agui-menus-pre-alpha-0.03.1

Updated.

Version "menus.cfg" with "Additional gui".

(with "menus.cfg" of svn-rev-4125 (post release 1.3). non-work with oldest source).

Changelog:

agui-menus-pre-alpha-0.03.1

* Updated to upstream.
* Fix "boxes" names to "RE"-menus-compatible.
* Added menus.diff file to archive.

agui-menus-pre-alpha-0.03

* Replaced clouds and skybox from sky.
* Fixed text size in other environment tabs (very small without fix).


Note:

Sub-Tabs in "sky" is non-pure "guitabs" - this is emulation:
( Code problem ( "addtional gui" is "function based"
- function parameters conflicted from parallel execute of "guitab") and
increase script size with pure "guitabs").


Usage (example):

Safe original "menus.cfg" in custom place.
Copy file "menus.cfg" to "/redeclipes/data/".


Note:

"agui" from "menus.cfg" not identical original "agui".

That looks very useful, thanks for taking the time to make it.

I don't really map much, so I can't say anything about the use, but it definitely looks great. I hope it has been worth the time you put in it and others will be able to use it well.

S.E.S,
I think you will help folks better realize their creative vision with this script, especially those intimidated by console commands. I haven't run it myself yet but let me just say that it looks from the pictures like you've done a good job with it.
Cheers

What this guy said.

I've had a go running it and there a lots of options in there that I hadn't realised were available. It would be nice to see these menus added to the next release as it would help make mapping accessible to more people.

The GUI look nice and I would love to see them integrated in a future version of Red Eclipse.

There are a few issues that in my opinion would have to be taken care of for it to be integrated in RE though:

• Integrating agui with the existing editing menu.
  In order to avoid duplication and keeping things consistent I think it would be a good idea to integrate these bits into the existing editing menu structure, I think it might be possible to just add all the tabs of agui to the existing "Environment" section:
  http://minus.com/lhV7HojqWguoA
  
  
• Rework the structure a bit.
  I was thinking doing something like this (but that's just a quick idea):
  http://minus.com/lQEfhqbzXdP5
  
  
• Please use (4-spaces) indentation.
  In order to keep the coding style resonably consistent with current cubescript in RE, please add indentation and line breaks where appropriate, see the existing cubescript files for examples.

This is looking very nice man! now that many players start mapping, it would be awesome to have this in v1.3, so I hope you are able to make the changes like arand mentioned. Maybe it's not a bad idea to check in on IRC to talk with jojo about this. He is the guy who did the editing menu we have in v1.2.

Thank you and good luck with this.

This is Pre-alpha version. Gui non-complete. Other functions in work (other environment, particles, sounds, etc...).
Say Me, please, your suggestions and etc...

If you keep on working on this it will definitely make it easier for anyone to dive in to the more advanced features of the editor.

Updated with "menus.cfg" of svn-rev-3765 (download 24.07.2012). Non-work with oldest source. Check your svn-redeclipse snapshot or use first "agui-menus download link" for "RE-1.2" and oldest snapshots.

Nice work, by the looks of it

S.E.S {l Wrote}:Updated with "menus.cfg" of snv (24.07.2012). Non-work with oldest source. Check your svn-redeclipse snapshot .

Hmm, 0.2.1 for me still has the issue that the top tabs end up too high, so they're off screen.

I was thinking you could actually remove the last line of tabs (skyboxes, cloudboxes, cloudlayers, envlayers) altogether, since they mainly serve the same purpose as the previous level of tabs, right?

When looking at the code you have, I'm noticing that agui adds 1000 lines of script to menus.cfg, that's a 1/3 increase in size for just agui, I think that that might be quite a bit over the top... I'm hoping some cubescript fellows might have some ideas on how to reduce that down, maybe speak to RaZgRiZ on IRC, since he did the recent cleanup of a lot of the menu code.

Fixed, thanks.

Done (only for "agui-menus" version).

Done. Size decreased by about 10 kilobytes. A further reduction without addressing the functional part ineffective.

Additional gui v0.04-pre-alpha (updated):

* Added entities main support (with find).
* Added other environment support (non-complete).
* Added "Grab" function for change colour.
* Styles and messages fixes.
* Other fixes and additionals.

Additional gui v0.04.1-pre-alpha (updated):

* Fixed autoedit parameters bug.

Helpful in editing. Also I thanks for taking the time to make it.

Additional gui v0.05-pre-alpha (updated for Red Eclipse 1.3):

* Fixed for "RE" upstream updates.
* Updated environment settings.
* Updated grabber.
* Fixed parameters for entity type changes.
* Styles and messages fixes.

Looks nice, could be included in the official game in some way; however you should remove the capitals (eg. Cloudbox to cloudbox) so that it fits RE's menus which do not start sentences with a capital.

Great to see advanced features in the GUI. This should really be merged with the main GUI that RE has already. Maybe talk to Quin or Jojo to implement it further, see what has to be done, but I know that GUI is a sensitive topic because there is talk about a rewrite or something?

Updated.

This is really neat. Well done. 4000+ lines of cubescript and you are still sane. I am going to enjoy having a play.
