Blurb A simple GUI that covers all the tex/v-commands.

Detailed description

A simple GUI for all your tex/v-command needs.
Made for Justice Edition, though, it should work in SVN as well.

GUI Covers:
-vscale (automatically snapped to the nearest whole cube scale; setting the slider to 0 resets the texture to it's default scale)
-voffset
-vrotate
-vcolor (w/ sliders for red, green, and blue multipliers, as well as an added shade slider)
-vscroll
-valpha (Automatically adds alpha material if need be; "Remove valpha" button resets valpha to default and material to "air".

Features:
-Edits in real-time. (This means less guessing at values, and more precise control)
-Last-used settings are saved, even after restart.
-Menu is small, so you can actually see the cube you are editing.
-"/vcolorc" command that works just like "/vcolor" command, but takes values in the range of 0-255 instead of 0-1

Install:
-Just like every other script in Sauer...
-Add these lines to "autoexec.cfg": "exec texmenu.cfg" & "editbind (some_key) [showgui texgui]"(I highly recommend "editbind F1 [showgui texgui]")

Update: 7/16/2012
-Added voffset's vertical and horizontal flip/mirroring of textures
-Fixed "Apply texcolor" button so it applies the "Shade" as well as the color.
-"Apply..." and "Reset/Remove..." buttons no longer close the GUI.

Update: 7/16/2012
-Added valpha tab.

Update: 7/20/2012
-Fixed vscale options and "Apply Changes" button so they won't reset voffet or vrotate now.

Planned:
-Add vshaderparam tab.(Don't hold your breath...)

Config file texmenu.cfg (7.35 KB)

arghh, i just started to make a vcommands gui yesterday >_<

SomeDude | 2012-07-16 15:35

I only just made this yesterday, myself. XD

Seems to be a quiet useful script, but it's still lacking some points. For example;
- The vshaderparam command.
- Some of the parameters could be some more, as for scaling you could go up to 8 instead of 7.
- The texrotate command lacks the option of flipping the texture on it's x or y-axis (which are 4 and 5 in usual texrotate).
- The sliders are a bit too close to each other when hovering on them. You easily modify an unwanted value. What about you have to click before you actually modify it or just making the space bigger?

SomeDude | 2012-07-16 15:40

Guess I should have posted this as W.I.P.
-I wasn't aware of the vshaderparam, but I'll add it now. ^.^
-I wasn't sure how high was practical, but I'll change it to 8.
-Ah, I knew I was forgetting something. I'll add the flip/mirroring.
-Ik they are a bit too close, but I don't know how to space them w/o putting some kind of blank field in between them. Also, I want to keep the overall size of the menu rather small, if possible, so players can still see the cube they are editing.

Thx

Be sure to check out other parameters as well, because that was only an example.
For the vshaderparam command, good luck, because it looks pretty though to me.

SomeDude | 2012-07-16 18:25

Well, I've played around a little w/ the shader commands before... if I can manage it, I'll still add it.
-EDIT- I managed to find a good reference for "/vshaderparam", it looks like it'll be a large menu though...

Also, it looks like vscale can't go any higher than 8(which is 7 on the slider). Do you mean you'd like it to be 1-8 instead of 0-7?

RaZgRiZ | 2012-07-16 19:37

vscale ranges from 0.1 to 10.

SomeDude | 2012-07-16 20:50

Ah, well then I still can't extend that slider any further, since it snaps to the nearest whole-cube-size.

Thanks for the clarification Raz.

SomeDude | 2012-07-16 19:07

Does anyone have any preferences about the "Apply..." and "Reset/Remove..." buttons closing the menu? At the moment, they do, but I'm thinking of changing that in the next version...

Also, I do not plan on adding tex/vlayer, as I have not figured out a good method to implement it into a GUI at the moment.(Ideas are welcomed)

Skur | 2012-07-17 09:44

yea i would change that.

SomeDude | 2012-07-18 00:11

Wish granted. Update posted.

^.^

SomeDude | 2012-07-19 00:36

Update: Added valpha tab. (idk why I hadn't thought of it before... lol)

hey SomeDude!! xD
thanks so much for your script and the reply for it. I'm sorry I've somehow missed it and it's the first time I've tried it out yesterday. It's amazing! thanks for putting it under CC-BY =)

Is there an option to lower the menu a little so you can see the textures you edit better? or make it more transparent?

And we've seen your stuff map. You're nothing short of a god, really. we admire your work so much! :D

please feel free to join us anytime! we'd feel incredibly honored! =)

love, meow! =)

Sadly no, the menu is always centered in the middle of the screen, and there is no way to make the menu transparent(That ik of) in normal Sauer. That's why I tried to make this menu as small as possible.

Sidenote: I use cm|edition(Found on: http://cubicmatter.net/forums/), which has the menus almost completely transparent by default(not ideal, but it works).

zombie-apocalypse | 2012-08-20 22:13

oh ok =/ well, thank you very much! got the public edition now and I'm going to try it soon! :D
