Option to see how the opponent sees you

[esparver73]

I think it would be quite useful to have a button option that allows you to see how your opponent sees you.

Of course, keeping privacity of the opponent's own concealed and hidden units and such.

But when preparing a setup with many hidden units, concealments, hidden fortifications and units above or under them, etc. it's fairly easy to forget to conceal/hide some unit under a ton of other units and then your opponent can see them and spoil the effort. So this button would simply show you how the opponent is seeing your units (hiding away all hidden units and blocking concealed units, basically), so you can do your final setup check.

How do you feel about it?

Thanks!

Easy to achieve.
Simply change your password and you will see it like your opponent does.
Important yo know your password to go back though!

Good idea.

Vinnie's workaround will meet that objective, but a button towards the same end might be a nice addition.

Don’t count on seeing such a button anytime soon. Working with HIP counters is a PITA in VASL/VASSAL. And Vinnie’s solution is simple and effective.

Anyone is free to work on this but I think it is unlikely. YVMV.
