Hi guys,

I've put up the newest version of the GUI XML Creator to download on my site.

Changes:
-- Put in some beta code for those Voodoo3 users out there to try out and see if it works for them. Let me know!
-- Added in an option to put in fixed-width tabs of your own size choice. A good number is 100-150 or so.
-- Fixed some sizing issues with very small or very large maps.

I want to thank everyone here for all the help on tracking down the issues and a big thanks to Conen for helping to work out the scrollable tabs. I think I got it figured out and managed to get those pesky borders to disappear altogether.

Good newa Muse...
Looks like this version has fixed the scrunched-up map problem.

GRATZ,
Feebb

If you can, email me the EQUI_HelpWnd.xml file that you put in this folder (the one my program made) and I'll make some changes to it and email it back to you to try out (or maybe a couple of versions to try). I'm also assuming you tried it with the Voodoo3 texture setting selected?

I've been doing some tests with Vandyl and his Voodoo board, trying to get various combos to work. It appears that Voodoo boards will never be able to show these things correctly, because of the way they load textures. I plan on tweaking the GUI so that voodoo users will not have their maps cropped, but they will always have them distorted. What happens is that Voodoo cards are stuck with 256x256 texture spaces. Not a huge problem, because they can allocate more than one to fit a larger texture. The problem is that, in doing so, they stretch the texture to fit that multiple of 256x256 space (like 512x768 or 1028x256, whatever it is). This causes distortion that I can't fix through any manipulation short of creating maps that all fit some multiple of those dimensions (which I have no plans on doing). Sorry for the bummer news. Hopefully this doesn't affect too many people.

It would be great if you could make this mod for actions window (as i have seen others, but not the greatest maps as you have, but i dont want to get banned for using this mod cause it uses help window. Just a warning to all your people out there.

The alteration of the html files that they use in the Help window is illegal, but this mod doesn't do that. BTW, please let me know if you have any problems with this after the last patch. There shouldn't be any, but you never know.

lc3Burne A Bat Join Date: Oct 2002 Server: Tunare Posts: 1	Great addition to a UI Muse, I was wondering if you are planning to attempt a dropdown box.. I've noticed using 'SidlWidl' there isn't very many options but under the browser, there is a button draw template and a BDT_Combo, But if you try to drag it over it doesn't drop anything (booo can't it be like visual basic? LOL) So I'm wondering since you've done this great job on what you have now.. Do you plan on attempting a drop down menu? Kunark , Fv , LOIO btnName, Zone, zone, etc.. (and when an option is picked it pops up on the right) some sort of... fvmap.visible=true) I'm not very good at visual basic or XML but I love to pick around a lil bit and see what I can do lol.. I spent probly an hour snaggin all the maps I could of your eqmaps site got them all too.. I believe and with a width space of 150-200 they all show up lol (scrolls to the right a long ways), Your site is the best source IMO for quality maps (although I wish they all of them had a legend on the maps for when your in game.. lol) <-- LAZY I Enjoy the map program though and Thank you for the effort you've put into it!
