How to show Percentiles without having to log them in (1%, 97% or Adjustables) #1217

Closed luisalvarado closed 9 months ago

luisalvarado commented 9 months ago

This is not a bug, but a question or request for information. How can I show the 1%, 97% or basically set the percentiles I want to show without having to log them in. What I am trying to do is edit the current setup (Horizontal) I have at https://www.youtube.com/@xtremelinux so that it shows the graph but also shows the Percentiles next to it. Very similar to the tool that is used on Windows. Thank you.

PS: My current setting is this:

MANGOHUD_CONFIG=output_folder=/home/luis/mangohud-logs,horizontal,horizontal_stretch,frame_timing=off,frametime=off,font_size=56,gpu_name,resolution gamemoderun mangohud %command%

Have a look at fps_metrics in readme, it's a new feature coming in 0.7.1

@flightlessmango

I just read it, you blew my mind, so one last question, this would be used like this:

MANGOHUD_CONFIG=output_folder=/home/luis/mangohud-logs,horizontal,horizontal_stretch,frame_timing=off,frametime=off,font_size=56,gpu_name,resolution,fps_metrics=0.001,0.97,avg gamemoderun mangohud %command%

So that it would show

1% 97% AVG

Correct?

For the 0.7.1, I also read that the comma separated values should use + since the comma is used as a parameter separator, meaning, I should do it like this then

MANGOHUD_CONFIG=output_folder=/home/luis/mangohud-logs,horizontal,horizontal_stretch,frame_timing=off,frametime=off,font_size=56,gpu_name,resolution,fps_metrics=0.001+0.001+0.97+avg gamemoderun mangohud %command%

I ask because the documentation still says this:

Also the above shows as:

Which is AMAZING!

To be honest, I want to create a better video about mangohud. The one I did was this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5D2lpPFj-Fw but I really feel mangohud needs a much better video explaining in a more flexible way how to set it up, including using the overlay, but also easily knowing where to edit the mangohud configuration, custom parameters as seen above, which parameters overlap each other and more. As another developer I understand many things involved here but the public will not easily understand it, so maybe I can shed some light.
