Several days ago on IRC, [GT] Shaggy asked if it was possible to have an ingame pop-up with lots of command buttons. After much experimenting with the menu code I managed to create two pop-ups.

1) A modified version of the F5 Team Select menu. I'll make a seperate post about it.

2) A new menu with 18 buttons



You can change the width, colour, label and action of all the buttons - you can even hide them. You can also change the pop-ups title, colour and width, but currently not its height.




Use the diff's in this zip http://www.leela.org.uk/nexuiz/?action=show&file=shaggy_selector.zip or try and follow the notes below.

Add to Nexuiz/trunk/data/qcsrc/menu/classes.c

Code: Select all

#include "nexuiz/dialog_shaggyselect.c

Add to Nexuiz/trunk/data/qcsrc/menu/nexuiz/mainwindow.c

Code: Select all

near the start

ATTRIB(MainWindow, shaggyInfoDialog, entity, NULL)


in the middle

i = spawnNexuizShaggySelectDialog();

i.configureDialog(i);

me.addItemCentered(me, i, i.intendedWidth * eX + i.intendedHeight * eY, SKINALPHAS_MAINMENU_z);

Create dialog_shaggyselect.c in Nexuiz/trunk/data/qcsrc/menu/nexuiz/ with the following code

Code: Select all

#ifdef INTERFACE

Add the following to your autoexec.cfg

Code: Select all

exec menu.cfg  // load the new menu buttons

Use bind ?? "menu_cmd directmenu ShaggySelect" to show the new pop-up.

Do you want me to write some binds for this?

I am thinking of putting a log in screen which user can register to get the username and password from server,

any idea

How many possibilites does the menu code give you? Could one have access to things like the playerlist on the server so that I could somehow have a "admin menu" where I can select players and kick them using a GUI, and getting away from feeling like a linux user who likes ancient console commands ?

bah, no it doesn't (or I haven't noticed that it's possible). Unless you code another menu for rcon or add extensions to dp.

Btw, console has power (you can't batch jobs using gui usually).

This is actually what I was beginning to work on. It's a little above my head at the moment... but so far I've been able to create a new element that's a textbox/button combo. I'm trying to keep this abstract so we can have the code written once and update the internals via cfg files.

I figured I could pull the player info in a similar manner to the server info window... but I'm not sure if that has the player numbers needed to do the action.

Ideally, I'd like a list of players on the server, with a filter box much like the server list... so you filter / highlight the name of the player and take action via buttons on the right >> mute, kick, ban, etc.
