oh my god I love you

[leileilol]

i like this, together with dp's loadfont you can make a very convincing ripoff

[avirox]

It's not meant to be a ripoff, just a way to mimic the functionality of more modern in-game GUI's. You can go well above and beyond the simple box/branch system, but for simplicity I've kept it to that for the first 2 parts of this tutorial. Maybe later I'll write a third part on SSQC=>CSQC GUI interaction, because that's where the sweet spot of these menus really lies.

Very nice work!
Something like this will certainly save me some work!

Thanks guys! Anyways, I noticed that in the first post the code for the MENUFLAG_DISABLED flag was not added. This has been remedied. The two functions I changed were:

MouseInBox()
CSQCGUI_Render()

I'm also cooking up a new quick tutorial for drop-down menus.

So, if I want to use this approach using Darkplaces, what should the changes be? It could really change the appearance of my upcoming Quantum Engine.

I see nothing mentioned in that tut that will fail with DP.

Although you will need FTEQCC to compile it (thanks to 'switch' and '#define'), but you could recode those parts if you want to use FrikQCC.

Good news for lazy people! I've compiled a little "clean" version of the CSQC GUI which acts as a standalone CSQC mod. You can download it . This is a CSQC mod with the GUI already implemented + the first menu tutorial above. The above tutorials are for implementing the menus into your existing CSQC mod, but this source is only for those starting a new one. Needs FTEQCC/GUI to compile.
