CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

Hi,
we've been working on a free (probably to be open source when done) WW1 flight sim. See a menu screenshot below, or if you'd prefer to see the game, check http://tinyurl.com/flyingsamurai (includes video).

We are working on a rather tight schedule, and would like to inquire whether anybody would be willing to help us with either skinning/falagard or menu design (ie background and some skin). None of us has any previous CEGUI experience and we probably won't have enough time to learn falagard to skin it properly before the project is due (April). So if anybody feels like (s)he'd like to do it for some reason (especially the falagard thing, we'd need combos, buttons, static texts, lists, editboxes; but a good designer is always welcome), we'll try to help as much as we can. We're just trying to be straight with you, not to be arrogant any help is appreciated.

Also, as for our experiences with cegui, there are some quirks (refilling a combo and selecting an item programmatically doesn't generate an selected/accepted event afaik(grrr!), combo box size not specifyiable in the editor (both the text box part and the drop down part, not sure whether it's the editor or CEGUI, menu is (programming-wise) simply not a priority right now ) , lack of horizontal/vertical variations (for a mature project, well...), simply put, it doesn't work out of the box, but we're obviously happy we can use it and are grateful somebody is working on it



thanks and keep up the work, Jan / Flying Samurai project

Hi,

With regard to some of those issues raised, mostly these are issues of looknfeel rather than the CEGUI library itself (i.e. the sizing of combobox parts, the vertical or horizontal orientation of elements, and so on). While that may seem like an odd distinction to make, it's highly important since the data files and such that accompany the lib are solely intended to provide some basic examples; they do not - and are not intended to - demonstrate every conceivable option and/or configuration available.

CE.

Thank you for pointing that out, CE. And thanks again for putting your (and the others for putting their) work in it.

No problem. I hope you get some people who are able to help you out, and wish you the best of luck in developing your project
