I'm building an application that modify the current GUI system inside Ogre. I understand that in the 1.0 version, CEGUI will be the main GUI system for Ogre.

Now, I find CEGUI a bit too much and a bit to slow for my application purposes. The question I have is if the current GUI system in Ogre will disappear when CEGUI is in place? or will the current GUI system remains and the user/developers have options to use either GUI system?

Thanks.

The existing gui system will be replaced by CEGUI. Play with it a bit and you will see why.

the main static objects will stay (use the search button and you will find a detailed answer)

I did, and I'm in the minority saying this, but I did not like what I saw.

I'm not too good in search I guess as I cannot find anything regarding what exactly will stay, and what exactly will be removed.

Thanks for your answers.

All non-interactive GUI elements will be removed from the OGRE core. Of course, you're free to port the old OGRE gui to 1.0.0 but it isn't part of the core anymore, and the development team will not support it as we regard it as inherently broken.

Perfect, thank you for all the answers. It is a great help.

I will post the project as soon as it goes to beta

This is essentually what I am doing in spare moments. Although, it's more a rewrite then a port (I agree, the original design was broken). It's no longer based on the overlay classes, original input reader, etc. and is a completely separate plugin. However, there are still aspects of the design I'm working out, so I'm not prepared to release anything yet.

does CEGUI works under OSX (I guess: yes..)? if so is anybody already using it?

thanks.

Works on OSX. Been using it with my work.

Thank you guys, just one other question: if I start to implement cegui on my engine , may I have troubles when ogre 1.0 comes out? I mean, is it better to wait the next release or it doesn't matter?

thanks again.

Before 1.0 is released I will be updating the CEGUI Ogre Renderer to deal with the new resource system. I believe CE will try and release a new version of CEGUI at a similar time as our 1.0 release.

what do you suggest? may I start to work on gui?

thanks.

Post by **_mental_** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 6:59 pm

I would start working with CEGUI as all you should have to do is download and install the new version (or the latest CEGUI CVS) when we release OGRE 1.0.

I can confirm that this is the plan
