02arnoldj Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Hi there, What do people use to make Menus for their games ? James Quote
Andy Gilbert Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Do you mean graphically? In the past and and If i was to now, i would create all graphics in photoshop and then script the menu in leadwerks.

AggrorJorn Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 I would make some sort of GUI system. Starting with buttons and later on expanding this with chexboxes and sliders. During the creation of every button, I allways specify an image or the color of the button. Quote
YouGroove Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 LE 3 shoul provide some GUI editor later i hope. Quote Stop toying and make games
02arnoldj Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 Thanks guys, i was thinking about using the editor and setting a camera to view the menu. That way i could have a 3D menu that moves slightly etc when you select an Option. Kinda like Race Driver GRID if anyone remembers that? Quote
Daimour Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 ParaToxic did something similar in LE2: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/videos/_/-r179 Quote
stevejarman Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Hi - I'm new; just playing around with the LE3 demo (which looks great). The first stumble I ran into was whether or not there is any sort of built-in GUI tool, and then I found this thread. Just want to confirm for certain that this doesn't exist in the product?

Rick Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Correct. Currently you have to roll your own. It's on the creators To Do list for the future though. Quote
stevejarman Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Thanks for the confirmation. GvB looks neat by the way Pretty cool idea. Quote http://www.stevejarman.com . http://twitter.com/sjarm
xAbraKaZebra Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Is there a tutorial on how to do it? Also, do we use 1 map for the main menu and then another map for the actual game? I am super confused. Quote
gamecreator Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 The short version is that you use Load to load a texture, which is a picture of a button or menu background, then DrawImage to display it. Then you use either mouse or keyboard commands to detect their selection and activation. But I believe there are both C++ and Lua code to use if you search the forums. Quote
montmars Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Correct. Currently you have to roll your own. It's on the creators To Do list for the future though. Has this been implemented yet? it's been a few years .... Quote
AggrorJorn Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 This is a bit of an old thread, but there are systems available. The official Leadwerks UI has yet to be released. The workshop has a free UI solution and there is FlowGUI as alternative free solution. 1 Quote
