\t\t\t\tI need to add a moddable GUI system to RakNet so that users using the lobby don’t have to implement the 40 or so client features themselves. The problem is that this is such a huge task when you think about it. I would need a cross-platform graphics system that can work at the same time as the user’s game. Then there needs to be a GUI system on top of that, and not just windows but all the little effects too. Effects usually include sound, so that’s another issue (at least I can use FMOD there). Of course, to interact with the GUI system it also needs an input system, and the input system has to be either stand-alone or work with the end-users own input system.<\/p>\n

There’s some free GUI systems out there (wxWidgets among others) but none of them support consoles as far as I know.<\/p>\n

There’s Scaleform<\/a> but I don’t want to learn flash and it’s not free. Still, that’s probably the best compromise I’m going to find. It’s certainly easier than trying to roll my own complete solution.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
