Spring RTS Engine

Basically what the title says.

I would like for my players to be able to, at the click of a button, pull up a gameplay/unit guide, complete with pictures etc etc etc.

I imagine this wouldn't be all that hard to implement as all the widget needs to be is pretty much a window with a darkish background that referances some sort of file to be displayed.

As I said, ability to show pictures is a plus if not a necessity.

25% does highlight unit widget while pressing space! :D

See a widget quantum is making in CA.

It's gui_rooms, you can find it in the CA sandbox, which is bundled with SVN builds ( http://files.caspring.org/snapshots/latest.zip.php ). The room_unitInfo script for gui_rooms is kinda what you're describing:

It's still far from finished, though.

Honestly, all I want is 1 page that allows me to describe gameplay and how to play the game. Nothing too complicated

Sounds simple enough to be someone's first widget

Ok, that's not very helpful.
If you find me in #lua, I'll help you through it.

A lua build menu that had the big images like in that screen of the kbot lab and perhaps some info on each would serve as a great replacement for our current build menu.

work in progress

Oh fucking sweet! That is perfect BigHead! Thank you!

Very nice :)

How much formatting control do we have on that?

In terms of dividing the information up into tables, etc, navigation handling, etc, etc?

*word wrapping
*you can change the color of your text
*vertical scrolling
*easily customizable (background color, size, etc ...) and modification-friendly
*there will be 6 tags:
<title>
<image> - "floating" will be supported
<link> - equivalent to <a href>
<heading> - equivalent to <h1>, <h2> ... you can set the size
<li>
<include> - includes another page eg.:navigation at the bottom

and that's all, this is ingame help not mozila firefox

Dude, that is perfect! Thank you!

Me == Very Excited

Any News on this?

My semester started on monday and I was quite busy whole week. However I managed to do some work on it today and will release a beta version.

Okay, that quanta thing looks Awesome but I can't imagine playing with all that on the screen simultaneously like that so I assume you typically would have one or two of those frames at any given time.

For the "HTML" like widget... I mean your right it's simple but thats all we really need to start out... and get a simple help tool working.
