items from enemy teams don't show

With reading the comments I got several critiques:

JASS:

/*
*   One could say that the system is still in beta phase, in previous versions 
*   I found a lots of bugs that i fixed with success. Maybe this version contains 
*   some bugs.

^What about this?

^That's also not cool.

JASS:
JASS:

/*AdvBoard (AdvanceMultiboard) is designed to work in any map

^I don't agree with that. The multiboard seems to be designed for dota-like maps only.
"AdvBoard" seems not the best this. It isn't really flexible/dynamic enough to be called "advanced multiboard".

Also note the limitations of the system if you already note the "pros". For example it works for 1 unit/player.

Featues could be optional and changeable as mentioned in other posts before.
~~Changing the column titles doesn't make much sense, because the cell width is static.~~
The config for cell's width could be more attracted, it's somewhere in code, and user won't even notice it probably.

IcemanBo · Apr 23, 2015

Need an answer + you noted anyway you wil bring more dynamic. (local visibility for icons)

Awaiting update.

It is only a requirement for the system to work properly, I see no evil here xd? Remember it is a multiboard that adapts to any map, so it is necessary.

ok, maybe yes, but I plan to implement more features such as life/mana unit and functions to customize the multiboard such as show/hide the gold, lumber, food, items, etc......

Respect to name of the system; I do not agree with you :ogre_haosis:
