Update(s) and development

[SolarPortal]

Another update, 3 editors down and 1 to go, plus we now have panning in the main editor and mesh editor using the Middle Mouse button which is another step in improving the scene editing.. Just wanting to keep those interested uptodate!

Cheers mate..
its good it have updates..

So GUI editor has been improved a good bit and now have it close to having checkboxes, lineedits and some other ones working

Still a bit of improvements to do and any reminders of the gui issues now would be great. @epsilonion, @Shando

The GUI editor now uses a json file instead of a binary. This means the data is human readable and therefore can be reverse engineered to load code based editors into the visual GUI editor. Something i remember @Shando mentioning.

There have also been a few fixes done.
@epsilonion, i cannot find the page where you posted the procedure to making the refresh crash... any reminder is welcome thanks.

Also doing my final pass on the element types now since the system has changed 3 times now lol.. But internally its a lot more elegant and organised for expansion and has opened to the door to some cool new things. e.g. at some point in the future we will be able to start introducing animation tracks for GUI elements which should make some really cool things happen easily.

Still a few workflow things to explore, i knew it was a big job.... lol

Hi all,

Sorry for not replying sooner, work got in the way

As for GUI updates, the only ones I can remember are:

How to read entry from Input Box when ENTER is pressed?
Rotate images in Buttons as they currently seem to be rotated 180 degrees
Enable / Disable GUI elements
ComboBox options (i.e. populate / getSelected / setSelected)
Radio Button options (i.e. setChecked / getChecked / setText)
Slider & Slider options (i.e. getValue / setValue / setMinimum / getMinimum / setMaximum / getMaximum)

HTH

PS: Any chance I can also request some way to set the Specular &/or Diffuse via code for individual Models (if it's not already there and I've missed it!)?
