Spring RTS Engine

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.

Aye. Ask Pius II. Hes in charge of that bit. THat reminds me. Must finish my sketches for FPS mode for him to look at.

Do we have a GUI wishlist?
