XGUI - Fully featured modular GUI for ULX! (Included with ULX v3.51 and SVN)

[Megiddo]

Where do I install it if I want to put it on a server? I use an FTP client.

You install it in addons.

Yep, to the addons... servers run almost exactly like client.

Another thing you might want to do is have the groups list updated when the group it inherits from gets changed.

Thanks Aaron, I'll look into it soon.

And now another update!

This one basically adds support for ULX's enabling/disabling of TSay event colors, and also adds support for ULX's saving of kick/ban reasons. So, much like the gimp editor, you can now add and remove default autocomplete kick/ban reasons which are used throughout XGUI, also!

I also started to make a bit of progress on the restrictions.. I'm getting there!

I've now put a few more detailed items on my TODO list, and I'm planning to have all of the ones marked "Priority" and maybe a few more completed and then XGUI will be ready for it's initial release! So unless school decides to take over and suffocate me, we should be expecting a release within a month or two!

SVN is down again?

REPORT of '/SticklyMan/xgui.git/!svn/vcc/default': 200 OK (http://svn.github.com)

Could you possibly switch to a different host?

I get the same error.

Stickly man, github svn seems to go down more tha... wait..nvm, this is a family oriented forum.

EDIT - Speaking of git and broken SVN, see the last sentence of Notch's blog post (dev of Minecraft). Just stumbled across that after making this post

[Stickly Man!]

Lol JamminR -- Yeah, it appears that github's support of SVN is very flaky.. Sorta makes sense seeing as how it really is a secondary feature.

Me and Megiddo are currently talking about merging XGUI into the official ULX SVN since he did just remove the old menus a while ago. However, I'm not entirely sure yet on how I want to handle this, because I have no idea what would happen to people who update their ULX SVN, but still have XGUI installed as a separate addon.

[JamminR]

Code: Text

1. if dir.exists(../addons/xgui) then
2. Msg NO NO NO NO... You updated to ULX revision that NOW INCLUDES Xgui. Go remove your old addons/xgui folder and try again.
3. Set Somvar_included_in_xgui_old_addon_that_will_display "Hey..this is broken, see news at forums"
4. Return noload
5. else
6. load xgui
7. end
8.  

Ok, other than the var that would transfer over to 'old' Xgui being a challenge, what's the problem?

[Stickly Man!]

I was thinking something along those lines-- the only issue with that is that we're assuming that they put xgui in the "addons/xgui" folder.

I may do something similar, but instead get a list of folder names in the addons folder, then for each one check if a specific file (<foldername>/lua/ulx/modules/sv/xgui_server.lua) exists. Need to be at home to test and get something working though.

Oh, and instead of just setting a CVar, i'll probably just spew a large and very noticeable warning on the server console that's been delayed so it shows up after everything else has loaded.

[Stickly Man!]

Done! I ended up deciding just to merge it with ULX SVN! Check the news on the front page of ulyssesmod.net!

-----------------
*Changed: Now included with the ULX SVN!
+Added: Extra file to check if users have XGUI installed with the SVN AND as a seperate addon, and then send them rather large warnings.

[Aaron113]

May want to fix the date.    Anyway, glad to see this merged into ULX.  No more worrying about two separate addons.

[JamminR]

Yay!
Once (if/when/whenever) we go release, and have been stable a while. Perhaps you can write in additional code check of some sort that would allow for separate beta testing. An XGUI dev environment sort of so that every feature change made to XGUI won't require total checkout of ULX.
I know. SVN checkout, it's easy, but sometimes it's just nice to have some type of separate testing system

Code: Text

1. if not dir.exists[..\addons\Xgui_leet_tester] then
2. load normal
3. else
4. var = dir.list[..\addons\ulx\lua\xgui\*]
5. for each x in var do
6. if file.exists[xgui_leet_tester\] then
7. load leet tester file
8. else
9. load normal file
10. end
11. end
12. end
13.  

Thats not most efficient way logically, but ya get my drift.

[Stickly Man!]

May want to fix the date. 

What are you talking about? Of course it's Jan 1, 20111! Where have you been the past 18100 years man? Someone must have partied waaay too much last night on New Years Eve!

(p.s. That's what happens when I make posts when I'm tired  )


Also JamminR, Don't know if I'll need it, but that could be nice for testing compatibility issues. Since my ULX files are junction'd into my server folder however, I can simply remove the link, and create my own combination of ulx+xgui files that I need! (Assuming it doesn't take me forever to do such)

[krooks]

Awesome, can't wait till my server clears out so I can update ULX
