CEED snapshot5

Submitted by Kulik on

New snapshot has been released. I apologise for 3 weeks of delays. There have been many changes regarding property editing, all properties are editable using a LineEdit widget by default. Properties are also refreshed on the fly as you move the widgets or edit other properties. Both archives provide testing sample data with CEGUI 0.7 and CEGUI 0.8 datafiles.

CEED snapshot4

Submitted by Kulik on

I regard this release "quite" production ready for imagesets and layouts. Property editing might pose some trouble but other than that it should prove to be quite usable even for 0.7 layouts (though I am aware of some property related migration regressions).

Only binaries for Windows this time (due to time constrains). But I learned that using CEED through "wine" on Linux makes it work remarkably well if you don't want to compile PyCEGUI yourself for some reason.

CEED snapshot3

Submitted by Kulik on

Finally, after 2 months of development a new release is out.

Important:
Even though the splashscreen says only imageset editing implemented, snapshot3 has a lot of new layout editing functionality. In the File menu, press open project and select the "example_data/StockDatafiles.project". All layouts in the project (on the right in project manager) should work and be editable. Opening or creating other projects might or might not work, it's not being tested a lot at this point! Even though it will open (and migrate) 0.7 layouts it requires 0.8 looknfeels and schemes - full 0.7 asset support is a priority for snapshot4

Feature highlights:
- Snap grid
- Positon and size normaliser
- Reparenting
- Copy paste of entire widget hierarchies
- And more! :D

Binaries for Win32 and Linux32 (experimental, tested on 64bit Ubuntu):

Video: (doesn't contain everything in the release)

This release also contains mic tool (metaimageset compiler) and migrate tool (for migration between CEGUI asset versions). There is no documentation yet as I have no time to write one, feel free to do something in that direction if you find a spare minute (on the wiki).

is now just !!!

Enjoy! Post back any issues but please note that layout editing is still work in progress and only the shipped data is known to work for sure (File->Open project->example_data/StockDatafiles.project and then layouts/VanillaWindow.layout or the imagesets). Thanks for understanding!

CEED snapshot1

Submitted by Kulik on

Ok, I promised to release something at the end of April so there it is :-)

Video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_MtZ04bjOI

The files:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/crayzedsgui/files/CEED/snapshot1/

Features of this release:
- project management
- multi-tab, multi-file editing with separate undo stack for each file
- embedded CEGUI instance that is kept in sync with project settings

- imageset editing (more or less finished)
- everything is undoable/redoable with undo history
- image positions, sizes and offsets supported
- cycle through overlapping images
- XML editing

- preliminary layout editing (pre-alpha quality)
- SAVING doesn't work, so all layout editing is useless, it's basically just a tech demo for now
- everything is undoable/redoable with undo history
- opening CEGUI 0.8 layout files
- XML editing
- changing properties
- moving, resizing
- live preview

I probably forgot something but hopefully this got you at least a bit excited :-)

How to get this to work?
On Windows this is very simple, just download the win32 zip package, extract and run CEED.exe.
On Linux you have to download the source package, get dependencies separately and run "python entry.py" (I highly recommend reading How to get CEED from Mercurial running)

If you wish to contribute, please read How to get CEED from Mercurial running. It works for both Linux and Windows (it should work for MacOSX but I can't try that out)

Known problems of this release
1) When you open a project and close it you can't open another project, CEGUI doesn't clean after the previous project fully, as a workaround close CEED and start it again
- this is obviously annoying and will get fixed
2) the splashscreen disappears when you click it or move mouse over it, it doesn't react to mouse if it isn't over it
- this is obviously annoying and will get fixed
3) tablet mice and pens tend to have problems on both Windows and Linux (clicks not getting registered, etc...), this is a problem that started in Qt 4.6 and happens with all Qt apps, hiponboy reported this on Windows with a Wacom Bamboo tablet
4) segfault inside python when shutting down, this seems to only happen on Windows and seems to be PySide race condition issue, hopefully will be fixed in future versions, it's not that hard to trigger but doesn't happen all the time

I put a lot of work into this and would appreciate feedback! I am also desperately looking for contributors, this is a very ambitious project and requires a lot of work, if you know Python and are interested in this, please send me a message.

(I will be working on a GSoC project over the summer so I won't have much spare time but I hope to integrate external changes over the weekends and maybe hack a thing or two there and there)
