GUID (Graphical User Interface Designer) for GS

Hi everyone,

Download Alpha Version
(Script Export Disabled)

last time I have thought about a tool which would make panel creation much easier. If you had already made complex menus, you may know that it is often confusing to set the position of the objects by coordinates.

Well, so I've started to develope a tool which should help you by setting panel values and set them at the right position.

First screenshots (don't be too critical, this is a result of less than 3 days of work )








Here is the current feature list of this tool:
-Saving and Loading projects
-Export projects (and the needed bitmaps) as a Script
-Load bitmaps from Files or create simple one-colored
-Copy a selected panel
-Remove panels
-Set alignment (Top, Center, Right), the code will also be written for you
-Scale Panels and rotate them
-Set different panel values like alpha, overlay, filter, and fade them by a specific color
-Project Files manager to select a specific panel object


Sorry, but I don't have any alpha version of it so far

But anyway, I would be very interested what do you think about such a tool.
And of course you could make some feature wishes (but I don't know if I could implement them )

cool, if you can add somthing like comboboxes etc. it will even become cooler.

I agree with Quadraxas

and if you could make it where it resizes and repositions the panels when you change resolutions that would also be helpful

It looks great, maybe you could add a option for drag and drop buttons,or textboxes.

Nice tool there, you always come up with some very good ideas
Can't wait to play around with it

Cheers

I've now published a small alpha version of it.

Download

Here are some infos you should know:
You can double-click on a panel and can write the "on_click" function (i've oriented this at c++ editors)
You can also manage your functions, that means different panels could have the same functions, so you can easier edit them. You can also remove a function or a panel by pressing "Del" while it is selected.
You can duplicate a panel by pressing CTRL+V
Move panels by using the mouse and drag/drop them or use arrow keys.

The tool does automatically make backups of your current project files.

Because it's just an alpha version I've disabled script export so far.

Please tell me what you like/don't like at the functions.
If you get problems, tell me them too

I like it very much so far
What I want to see is a possibility to export to Lite-C and not only to C-Script.
It would also be very interesting to get a preview, but that will probably cause problems with the own functions...
For creating a menu there has to be the posibility to create several "pages" and the possibility to link between them through assigning predefined functions to the panels.
I don´t know, but you could probably allow to create buttons through recreating the panel with pan_create which will make some troubles for the preview but should at least work for the exportet code (within the editor it probably has to be done with panels).
I would prefer ctrl+d for duplicating and the possibility to delete on x as well but thats not really important

I like the overall control and look of your editor and hope that you will finish it because I am really fed with creating such panel stuff

Hi do you have tutorial stuff like that on this program.

Thanks.
