a gump editor/creator

A program that can be used to visually make gumps and generate the code for us to use. For example, after creating the gump visually with the gump creator it would generate code like this:

[code:1]
public NewGump() : base( 20, 30 )
{
AddPage( 0 );

AddBackground( 0, 0, 110, 96, 5054 );

AddPage( 1 );

AddButton( 10, 32, 0xFA5, 0xFA7, 1, GumpButtonType.Reply, 0 );
AddButton( 40, 32, 0xFA5, 0xFA7, 2, GumpButtonType.Reply, 0 );
AddButton( 70, 32, 0xFA5, 0xFA7, 3, GumpButtonType.Reply, 0 );
AddLabel( 10, 54, 0x481, "text" );
AddLabel( 40, 54, 0x481, "text" );
AddLabel( 70, 54, 0x481, "text" );
}
[/code:1]

I would do this my self but I'm still a newbie to C# programming. I have allot to learn before I can even attempt to write such a program.

Its more work for somebody to make a program that does then, is to have people just learn how to code.

At least I think so, and this isn't a RunUO suggestion... I really hope nobody makes this, god I soooo Hope....

 

[stakex]

why would you say you hope no one makes it? Personaly i think it would be a great addon to people who can script good but cant do gumps. Thus this would definatly help a lot of people out. So why would you hope no one makes it?

I thinking this would be pretty sweet too... I really don't see why not to do it.

If you can script, you can do gumps... Nothing to it besides the location of stuff thats easy.

Its faster to make gumps with editor. There's nothing wrong with fast

 

[Artemis Redhand]

I'd have to agree with Gawain. Fast is better than frustrating.

I think I'm going to write this just to tick off Phantom. :evil:

Wrong emulator

Up until now, I didn't have a good place to start, would have had to start from stratch which sucks ;_)

I will update this for VB.NET and make it code RunUO Gumps

Give me a few weeks.

 

[Sharpish]

yeah but its got the source

I've been working on mine about an hour now, and I've got a working toolbox with previews of each gump element, and a Canvas where elemnts can be added, and moved around. Krrios' SDK rocks.

wow great website

NOBODY CAN CONNECT to you if its 127.0.0.1

ROFL

Thats a boy/girl show us how new you really are

I am just kidding of course, would be nice to see the picture. I think I can create the program in VB .NET using the SDK

oops, that was supposed to be http://buffner.no-ip.org/gumpeditor.jpg

wow, I never thought trying to host my own image would be this frustrating.

Let's try it once more http://buffner.no-ip.org/gumpeditor.jpg
It's a dial-up line, so be gentle.

I also edited my other posts to point to the new URL.

omfg dude looking sweet hurry with it hehe

Non the less if some one want to spend the time doing it, hey, more power to them. As I said, if I was more fluent in C# I would spend the time my self to do it, because I think it's a great idea.

The gump code I posted in my first post doesn't do squat and in order to make it do squat you would have to know how to code, so my idea of a program to generate the gump code for you would be absolutely useless to a person who knows nothing about C#.

 

[Phantom]

Well I can make a program that will place the buttons but everything else will have to be coded.

Hope thats understood since there is a million different things you could do.

But also not ever gump object acts the same. I am not sure how this will work...

My plan so far is to have an interface that looks a lot like the one for visual studio, where you can drag and drop the different elements, and set thier properties. It's mainly going to be for layout, and give the user an easy way to determine GumpIDs by visually browsing. I plan do do a function that will basicly dump the elements into a .cs or .vb file with code to layout the elements. It's up to the user to actually edit the code generated to make it do more then look pretty.

So far I'm having great results. The only thing stopping me right now is that I can't find a way to access the UO font graphics through the SDK, so I'm having to use standard windows fonts for now.
