XGUI -- A GUI for ULX

XGUI is a GUI for ULX which is easy to use, very intuitive, always provides 100% updated information, is modular for additional content, and will include EVERY feature ULX has to offer. This will become the official GUI for ULX, and has replaced the current menus.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/OQJ9QPqDFjk&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="bbc_link bbc_flash_disabled new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/OQJ9QPqDFjk&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1</a>

The Modules
Here are the individual modules and the information about them:

Players Module:

This module is designed to provide admins/nonadmins with access to commands they can use. Designed to flow easily between commands and arguments, and adds shortcuts for quick command-execution!

Groups Module:


This module is designed to allow admins to easily add/remove groups, set/remove users to various groups, set user/group command restrictions and access tags, as well as manage UTeam teams and modifiers, and assign groups to teams.

Maps Module:

This module is designed for admins to view server maps, and perform a yes/no vote to change to a specific map, or to perform a multiple-map vote. Users can also access this to see which maps on the server are voteable, and to start a votemap for any available maps.

Settings Module:


This module is designed for users to modify XGUI settings or any client-side settings. Admins will be able to change gamemode-specific settings and limits, change any XGUI-specific settings, and set ULX specific settings, including adding/removing gimps and adverts on the fly. All settings changed should be instantaneous, and others should see the changes you make in realtime!

Bans Module:

This module is designed to allow admins to quickly view bans on their server, as well as provide very specific details about bans when requested. It also allows to ban players in the server, or ban offline players by their STEAMID. You can also change the name/reason of a ban when needed. You can also view bans that were imported from the Source Engine (banned via banid), and move them over to ULX if needed.

Logs Module:
This module will allow an easily viewable log showing chat, PMs, ULX commands, server output, and other various important console information. This log will be filterable, so you will be able to quickly show only the information you want to look up.
TODO: This entire module!  :o

Progress Bar:

XGUI features a progress bar to view when data is being received from the server, and if data is currently being processed on the clients end! (Usually only shows up for a split second, but, useful for large ban files and possible log features later)

Download, Instructions, and Usage
XGUI is now included with ULX SVN by default! Please make sure you have the latest version from the following thread:
http://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/topic,3092.0.html

To view an official TODO list/bug list, please go here: http://github.com/SticklyMan/xgui/issues

Once installed, you can activate XGUI by the following methods:
To toggle xgui (recommended):
-Bind a key to "xgui" OR
-Bind a key to "xgui toggle"

To show xugi:
-Say "!xgui" in chat OR
-Bind a key to "xgui show"

To hide xgui:
-Click the 'x' button at the top-right of the screen OR
-Bind a key to "xgui hide"

To open a specific tab in xgui:
-Say "!xgui bans" in chat OR
-Bind a key to "xgui show bans"
(where bans can be any tab name such as cmds, groups, maps, settings, bans, etc.)

To open the quick ban window:
-Say "!xban" in chat, or specify a partial player name to automatically pull up their info in the ban window.
-Say "!fban <player>" in chat with a partial player name to freeze the player while you specify a ban reason and time.

Enjoy! Let me know of any bugs you come across, or any suggestions you might have! :D

Is this clientside? Or serverside?

Looks awesome, though...

Its actually going to be both-- The server will send it to clients, so that both admins and non-admins alike can use it  :D

(Will disable buttons and stuff if players don't have access to certain features--)

EDIT: I'm also hijacking this post and putting the original first post here.

Hey everyone! I've been working on a much-needed GUI for ULX, which I decided to call XGUI ... for reasons unknown. My main goal is to include every possible feature of ULX, while keeping it as simple and easy to use as possible. Its also going to be modular, allowing people who make ULX addons (like UTeam, UPS, etc.) can have a spot to easily change settings, or even have their own 'Tab' page if necessary. Even though this really is my first serious lua project, I'm also going to be working with the other ULX devs to make this the official GUI for ULX  :)  (and by that, I mean I have to make sure the code is clean, it looks nice and is well commented, etc..)

I will be posting screenshots, information, and post the code so that you guys can try it, give feedback on things you would like added/changed/etc.

So here's what I've got so far:

The menu will be useable by admins and non-admins. It basically consists of a tab sheet with the following tabs:

Players Tab:


For non-admins, this screen will show a list of connected players, and allow for sending private messages (and possibly a few other things, not 100% sure yet). Admins will also be able to perform user actions here such as kick, slap, slay, ban, votebans, etc. and maybe even allow/deny certain tools, commands, etc. per player here. I'm still working on a good way to layout all this information, hence why this is mostly unfinished. But hey, its a work in progress, just stay tuned! :)


Admins Tab:


For non-admins, this screen will show all admins on the server and their online/offline status, as well as allow them to send private messages to all admins. Admins will be able to send messages to all via tsay, csay, etc, send console commands to server, and manage players' groups. You can add offline admins using SteamID, or when players are online, you are given a simple dialog box to change the group. If a certain person is an admin already and they are offline, you can use the simple dialog to change their group without having to lookup their steamID! This page should be completed, however there are probably a few bugs and things that need to be reworked for better performance and management of groups.


Maps Tab:


For non admins, you will be able to view which maps are available on the server (and see the thumbnails ;D), and start a votemap on a map. Admins can select a map (or multiple maps) to initiate a vote on, and they can just force a map change on the selected map. I'm debating whether to put settings here for map votes, as there is some blank space...


And that's all I have so far! Other tabs I'm planning on including are for server settings, limits, a page to manage bans, a page to manage groups and their permissions, and a page for viewing and filtering through the ULX logs. This is still a major WIP, so none of this could be the same by the time I'm done!

Anyways, for you guys adventurous to try it out, you can grab the files from here:
http://github.com/SticklyMan/xgui/tree/master

UPDATE: 09/07/09
I update progress status as the forum goes, so this first post is a bit out of date, but here's some important changes to note:

This is now in an addon format-- simply make a folder called 'xgui' in your addons folder, and put the info.txt and lua folders there.
You can now toggle open/close XGUI by using 'xgui' or 'xgui toggle' in console.
You can also use 'xgui open' and 'xgui close' to open and close it.

Anyways, good luck, please give any feedback/ideas/suggestions/questions you have! The community input will help make this the most easy to use GUI out there!

EDIT: (Yes, the code is probably a mess, my first priority is getting it up and running and functioning, then I'll worry about cleanup haha)

EDIT 2: New update! Check out the latest screenshots here!

But if I stick it on my client only, and the server has no knowledge of it, will it still work?

Yes, actually, but it won't work properly-- Part of the GUI requires information from the server, so the GUI won't get all the info it needs. Anything else that doesn't rely on that should work fine. For example, as of right now the only problems you would have are the admins page not listing any admins, and you wouldn't be able to get a list of gamemodes.. Everything else beyond that point should work fine (for now)  ;)

You've got a lot of room to work with on the right side of the maps menu, why not stick the gamemodes in list form over there? Also regarding gamemodes, it's a little complicated since only admins can get the gamemode to change... would you be able to disable the list if they're not an admin?

Hmm.. that's true, I'm still not sure how all the stuff is going to act based on permissions-- But I will keep that in mind when I get to it  ;) As for the right part of the window that's so empty-- well, I didn't have time to post my update before I had to run to work:

New update! Added votemap settings to the maps menu!



I'm going to be adding tooltips to a lot of things.. and maybe an option to enable/disable them in case of annoyance.. but at least it will help the newbies figure what does what  :D
I also optimized quite a lot of code actually, I found that I was reusing a LOT of code when adding derma controls.. so I decided to write a few simple functions to create derma controls that made things look quite a lot nicer! (And its faster for me, too)-- Hence the added xgui_helpers.lua file. I also renamed the server's xgui.lua file to xgui_server.lua, and the other to xgui_client.lua to avoid confusion of the two.

As always, if you're feeling adventurous, you can grab the code here and try it out!

-- and much much later, another update! This is taking a whole lot longer than I anticipated.. Anyways, whats new!:

Added a 'Settings' Tab, where admins will be able to access main server settings, gamemode settings, ULX specific settings, GUI settings, etc.



Anyways, I'm still trying to figure out what to put on the right side there, I was planning on a global allow/deny STool thing, but I'm not sure If i want to put that in a later tab. Most of the functionality is in there, but since I've only been running this on a listen server, I know there are probably some things I'll have to fix to make it work properly. Also made a gimp sayings and adverts manager, so that you can easily add/remove gimp sayings and adverts-- I also did a lot of work on the background stuff, like my simple little library for adding Derma functions. But, the code looks somewhat cleaner!

Let me know what you think of it! What kind of settings should I add to the server settings? What are some things you like/dislike about what you see?

As always, you can grab the files here: http://github.com/SticklyMan/xgui/tree/master

Looks nicey-nice to me. With the sliders, do you have them expand? For example, if I set sv_gravity to as high as it will go and apply/save it, will the slider move the maximum value I can use? This is done in the current ulx menu for limits and stuff.

How do you plan on doing saves?

Should throw in a tab for tools, and loadouts and use URestrict server side scripts :D :D.

This is looking very impressive. I'm very interested to see how this all turns out :D

As of right now, no clue lol-- I actually haven't used the current ULX menus much  :-X, I'll check out how it works and try to implement it  ;)
As for the saving of values.. I was planning on writing to a file that will load all the settings when the GUI is loaded, however this would pretty much override the server.ini file-- So I'm still not sure how that's all going to work out..

 :D Im planning on having a addons tab which will show a combobox list of addons on the left, and display the contents of the selected 'Addon' on the right..  basically when I get it working, all you will have to do is add a few lines of code with your script to integrate it with the menu.. (or have it add a lua file into the gui_modules folder.. still need to figure how its going to be put together). I'm planning on working on that next, but I'm going to be without a computer for the rest of the week, so, it may be a while.

This is looking very impressive. I'm very interested to see how this all turns out :D

Thanks! :D I also am anxious to see how this turns out.. ULX has been needing a GUI for a while now, and it would be definitely awesome if it were released side-by-side with ULX.. however I'm fearing the day when Megiddo has to look through my code and see if its clean enough :o haha

I've already given the code a quick perusal a couple times and it seems pretty good. :)
