CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

This touches on a whole new aspect for GUI systems, that of laying out the elements dynamically. There are two options: Arrange on load, or Arrange on the fly during update. Arrange on load is really just a helper that "distills" down to a standard coordinate once finished. It makes it a b...

This has my vote too. Should definitely be done for the next release.

I've done a small change which I think is beneficial for the editor when making layouts that aren't pure-scale. Rather than the resizing always changing the scale, or always the offset, an "auto" method is possible. This means: - If the offset is 0, change the scale - Otherwise, change the...

I got the latest CELayoutEditor and there are two changes that need to be made to get it to work with wxWidgets 2.8.0. I've made up a patch, but I can't find the appropriate area to submit it. Alternatively, I may be able to dig up SVN access since I think I had it at one point. I've got a few thing...

You can already do this by redirecting loaded strings when layouts are read in. So for example, the layout may have a label "cmd_quit" which the application can convert as "Quit" or "@$@(!%" or whatever. Here is the code I've used before: bool GuiLayoutPropertyCallback&...

The ScriptingModules directory seems to be missing from the binary windows release - its in the full 0.5.0 source release though. Under the root, not \include though. Lua scripting functions still seem to need an integer returned, which would be more general as a string that the app tests for whatev...

I would prefer a 0.5.1 sort of release rather than another year-long milestone. It would have no major interface refactoring, and 0.5.0 code would work with it. Instead, focus would be on: - TreeView widget, and any other other missing ones - Common dialog support, perhaps as pure layout xml files. ...

Good to see you are making progress. I've wanted to switch over to the general widget names for a while, but haven't quite found the time to pore over the alias scheme changes and try to update all my datafiles. So alas, I'm stuck with the "TaherezLook/" prefix for now on everything. As fo...

Just looking at fps is a terrible measure of timing - alarming initial drops can correspond to very little real cost.

500fps = 2ms
360fps = 2.778ms
25fps = 40ms

So these 80 elements are taking 0.7ms to render. This is perfectly acceptable. You have 37ms left if your target is 25fps.

Just a note on the lua module, there exists a problem with the executeScriptFile: // load file RawDataContainer raw; System::getSingleton().getResourceProvider()->loadRawDataContainer( filename, raw, resourceGroup); // load code into lua and call it int top = lua_gettop(d...

The solution i think about is to add a field with the base path who is automaticly updated with the path of the imageset when you load it, and is used as reference for the image file. Hmm, I'm not sure that will work in my case. Consider this set of paths: Base Dir = c:\projects\mygame\bin Imageset...

I'm very impressed by this tool. A couple of points I noticed immediately: - There is no explanation on how to zoom the image. - The auto-selection of regions gets annoying and could be replaced with a "click to select" scheme. - I have problems with the imageset paths. I can't run this on...

Ok thanks. Is it checked into a CVS branch by any chance, or do we really have to wait until 0.5 to get our hands on it?

I'm starting to use lua and cegui together. I've found executeScriptGlobal requires the function to return an integer, otherwise it throws an exception. I find this behaviour somewhat constricting - for instance, many functions I would like to call do not return any value, and I don't like the idea ...

Downloading the latest layout editor and trying to compile with my CEGUI gives some compile errors, apparently due UDims and the elimination of functions like Window::setPosition(metricsmode, point).

Is this correct, and if so has anybody updated the layout editor with this in mind?
