New Persona Window + UIBuilder News

Netherworks · #1 10-21-2007, 01:42 PM

Great news on these UIBuilder changes! I'm uber-nooba-new so I guess I need to find out where to go sign up for the beta

Most of my work has been based on Zonx's fetish UI core and I guess what I'm doing is "polishing". I'm not as familiar with xml as I'd like to be, though I am able to script (python, php, etc) so actually it not a huge leap. But as a visual tool UIBuilder is just wonderful.

What I'd like to see is a way to copy/paste elements from one running copy of UIBuilder to another. Right now I'm working on 2 themes of the same UI and if I come up with an idea in one, I'd like to mirror it to the other. Right now I just weed through the code, copy, paste in my text editor.

I should clarify about the encoding. UIBuilder does still encode symbols like greater-than, less-than, apostrophe, ampersand etc. But the old version would sometimes double encode things leaving the values messed up. For example, it would encode "<" into "<" but then for some odd reason it would encode the ampersand leaving it "&lt;". This bug has been fixed.

When the new version is patched down, let me know if you notice any other encoding issues.

Bought the magazine but still haven't gotten my beta invite.

I'm really interested in what has been added to the Persona window. Will this mean no one will want mine any more? But the thing I really want to know is if they've added Game Data for things like Riposte or Home City.

As for the UIBuilder I would just like it to not add extra "/" slashes that I have to remove with a text editor.

If you pre-ordered the magazine, log into the SOE forums and you should be able to see the Beta forums. If not, make sure you've signed the NDA by going to apply for it. If still not, theres a sticky somewhere with them telling you who to PM for access.

Because all FF attendees and Equinox preorders were automatically flagged, you didn't go through the normal beta acceptance routine and so emails were never sent out. Your account was just automatically flagged.

Just checked in game for 
 and its a no go.

If I add a button with OnPress="say Hello
say there"

I get this in game

Hello & #xA
there

You guys probably use a inhouse parsers but for the sake of us people making applications that do not have access to your parser, it would be nice if your parser recognized some transformations on white-space that we have to deal with.

More than escaping I would just like to be able to pass commands in international characters. Currently e.g. a simple /mood なし cannot be modded... (unless it was ninja fixed, did not check in a month or two).

yeah and is it possible to add a function like "x turns white if y is yellow"?

That's pretty easy to do now with scripting. The real question is when would you like to trigger this script?

Am I the only one who caught this?

Was that a Freudian slip that expresses your TRUE feelings about the W3C, Landiin??

(If they introduced the .orc TLD, I'd SO buy one!)

Sorry, back to your regularly scheduled conversation...

Was wondering when the new Persona window would go into test because we're about 2 weeks till the release of the expansion, I'm getting anxious, and we should have enough time to mod it, plus i want to see it bad since I'm not in beta

Believe he said it was on Beta, dunno about test though.
