Add Unit Count and Damage Display Outline
-
@redrum It all looks so good I can hardly bear it.
As far as a default it hard to say... I normally use between 16 - 24. But now with the outline making the numbers more distinctive I might be inclined to reduce them down.
Having it settable per map would be nice. Not sure whether that is an easy fix or more of getting into an major commitment. One idea would be to be to have it scaled based on the unit size or unit scale settings. (not really sure whether that would make it easier or harder to accomplish).
Either way... just seeing this get resolved this quickly is a much appreciated step in the right direction.

I'm leaning towards increasing the font size default to 16 and see if I end up with a revised players rebellion
Ideally, these should be a per map not global setting. That would be a bit more work than I wanted to do at the moment though. Mostly a lot of copy and pasting to create new map properties, remove the global settings, and wire it up. Not difficult but would take a few hours probably. Good feature request and something a new developer to the project could probably tackle.

@redrum just wanted to say Nice Work ! Huge Improvement !
Fwiw I use 16 font on the global map. It's no big deal to change but probably look better to new players. Revised is pretty popular though, so yea, don't wanna bum those guys out : )

@beelee Nice thing is it's just a default. There is nothing to stop a player to find their own preference.

OMG omg omg omg! The new numbers look incredible!
Awesome new addition. This improves the definition and visibility of the numbers immediately.
Stunning work!

I've it at 24 most of the time, as I said, and I actually think that after the addition of the outline it is even more opportune to have it at 24 or so. Since the outline has to be 1 pixel, having the size smaller than 24 makes the outline on the number look dirty (to me), in some cases, because of the much too visible pixellated effect.
So, just wanted to say that I like this change, but it surely doesn't push me to use smaller numbers, since the outline evidences the pixelated effect, you inevitably have when getting too small (but 24 looks great).
However, as far as distinctiveness goes, this is an improvement anyways.
