Custom button ideas

I dont know why, but mosly I love those numbers up there - Fallout pip-boy style! Anyway great work and cannot wait for it

 

Very impressive! Good job!
Had the same ideas, but using the rust GUI is such a pain in the arse that i gave up.

 

Thanks all. here is a another updated version.
Changed counter at top to work now. currently displaying the player count/ max player. Number changes when you load/unload panel or just click the counter to refresh.
Moved panel up against right side now, and down a little. Seems to be out of the way there.

Now to add permissions and a few little things and then need some testers

 

I have a question, How would you maintain the correct ratio for the interface?, I ask this as most mods that have a gui on my screen will look streched as they are designed for either 4*5 or 16*9 when I have a 21*9 ratio.
Would you be looking at adding a form of ratio setting, I know it cant be auto detected (from what I know) but even if a player could enter in there ratio.

 

I will have to check into this.. good idea.
You would think you could get camera pixel height and width or something, then formulate sizing from that. ill have to look when I get home.

 

Ok, seems I was able to muddle my way to finding players screen resolution and then convert that it a aspect ratio.

Code:

string example = Screen.currentResolution;

That will return players resolution and frequency in string format.

Then had to split string and get each size, convert them into Double and divide. or something like that. lol

I do see Integers Screen.height and Screen.width but, it seems they do not return a true screen size. But a modified in game size of sorts.

Now to see if I can get the buttons sizing to change for each ratio.

 

WoW thats awesome.
Let me know how it goes, if you share the code I would be happy to do testing to confirm, I normally run in small windowed modes when im programming. So I would happily confirm if it works .

 

Here is a rough version of my current Command Buttons. if you guys want to try them out.
Basically just change the /chatcommand in config file for each button to what you want. and you can also set the Text over the button there to.
Command to open close buttons is /commandbuttons. you can also bind a key.

The server player count refreshes when opening buttons or clicking on the counter too.

No permissions for them yet. But you can show/not show secondary "caution" buttons via config. I think adding permissions for these Admin/Secondary buttons would be nice.

Screen resolution adjustment still in the works Plus options to use Icons (picture URL) instead of the Txt over buttons.

 

Ok ty, can't wait to try it out.

 

dude. this is sick! following

Hey Colon.
I know this thread is old, But wanted it know if you ever got somewhere with the screen ratio thing that you where looking into?

 

Yes, I did work on it.. I am away from home for another week, but when I get back in, ill let you test it out

 

I'd love to see this in action.

 

Hi Colon Blow, Is this idea still alive? Would love to trial some ideas if there is a release with the screen ratio fix. Thanks MrPink

 

Hey Colon, I would also be interested in an update on the screen ratio fix if you are willing to share!

 

Hello Colon. I was wondering if I can have this . I think it's wonderful and I would love to play with it and be able to tweak it and such.
