Skinning works!
So much beauty....

The color of the metal/energy bars can be changed at will by the modder, right? Also the actual text? I don't think every mod uses metal and energy. GEM doesn't...

Since my last resource bar pic post, i have not touched 1 bit of C++ code. The skin and look is all defined in xml. So yes the modder can change it all. At the moment, even the player could change it to thier liking.

Dude wtf, you made the new GUI

BvDorp · Post by **BvDorp** » 21 Aug 2006, 11:20

Like.. is that true, domipheus? Is CEGUI implemented?

And how to shutoff the old GUI?

Could you maybe create/find some guides for the modders?

Which branch are you using, and where can I get the config files? This looks really cool.

Whoa! Dont all get too excited :)

All that is done is the resource bar.. I'm doing it part by part. Currently the old gui and new one is co-existing. I intend to use the 'game interaction' part of the old gui (like clicking units bleh bleh) as before, as the cegui handlers tell me whether or not it actually 'used' a mouse click or not. If cegui doesnt use it - the old gui code gets it.

Ive got a branch domicegui, but ive not committed my changes at yet. The code is still young and I need to make it nicer :)

But, As far as the resource bar goes, its pretty much near done. And it is really easy to create your own new skins :) The initialization is all done in a lua file, so basically if you want to change skin you justh ave to change a few paths.

Going to start on the command/construct parts tommorow i think.

Please do commit, as it's a branch it can be ugly and it would give me some rest.

They dont need mod specific gui things. They havent needed for this far either.

haha, We don't need to mod spring either. We haven't the need to mod spring before 2005.

^^^ equals, yes we want to mod the GUI as well.
the more options the better. and besides we all want that sexy looking GUI IceXuicks designed. (Though that is a little more complex then just skinning the already existing GUI).

And Domipheus, secure you lifeline. You will get sucked in the vortex of GUI in no time.

I personally would like to be able to see how much e/m I have and how much I can have.

The gui waits, it watches, looking for its chance to strike and drag you into the abyss.

I dont actually like that layout, there is no current metal value, or max metal value, and the font is too big...
As HAARP said already.

Topic 2:
I still want that i can mod mod GUI myself, make it different looking if i dont like it, etc.

It's Skinnable. That means you can change the font.
It's Skinnable. That means you can change the layout.
It's Skinnable. That means you can hide/display items at your pleasure.

(Just making sure you understand now, if the X posts above didnt make it clear enough)
