Spring RTS Engine

Ok, I hate the gui, I don't like the icequick version either(it is nice and has nice features but not my style)

I need some help, can someone tell me where do I get started?

Here is what I need to be able to do:

--rearrange build pictures.
--separate the command buttons and place my custom ones on a specific location.
--move the build pics to a new location

I will not need page buttons or the like.

thanks in advance.

What exactly do you not like about IceUI? If it's just optics maybe we can get together and make it skinnable..

If you want to make an own build/commands menu, you'll probably need the CommandsChanged call-in and the widgetHandler:GetCommands() pseudo call-out..

I don't like the layout. That and I have something different planned for gundam and the spring gui will not work.

what I am currently doing would be ill suited for the iceuick stuff aswell. all I need is the ai button and the units in my build list in tower defense. Otherwise I have 3 custom buttons.

It is a good ui for the tastuff but as the games in spring become more and more divergent we are going to need our on ui. which means I have to learn that part of lua also.

I understand.. You could still use the IceUI framework if you want to.. It provides the basic window functionality as moving and resizing in Tweak-Mode, saving options, easier definition of mouse actions.. If you're interested, just PM me in the Lobby..

Either way you'll have to be a bit more specific about what you already know about Lua and what you'd like to know..

I am just getting started. already playing with several gui elements but I am still unsure/ignorant on a lot of the call outs. I haven't found anything for refrence. I am about to download the source again.
