Feature: UI: Show all players' full perspectives in spectate

When watching replays, have the option to show these details for all players at the same time:

• Mouse cursors
• Viewport outlines on the map, all of them
• Click+drag bandboxes
• Unit selection boxes

Also allow watching of these particular things for one specific player at a time:

• All of their viewports
• Order queues when pressing Shift
• Order queues for specific units when selected

Basically show as much of all players' perspectives at the same time as is possible, and when you simulate being one of the players, show everything they were looking at while they were playing.

It would also be handy to be able to see your teammate's mouse cursors, viewport outlines and bandbox and unit selections during actual gameplay.

If the game has a scalable UI, then everything they see should be possible to scale down to any resolution even if it's not the same aspect ratio. Just block out the non-conformant parts of the screen.

If you guys don't have time to implement this, it would be great to have access to these features from a mod, or to at least make the architectural considerations so it's not too hard to implement later.

Pretty much the communication between Client and Server is a list of orders, Sending viewpoints, cursor, selection and more would be too over the top on performance.

Re: Feature: UI: Show all players' full perspectives in spec

Not true at all. Orders are just points on the map, viewports are just coordinates and zoom levels, the cursor is one moving point and bandbox selections and unit selections are just a set of coordinates each.

It's not much information at all.
