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

[Megiddo]

Good work!

[krooks]

YUP! It's nice. 

[Jens]

Love the updates and the whole XGUI, thanks sticky man!

[Stickly Man!]

And thank you all for using it!

Update time!

This update took me much, MUCH longer than I had planned, and I still didn't get everything I wanted to done. (i.e. Ban filtering/searching)

This update was mostly a huge backend update to client->server data processing and finally allows modules to integrate with the server-side portion of XGUI. I also changed how modules are connected via XGUI (probably for the last time), therefore any existing third party mods for XGUI will be broken until the authors fix them. I also split most of the code in xgui_server.lua file into various files found in /lua/ulx/xgui/server/.

Other cool changes include full ban editing (you can now edit the name, reason, AND unban date!), and I integrated it all with the Add Ban window, for familiarity and efficiency! Also included is a special safety check to make sure you don't accidentally remove xgui_managegroups, ulx groupallow, etc. from yourself which will prevent you from easily getting it back. (It shows a nice, big warning!) I also fixed a number of bugs, and also left some bugfixes unchanged (can't remember which bugs were caused by the backend update.. )

All in all, this update may bring about a few bugs I haven't yet noticed, so be sure to report back with any issues you have!
Check for ULX rev 163!

Sure is quiet around these parts! But I'll faithfully notify those who pay attention for updates! 

In this update, I fixed a few small errors and removed the check to warn if a pre-svn version of XGUI was installed. I also made it possible for the groups tab to load the list of groups in "offline mode" (even though there's little functionality, it still beats a blank window!)

And the biggest change in this revision is that I super-optimized the data transfer for the "users" datatype-- Previously (due to some lazy programming ), the ULib users table was being sent to admins on UCLChanged, which gets called far more often than needed for the users table. A friend of mine's server had an extremely large users list, so it started to cause some noticeable issues. Now, the users table is only sent when a user is added/removed from a group, and when changed, it only sends the small bit of info of the admin that was modified. Yay!

5/17/2011 (rev 177)
-----------------
*Changed: Groups on the groups module load regardless of whether XGUI was able to recieve data from server or not.
*Changed: Optimized sending of ULib users data-- Only sends the data when it needs to (no longer on UCLChanged), and when changed, only sends the updated info.
=Fixed: Rare error causing votemap settings to not load properly (which was previously fixable after a mapchange)
=Fixed: The button for scrolling through tab names of settings modules (if there were too many) was being obscured by the close button. (Thanks [eVo]Lead4u!)
-Removed: xgui_oldcheck.lua (No longer checks for a pre-svn version of XGUI installed.)

Careful, THEY might hear ya!

Zzzz. Huh?! What? Oh! Nice..an upda...ooooh....shiny sparkles.

[Stickly Man!]

Hehe

So much for my planned "One whole page of me posting updates!" Oh well. This update is laying out some groundwork for some future clientside modules that I or others may have in mind. I ran out of time today, but more is coming within the next few days!

5/18/2011 (rev 178)
