Aleš Ulm 1725 Posted July 19, 2019 Hey there, fellow ylanders! Today we’ll talk about a truly amazing (and stylish!) feature that will help creators make games with much friendlier user interfaces that give more control over the player experience in custom made games. This feature we’re talking about is the new GUI (Graphical User Interface) Editor...inside the Editor (this time we’ll omit the obvious Inception reference ? ). So far making a custom GUI was limited only to solid color panels and texts with rather limited formatting options. Well, no more. Please welcome the new GUI Editor which let’s you add and edit visual elements in a user friendly matter. New GUI Editor (Work In Progress) Let me just give you a quick taste of what you’re going to get: edit positions and scale of elements in a natural, intuitive way add solid color boxes or images from internal image library advanced anchoring system that lets you position elements relative to specified screen areas or stretch them in a specified manner. This way your GUI will display correctly with various screen aspect ratios. define your button elements and perform actions when they’re pressed via Visual Scripting (mouse pointer becomes visible whenever you activate such a dynamic panel) New GUI Editor (Work In Progress) As you can see, this is a HUGE win for creators - with this new addition, the level of custom games can truly skyrocket into unseen heights. We can't wait to deliver this (and a LOT of other) new feature to you in the 0.14 update. And that’s it for today. Have a great week and until we talk again - stay classy! 8 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indomitus 388 Posted July 19, 2019 This looks fantastic. How much of it will be dynamic/changeable in script? Text? Add, remove, or move elements like buttons? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oliver Hope 261 Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) Looking forward to this! Can we get a sneak peek of the image library? Edited July 19, 2019 by Oliver Hope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miguel Preguisa 443 Posted July 19, 2019 Great! I was really looking forward to it and it seems like a great implementation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Igor Q. 519 Posted July 19, 2019 If all the side requests get through I should be able to do alot of stuff with this *fingers crossed* 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jchob 354 Posted July 21, 2019 Seems nice. Having new buttons in a UI pabel to perform actions seems more cool than using dialogue. Actually, I don't like the dialogue logic look, I think it was better before the GUI changed in 0.12 I think? Anyway, as mentioned, can we have a look at image library? It will contain all the items icons and such? Thanks ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CdriXX 29 Posted July 26, 2019 Again an update about the editor ... ok it's great ... but for the other players ? No official servers to play, always reset on private servers ?!!!!!?♂️Seriously, could you post one or two official servers for the community (and no gold rush servers) ? @Aleš Ulm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedEagle_P1. 905 Posted July 26, 2019 Even official server had to reset -- they get too laggy otherwise. P1 is the highest quality experience you can have in Ylands atm since BB and pass clean up and help deal with trouble markers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
