Well best of luck

With all these new features you keep previewing it really is an exciting time to be a Nexuiz fan

i know that I'm getting off topic here but can you make a little tutorial on menu quakeC divVerent?
I don't think anybody else knows how to program in it.

I tried hacking up the menu, and man is it hard! maybe it's because I'm so used to HTML, but I can't seem to work with the markup very easily.

I'd say it's very unlikely that a new menu will still use that weird scripting system, so don't bother...

[divVerent]

I am not using that, by the way, but instead making my own system. And it will use QC only, it won't parse a menu definition at runtime. I don't want that overhead.

Well if you can explain how you got that up it will help me out a bit. I'm still new to Quake C.

First useful dialog in my menu system: http://hagger.rbi.informatik.uni-frankf ... select.avi

Ohhh woooow.

That is such a massive improvement...

So that low FPS - is that because of the menu altering performance or just a result of video capturing?

[Psychcf]

probably video capturing. That does look pretty cool though. I never liked how the UI on the menus had a weird behavior... the scrollbars aren't really scrollbars and all...

[divVerent]

Yes, video capturing. And yes, I'll try to make the control as "normal" as possible. For example, buttons and sliders already implement common UI semantics (like on Windows, KDE, GNOME): if you click a button and pull the mouse cursor out, the button will NOT be activated - it only will when the mouse is above the button when releasing. A slider will also restore its previous value when you leave it while dragging. List boxes do not exist yet, but I'll also try to make their slider as "normal" as possible.
