It will hopefully not be released because it's an obvious cheat.
/me waits for 50 replies saying the contrary
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Never as long as lots of players consider it as cheat.
|
And I hope it stays like that.

yup exactly. I have my code in a class and can easily be released, just need to add one line to three different spots in shaderhud .cpp and shaders.cpp -- Exactly the same idea as saberhawks health notice code.
However due to the issue of many people thinking it is a cheat I wont be releasing it anytime soon.

using it is a cheat too you know.. 
|
theres no global statement that it is a cheat.
And to my knowledge, most servers have not officially confirmed it as being a cheat.
And , ontop of it all, n00bstories has yet to officially confirm it is a cheat, which is the only server i play on.
A lot of people think it is a cheat, and a lot others don't.
**edit***
To further my point on the mixed opinions:

Agreed. It's already available so it's not a cheat >.> It just saves one key-stroke. Only downside is it can clutter your display minimizing your view of the battlefield.
Although...if you could make it so when you press 'K', it shows it on the HUD rather than displaying a whole new screen...that'd be a nice feature.  (and compromise imho)

I haven't been able to figure out keyhooks client side through shaders.dll so that can't be done yet Also thats starting to push into the "toggle" kind of things which would support the argument of it being a cheat

I haven't been able to figure out keyhook client side through shaders.dll yet... not sure if it is possible. But even still, a "toggle" would be helpful to those making the argument that it is a cheat

It's also possible to make it with the toggle, similar to pressing "k" so all you see is a black background or something similar with the building health meters.
This in my opinion would be acceptable by almost all peoples standards. But the thing is, I doubt anyone would want it then. The reason they want it is because it's an advantage, implementing it in the manor suggested with a key press toggle would remove that advantage and become less appealing to people.
Even if this version was to be released, it doesn't really matter because the person releasing it would also need to release the source code under the license agreement. That means it could be editted very very simply to not have to press the keyboard, and remove the black.
There's no way with a clear conscience a programmer could release it.
That isn't to say no one will, but it'll come from one of the "shadier" guys (pardon the excellent pun).

Yup , its also not just the idea of the building bars themselves, but that it shows a few techniques that could expand much further then just building health.

The idea is was born, pushed up and lots of people want it.
It is just matter of time in my opinion until somebody releases it somewhere but I will not be the one, so stop asking me or cAmpa.
