commissioned GUIs

Tesha

Okay wow, I can't even comprehend how epic that is. How much do you ask for these, and would you start from someone else's work (ie redo mine)? 

I feel like asking for challenging things just to see if it's possible, like photoshop facial expressions into my bumper sticker of Aurora based on who's winning the fight (and flapping phoenix), but then again, you might actually do it and then I'd have to give you like 500 credits. 

In all seriousness though, some different-colored animated orbs with vitals like health, angel power, devotion etc. would be pretty neat, maybe a few other things. Can't believe you can actually have animated stuff on a gui.

@Jovolo: Zulah's stuff actually made me do it and once I started looking into his stuff and reading through the Geyser manual, it's really not that hard if you actually have the real estate to make it work.

Valdus

If he's adding .gif animations what you suggested sounds entirely plausible @Tesha .

I really need to think about what I want for Valdus as a Sentinel.


By the way @Zulah that Alchemist one was simply brilliant. The fluid tracker on the left is genius.

Zulah

Right now I have 6 orbs and 3 other animations, 1 of which is a complete background all running on my mudlet screen while I bash/sail just to make sure they won't effect the systems speed.




So far every system I make has gotten more in depth than the last. Couple more and i'll be parsing everything into a full 3d game engine....

Vadimuses

Zulah's putting the html client UIs to shame.

Thank you. Seems to run just fine without causing issues. You've opened new GUI options for me! (As if I didn't have enough)

Yeah, I'm impressed. nearly 70 images, and Mudlet is barely registering in terms of CPU.

Zulah

Whats all this "but my screen is too small" nonsense?! Commissioned 15" laptop screen Angel themed.

Oh my god I think I just had an angel-gasm.

I definitely want to figure out how to pull off those toggle-able consoles, great stuff.

For Labels it's:
showWindow("label_name")
hideWindow("label_name")

For miniconsoles I just throw them off screen:
moveWindow("console_name", 9000, 9000)
moveWindow("console_name", 10, 10)

You can show and hide miniconsoles, too. The way I have my map set up is with one container, with a Mapper and a MiniConsole (for capturing the wilderness map) on top of each other; when I enter the wilderness or board a ship, I hide the mapper and show the miniconsole, and the opposite on exiting.

That's how my mapper is set up aswell. If you miniconsole inside a container you can showWindow/hideWindow which is nice. For the sake of the miniConsole/Guages themselves though, moving them around is a basic way for people learning.

I'm still learning ways to bend mudlet to my will. Working on some nice pull down menus right now that utilize a touch of animating with showWindow hideWindow. So far I'm happy with the effects

The alchemist one was for me, and it was better than I could have hoped, hats off to Zulah for being awesome.

Zulah

So here I am racking my brain to find an actual plausible reason to use more animations in my system other than "oooo purdy" when suddenly it came to me...

I present the next level of my GUI's!

Sena

I would probably switch to Mudlet just for Fire Emblem bashing animations, if that works out well.

Daslin

...I...I...I almost really want this. It's in the I want category, just... it's nearly really.

Zulah

He is fully animated. I feel like I'm playing nintendo. Iocun suggested I set it to use my pc/xbox controller. I'm putting in all the legend of zelda sound effects now!

Tharvis

...how much do you charge per GUI, again?  ^:)^

They've been going for about 1-2 crowns depending on extras someone wants. Basic one is 1crown or 35credits. But the nice thing about them is they are .mpackage (easy install) and I try to organize everything, clearly label and add comments so after someone gets one they can easily change almost everything about it on a whim. I try to put a custom effect in each one too so no two are exactly the same.

Sobriquet

Just want to add my name to the list of people who think this is an awesome job

Shirszae

I am so very tempted to get something like this for bard...

Vadimuses

We've got a professional in the house.

I'd really like you to setup a website with every screenshot you've posted in a gallery, and some videos for the animated ones as well.

Jonathin

What are the borders set to in the 1366x768 resolution?

I think one of my big problems is coming from the fact that I don't want to feel like I'm compressing the text into a tiny tiny area.

Mannimar

getMainWindowSize() returned

{

}

@Jonathin

Jonathin

No, I mean the borders he set to confine the text.

Zulah

I've been busy the last week haven't had much time. But I managed to fiddle with my Diablo3 GUI for a few hours today on my time off from work!

Tharvis

I so want to buy that Diablo GUI once you're done with it

Fen

@Zulah these are all really, really sick, man.

Vadimuses

I find that having rooms 5, exits 10 on the mapper makes the exit lines look nice on it. You could also try experimenting and replacing the items miniconsole with a label.
