I've done on-screen string input before. This is from an old project from 2008 which I am not working on anymore...

Oh that's cool, Nash! I'm still struggling to get the mouse cursor to move on a menu I'm working on. Although I should admit I got a bit discouraged and went back to the mapping so everything the menu controls is ready for scripting.

Any chance of seeing the source on this?
Holy topic-bump, Nash. =P

But yeah, I'm sure the source to this would be useful. If not, then I know of a certain in-development project that might serve as an adequate replacement...though I'm unsure if I'm at liberty to discuss the details.
NEVAR! :P


The many sekrits of blackfire will never be revealed! Such as the secret that I'm building a fully mp-compatible framework for building and managing dialog and shop menus!

Drat! I ruined it again :?

Is somebody waiting for it? :-) I've lost the sources, so i started to make a new version of GUI. The main disadvantage of old version is that it was too hardcoded so the addition of new widgets was too difficult.

I am interested. :) Would love to see your new rewrite and - if you don't mind - the sources too. :D

Very nice! Will the libraries be easy to adapt for other projects?

This is the main goal of this project - you could use this library in other projects to make in-game GUI's. And it could be easily expanded with new sets of widgets - all you need is to specify is how your widget will interact with others and how it should react on system calls(mouse clicking, moving etc.)

I hope you haven't abandoned this, I'm still interested (as I'm sure others are too), more so now that this has been implemented. :D

This is awesome!
Are there close buttons for dialog coded in?
Amazing work here, I've been waiting for this.

The removing of the created GUI isn't possible yet, but you may just hide you window if you will clear GF_ENABLED + GF_VISIBLE bit flags from it's GE_FLAGS field :roll:
Anyway, it's needs more documentation to work easily.

Here's a modified slade.pk3 from Slade v3.0.2, I modified "config/launguages/acs.txt" to highlight all of the constants and functions in this so far.
I find Slade's highlighting and syntax notifications helpful, this is for others that do too.
