XGUI - Fully featured modular GUI for ULX! (Included with ULX v3.51 and SVN)

[atomicspark]

I'll keep this idea in mind as this becomes more polished 

No you won't.

Also, explaining how to comment out in Lua would of been helpful. I just replaced the line. Since in the next update, I'll be overwriting the files anyways.

Huge update!

Well, not so much exciting for you guys, mostly a lot of background changes and stuff! Lemme list what I can remember:

-Now in addon format! (Until released with ULX..) So you don't have to go putting files in the ulx folder
-Tons of code cleanup!
-Recoded initialization, now opens faster!
-Made numerous changes due to UCL updates
-Textboxes now lose focus when you click away from them!
-Other random slider/textbox updates
-Players tab has an RCON box so admins can quickly run console commands!
-Removed the admins tab completely, replaced with the groups tab!
-Thanks to UCL changes, you can add/remove/rename/edit groups quickly and easily! (more stuff on the groups tab to come later)
-Categories on the settings page now default to collapsed
-Positions of scrollbars, categories, opened tab, etc. are saved on menu open/close
-Moved mapvote settings to the settings page
-Preparing to make XGUI more modular
-And many other changes..

The players tab is still boring because I'm waiting for a few very important changes to ULib 

Oh, and I also changed the way modules are added-- instead of an addons page, you can add a tab (or add settings elsewhere.. coming soon).  Check module_examples.lua for a commented, step-by-step example

Screenshots? Well.. not much really has changed layout-wise, mostly functionality. Try it out!

This is awesome!

I get a "Unknown command <command>" for all +xgui, xgui_show/hide, and xgui_toggle. Totally installed inside addons, running latest SVN of ULX/ULib.

Don't know if it helps, but this is my error log on startup of the initializing of Ulib/ULX:

Code: [Select]

You are running ULib version 2.40.

Help plox!!

This is awesome!

Thanks 

Sorry about the errors, since school started been a bit occupied, but I should hopefully be making more progress soon..

As for the errors, Megiddo changed the way ULX is initialized-- so everything gets loaded before even derma does. I fixed it a while back, but I'm still in the middle of implementing something, so.. I'm going to update XGUI now, you may get a few errors on the 'players' tab, or it might not even show up, so just a warning-- something else is probably broken 

Also, one thing I changed earlier but apparently haven't mentioned is that I'm changing the commands to use XGUI.. this is how it works now:

use 'xgui' or 'xgui toggle' to toggle XGUI
'xgui open' and 'xgui close' will open/close it.

I removed +xgui and -xgui, if anyone still wants it, just give me a hollar 

Anyways, let me know how that works for ya!

[EggNoggin]

Nothing happens when I type any of those in. But it doesn't say "unknown command" anymore, so I guess it recognizes it. 

[Stickly Man!]

Okay, I had to make a *slight* change to ULib a while ago-- so Megiddo will be pushing an SVN update (with that among other things) within the hour.. That should fix the problem 
Let me know if you run into any other problems!

EDIT: Okay, I also had to make a slight change to XGUI too, be sure and update!

[bennie900]

When i try to open the menu a little window opens saying "XGUI reciving data! Please wait a moment..."

Errors in console (none obvious - I don't think this has anything to do with it)

Code: [Select]

Warning: vgui.Create failed to create the VGUI component (DFrame)
includes/extensions/vgui_sciptedpanels.lua:134: attempt to index local 'panel' (a nil value)

Running latest ULIB and ULX

EDIT: By the way do you have to do anything with the info file? I just moved the LUA folder into my main ULX folder.

EDIT2: I get this in console:

Code: [Select]

ULib queue error: ulx/modules/cl/xgui_client.lua:46: attempt to index global 'BaseArg' (a nil value)


[Stickly Man!]

XGUI is in an addon format now, so you should make a folder called XGUI in your addons folder, and put the lua folder and info.txt in there (then remove anything XGUI-related from the ULX folder).

As for the second error, megiddo just changed something on his last SVN update that I need to modify in XGUI, but it doesn't prevent it from working properly.

As for the first error-- well, try what I mentioned above and put XGUI in the right place, then try again and see if it works

[bennie900]

Still getting the same problem, it wont load up.  Changed it to addon format.

XGUI related stuff in the console:

Also you may want to edit your first post saying its in addon format.

Thanks,

[Stickly Man!]

Good point, updated first post a bit

As for that BaseArg error, that doesn't have anything to do with your problem-- I get that error and it still works fine for me. Are you sure you removed all traces of XGUI from the ulx folder? Are you running it on a listen or a dedicated server? Do you see any other errors in the console?

EDIT: Whoops, yeah, it works on dedicated servers but not listen servers, gimme a bit and I'll have it fixed  (Its funny, I used to test everything on listen servers, the minute I start using a dedicated server, I get problems with listen servers )

[Stickly Man!]

*A long bit later*

YAY! I finally found the problem and fixed it-- update XGUI and it should be working

[Megiddo]

*A long bit later*

YAY! I finally found the problem and fixed it-- update XGUI and it should be working

what was the problem?

[bennie900]

Cool fixed it thanks!! Looks nice btw

[Stickly Man!]

lol thanks! And as it turns out, it wasn't my fault at all, it was wiremods-- I reverted the code back to how it was before in hopes that they'll fix the issue ASAP.
