Are you open to suggestions about the GUI and is this a good place?

I'm open about GUI engine improvements, as long as they don't break too much existing code.
I don't think I want to spend much time on the actual GUI code, aside from fixing planned issues: 5852 5282

My main concern about the GUI is found in the objectives screen. Trying to compare the differences between Easy-Medium-Hard difficulties when the list of objectives is long is a daunting task because of the large fonts and the next/prev page system.

To keep thing simple, I think the problem could be solved if we somehow could reduce the size of the font in the objective list, either via config file or in-game via A+ and A- buttons. A more elaborated approach would involve scrollbars.

Please let me know if didn't explain myself well or if you require clarifications to understand what I am talking about.

Many thanks.

That's already possible. Chech your video/advanced settings. There is an option to adjust the hud size.

Now, that is useful. Funny how long it takes sometimes until someone comes up with such a small yet huge tweak.

There are more changes in dev16599-10071, please read the original post.

Basically:

  • vector component indexing is fixed
  • expression evaluation order fixed
  • don't disable auto-updates of register because of a reference to it
  • Set command can now have expressions on right side

I wonder if we have information about GUI scripts anywhere that should be updated?

I've noticed a lot of new GUI warnings when loading various FMs - haven't looked too closely at that, though.

Yes, all those missions have incorrect GUIs, including Saint Lucia and New Job.

The original GUI engine did not report any kind of error, just tried to continue doing something. And it had some bugs.
The latest GUI engine reports almost all issues as warnings, has most bugs fixed, and still tries to continue despite errors.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
