CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

Here's some shots of the UI from "Salvation Prophecy", which uses CEGUI.

Hi Jabberwocky,

i stumpled upon your message on the Ogre forums the other day, but since you also post here, i cannot resist to reply

Your projects look really good. Gui wise, i especially like how you seem to have a sort of connectors between your different windows. Great that you choose Cegui!

The whole look of the game has a professional feeling. Keep it up!

Looks nice already!

Looks very nice indeed. Good job to you / your team.

But with such a good looking UI, you are doing it a disservice with that cursor; it is extremely difficult to see in some of the screen shots - cursors need to stand out! I know your artist(s) could make a better one!

The whole GUI looks really good though. Keep it up.

Wow! That looks really awesome - I agree with what scriptkid said in that it's a nice professional looking job.

The best part is that it doesn't "look" like CEGUI

Thanks to Crazy Eddie and the CEGUI team!

Thanks for using CEGUI, and for allowing us to see what you've done with it.

CE.

Nice job on the GUI.

I just stumbled upon this thread, saw the Videos from your main website, and I must say... WOW!

For a game made in Ogre3D and using CEGUI, I must say this game is awesome!
I will agree with scriptkid, the connectors on those GUIs are pretty neat.

One thing I'm wondering is...
when you open your inventory... you have each box show up in a sequence until they are all done loading. Can I ask how you went about that?
Did you just load the background GUI, then gradually loaded each "blank" button GUI in a loop, then finally showed the content of the INVO after it was done loading?
Now THAT was really cool, IMHO.

Anyways, I might give this game a spin when you guys finish it. =D

BTW, how long did it take you guys to reach this point, and with how many team members?

Hey Dredogol,

About the inventory sequence:
Yeah, it's pretty much what you said. Each separate UI screen in my game has it's own .layout file, and .cpp/.h file. So, I have "inventory.layout" which defines all the widgets and their positions. And I have UIInventory.cpp/.h which grabs pointers to all the interactive widgets, CEGUI::Window*, CEGUI::Button*, etc. Every UIScreen class in my game supports Activate(), Deactivate(), and Tick() functions, where Tick() is just a per-frame call where the UIScreen can do whatever work it wants to. So for the inventory sequence, I just mark the time at which the UI was activated, and move/fade in all the widgets as needed during the Tick() update function. It just uses the setPosition and setAlpha functions.

I've been working on the game for about 2 years now. Although more like a a year and a half for the old screenshots and videos you've seen. I'm working on it full-time. I'm the only full-time member, but I have some awesome people helping out on the artwork (UI, models).

Thanks for your comments!
