Graphical User Interface Creation Editor *NEW 10-27-04*

Hello Everyone,

Some of you have heard me talk about a GUI Builder in these forums and some of you have been waiting for it. Well here it is... the alpha version anyways.

I learned a great deal while working on this project.

You can download the alpha version of G.U.I.C.E. which by now you should know what it stands for and it's pronounced "Juice".

Download G.U.I.C.E. here

I'm looking for help on this project from here on out... there is a README file included with the installation with details on how to contact me and what kind of help I'm after.

I hope this will help some of you with your projects and make Irrlicht life just a tad simpler for all of us.

The link to GUICE.rar doesn't work too. Could you post a new valid link. That would be nice.

By the way, it's the first time I post a message in this Forum. I hope you understand my English. I'm still learning.

Nice work!

One thing: half your code is drawing the grid. I wonder why you didn't just use a for loop or something to draw it...

When I used WinAce to decompress it, all I got was an XML file.

This XML file does not appear to have any style information
associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

Worked for me, prehaps try getting the file again?

I'm already looking at creating a GUI tool but haven't had the time to look at it seriously. The main thing I want to do differently is to export to an XML file, I'm not loading in some code every time my artists decide to change the GUI

I already have the framework for loading this info into an XML type file, if you are interested in creating a standard for Irrlicht then I'd be willing to help you in creating it. I think it could be interesting to be able to output to both XML and code. If not I may wait for you to develop it a bit and then port it to include the file design I made.

Nice work!
BTW, for the drawgrid() function.. why not just use a FOR-LOOP for creating all those squares? I noticed each one only moves so many units... like 10 before drawing the next square. You could use an integer ... with a for-loop.

@Cmoibelenpro:

How weird, i just downloaded it an it works ok. And it's Midnight's file.

I reuploaded it at the same link, and I uploaded a Relo version for you here:
http://www.danielpatton.com/afecelis/files/GUICE.zip

My fde file is included, but you know Relo depends on the original paths created when making the project so simply create a new project and add the files according to your file system.

cheers!

ps. Oh yes Benoit, you had # 666!!!!!
