Title: New XGUI Settings Tab
Post by: Bite That Apple on March 07, 2013, 08:28:53 PM
I'm going to be creating an addon that requires ulx and xgui to function correctly. I want to know if there is any documentation about xgui and creating new tabs?

I THINK - Create a new category with standard ULX commands, and by default, XGUI should pick up on it.
Make sure you use ULX 'help' object in your comman setup, and we strongly recommend using 'default' variable in your parameter setup.
To mu knowledge, there is no XGUI documentation except for comments in the code itself.
ULX is reasonably commented within the code itself, and, much of it relies on ULib commands, which are all documented here - http://ulyssesmod.net/docs

I wrote a decently commented ULX command structure tutorial for how to convert our old 2-3 year command setup to new (now 1-2 year old) command structure.
See half way through (NEW STUFF HERE part) at http://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/topic,4464.msg17838.html

and once again JamminR saves the day. Thank you, I'm going to begin looking through all this and hopefully I can get my project finished.

Heh.. yah.. Documentation has been on my TODO list for quite some time. :P  Using code as a template to start is a great idea (The APromote author did just that), but, if you need help with anything, send me a PM and I'll explain things as best as I can!
