So it doesn't allow for custom events. Just like I thought.

Correct. This allows for semi-complex GUIs. Most GUIs are just a few buttons and text, but the super complex ones still have to stick to the old ways.

There is NO way to have an ENTIRELY working GUI downloader that has full functionality for ALL gui elements, that is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT safe and is capable of EVERYTHING any other client gui can do. It's just not possible. The following is possible:

• safe
  
• includes all gui elements
• functional
  
• allows for complicated, custom script elements like list handling, etc.
  

You can choose any two.

All of the thinking is done on the server, and the client just displays it. Any property of any element sent can be updated (other than command, altCommand, and closeCommand), and .setValue() can be called upon it also. Popup menus and lists are the only two GUI objects that are controlled not using those, and MessageVectors are spotty and have better alternatives.

You do realize that GUI scripts have {'s and }'s and ;'s in them, right?

Yep. Matter of fact, this uses them too!

Add-Ons / Blockland Glass v1.3

Blockland Glass v1.3

What is this?
Blockland Glass is an add-on that improves Blockland a lot behind-the-scenes, adding features that make the game easier to play and enjoy. Version 1 has two key features: GUI Downloading and HUD Manager.


GUI Downloader
Almost every server is getting their own custom GUI now. Each time you join a server, you are almost always pestered by a message saying, "Please download my GUI to play." We've come up with a solution to make this process easier for both the player and the developer. The GUI Downloader automatically downloads all needed GUIs upon joining the server. To ensure that this system stays secure and dynamic, no raw TorqueScript is downloaded, but instead assembled by the client after the input from the server has been completely verified. The GUIs are completely functional and operate like any other.

HUD Manager
Another common feature of add-ons: info displayed at the bottom of the page. This is great for maybe a single add-on, but past that, the bottom of your screen is always flickering in a never-ending battle of which add-on will get to be displayed. We've taken care of this by adding the HUD Manager. Developers simply have to update values on the server, and they appear on the side of your screen in neat little boxes. This helps information could be displayed in either text or progress bars, definable by add-ons.

Release Candidate 1

Keybinds! This still contains all of the testing objects, which will be removed before the actual release.

Download

Additions

• Keybinds
• Require BLG to join the server by using BLG.setRequired();
• List Functionality

Developers

As most developers know, this is the normal code to register a normal keybind:

Code: [Select]

$remapDivision[$remapCount] = "My Divison";
$remapName[$remapCount] = "My Name";
$remapCmd[$remapCount] = "command";
$remapCount++;
BLG's is just as simple, if not simpler:

Code: [Select]

BLG_GKS.newBind("My Name", "command");
The only difference is the argument fed to the command is the client.
