CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

Glad to hear. I am still using CEGUI in my engine, so I will send PR if I develop something useful. But I have no context of 1.0 development direction so I will continue to use 0.8. If someone will start active development and needs help with some clearly defined tasks then I think I could help. Tha...

Hi all.

What is the project status now? Is it completely abandoned or we can still count on some further releases in a year or two?

Do you still need tinyxml2 4.0.1 release PR for cegui-dependencies? I see the lib is already in repo.

Thanks a lot for the explanation. I will try it the next time I have something useful to share.

If so, I am completely OK with moving to it. I am happy with my local CEGUI version right now, all works as I want, but if you make some changes on drawMode I will get them from v0.

Nevermind, it is a language barrier. Sometimes it makes me specify really obvious things)
Second PR is ready for your review.

I can switch to v0 if it is not too different from v0-8. I just finished more-than-year rewriting of all my low-level graphics code and really don't want to reimplement my CEGUI renderer etc again right now. I still hope to write some actual game code until I get too old.

In what case would you call a GeomtryBuffer::draw() function directly? I never do that, but if you call GUIContext::draw(opaque | transparent), then in GeometryBuffer::draw() you don't know is this particular buffer opaque or transparent, and therefore you can't select appropriate rendering params....

Yes, when we render a geometry buffer it is crucial to know whether it is rendered opaque or not to setup render state accordingly. What you suggest will work per GUIContext::draw(), not per GeometryBuffer::draw(), but for now it is a solution.

It finally works! Thanks. I will describe implementation details there for others who may want to use a new feature. 1. I had to add 'OpaqueMode' flag to my renderer, otherwise I can't get information about draw mode inside a GeometryBuffer::draw(). Possibly this may be reworked in future versions t...

A say it just to note that I understand what I do I added myself into a contributor list, but I didn't see anybody wrote a brief description of his/her project. Do you mean a description of contribution?

I waive my copyright on this work and you can use it without restrictions. You may need to change parser description string and add the parser into a build system. If I can do something to improve this commit, please tell me. I have no experience of contributing into open-source projects so I may do...

Done The most strange thing is that I must fork and clone the whole CEGUI just to propose an addition of a couple of files.

I have experience with Perforce, SVN and Git, but since first two have no PR concept and I used Git only as a single developer, I never touched this part of the system.

Ok, I will update my code to conform to other parsers and then I will do pull request. Good chance to learn how to do it at all
