I recompiled spring using the 0.65b2 code with the new GUI define.
It looks alright but it's lacking in a certain finesse, for example:
Selecting builders doesnt always bring up the build menu if you've just selected orders menu on another unit, the postgame statistics dont show any data or it didnt in the game I played.
A freak fluke after taking control of my commander in fps mode meant my commander wouldnt respond to commands, and I was able to select the commander with my mouse while I was controlling a zipper and give it commands.
In fps mode I could fire at anything even my own units.
Thre's no kills/losses like in OTA either, no pause menu or anything at all save a console message.
You couldnt tell what the unitmaximum and how many units you had if you forgot what it said in the battlescreen, otherwise you still had to ctrl+a at which point ti didnt tell you how many units you had selected.
You cant resize the minimap.
The 100% transparent panel that the GUI command buttons sit on cant be moved, and you cant select thigns behidn ti when it isnt showing.

I must say, it needs time and work but it's not crashing the game.....

Yep ok thats understood according to SJ there is a GUI in the work but they havnt heard from Jau for awile.

So we going to wait for that one to come out or shell work on the Test GUI thats in Fileuniverse?

The test GUI looks really nice but like you said it needs alot of time and work.

The testGUi in fileunvierse is from an older version fo spring I think and is out of date. Work on the code in the CVS.

This is your fault gnome.
Actually they should code it to ban you from using it.

Ahem see fileunvierse or the AI forum, I released a version with NewGUI activated bundled with NTAI so everyone could see for themselves.
