GUI Questions

[Shade]

Howdy guys, these are questions for the interface programmers and designer - er, if there is one.

1: How is the GUI going to be displayed
Iin the screenshots I've seen, it's very true to the form of TA - column on the left, resources at the top. This is obviously not going to work. For instance, construction - the number of items per 'page' is small; Take into account all the TA hacks, there are hundreds of units available.

2. Will the GUI include any sort of animations
Gears moving; expand/collapse and so forth.

3. Resource bar
Is this going to be expanded/integrated with the GUI overall?

4. Are any other RTS interfaces going to be used for inspiration

5. Are we taking a minimalistic approach to the GUI overall?

Before the forums where haxxored there was a post explaining this. I dont know about aniamtion in GUI but the GUI is a skin, you have config files tellign the engine what goes where and what it does and hwo big they're to eb scaled and when they're to appear etc.

There is still a lot going on about the gui, it's not very optimal at the moment. What u see in the movies will not be final.
