World: r3wp

So, r3-gui.r3 is just a loader, not the whole GUI code?

The r3-gui.r3 is the whole code, but it "gets" the information from 
the main (loader) file

Will be corrected.

The fact, that you are insisting you used our r3-gui.r3 version while 
at the same time proving yourself wrong stating that you always ran 
a different version not obtained from us puzzles me. How can you 
describe 

state of the gui" in such case is totally beyond my understanding."

You are puzzled because you are putting words in my mouth. I never 
stated I never ran your version. In fact, I implored you to read 
the opposite in the discussion archive

The file with the whole code should at least have a modified date 
that matches when it was last built, or match the most recent modified 
date of its component parts.

Ladislav, are you now forbidding me to speak on publicly available 
projects that I tried?

the r3-gui.r3 should be obtained from:

http://www.rm-asset.com/code/level1/r3-gui/

The link on your website is the link Jocko mentioned

If I load RMA's original GUI in Jocko's R3, I get the same result
 - this is a citate, proving:

1) you stated you used our r3-gui.r3

2) you have proven yourself wrong by obtaining a result that can 
be obtained only from Jocko's code

Whatever, Ladislav. Playground fights are years behind me

Ladislav, are you now forbidding me to speak on publicly available 
projects that I tried?

 - no, I am just suggesting that you are trying to speak publicly 
 about project you *did not try*

Whatever. How will I demonstrate software tomorrow without trying 
it? ReBorCon must be the best magic show ever!

For me, that makes a huge difference.

You're a good wizard yourself. You magically know what projects I'm 
going to talk about

Aha, so, you are stating, that what you mentioned in the ReBorCon 
2011 group was not true?

I'm having a good laugh over here

This ceases to make any sense

Yes, you long ago ceased making sense

I am not trying to forbid you to speak about anything, but am publicly 
making a disclaimer: Kaj has proven himself wrong when stating he 
tried the r3-gui as available from rm-asset.

I invite you to come over tomorrow to make this clear to the people

Thanks, unfortunately, I cannot

Next time when we try to promote someone's project, we'll have them 
sign a contract in advance stating that they want it

Pekr, regarding the Box-model: did you read

http://www.rm-asset.com/code/level1/r3-gui/resizing/

, where the box-model description (needs update!) is?

To recap:

- Kaj has reported crashes of a111 on WINE, both RMA's and Jocko's 
builds. He doesn't use Windows, the supported platform.

- RMA needs to update its modified date for r3-gui.r3 when it changes 
its component parts.

- Jocko now knows his build was outdated, and has likely updated 
it. This will solve the additional Jocko build problems.


- Ladislav, please note that Kaj's crashes with the RMA build were 
WINE-related. Only later did he try Jocko's build. Testing on WINE 
might help.

- Kaj, please try demoing on Windows if possible, and if you aren't 
too annoyed to demo the RMA GUI stuff.

Could the RMA build be updated to alpha 111? This all started because 
the release notes of alpha 111 said that R3 was now compatible with 
the RMA GUI, but RT's build is a core build. This is why Jocko had 
to compile his own build from the alpha 111 host kit.

the change log for A111 does not claim such a thing

Agreed, but that is how "The most current graphics library changes 
have been included. Many thanks to Cyphre and the RMA project." was 
interpreted.

The update is planned for the next Friday, or later (some changes 
are on the way, and Cyphre was sick, planning originally do make 
some adjustments, so we do not expect to post an update sooner).

Could we be pleasant to each other ?  This type of sniping is becoming 
worse .. though I gather stress can causing this.

I've been in this community from the very beginning .. this has only 
started to happen in the last year or so

( ignoring evolution threads )

Ladislav, thank you for the link http://www.rm-asset.com/code/level1/r3-gui/
. The point is that this link is a presentation page, referring to 
a second one (downloads) which at last leads to http://www.rm-asset.com/code/downloads/files/r3-gui.r3
... the link that I used from the beginning. And so far I have no 
means to check if the file that I use is the latest one. Are you 
sure from your side that this file has been updated, and corresponds 
to the version issued 28th, january ?

Brian, thank you for your clear recap and action list.

After checking, I confirm that the version that I used is different 
from the version presently available at this url. I will do a first 
trial with the new version (but probably not an extensive check).

good idea !

watching out for caching by ISPs.

Pekr, Kaj :

checking, and modifying the code. In some tens of minutes,I will 
put a new version, with the latest r3-gui.r3 version. Later (in some 
days) I will go more deep in the non working tests.
Pekr, thank you for the doc patch : it works

Thanks

just posted an updated version of the test-demo (version 0.3.0). 
It includes the latest version of r3-gui, dated 28-Jan-2011.

Brian, I don't have Windows. My life here is hard enough without 
adding that back into the mix

Kaj, please test it under wine ... and then focus on ReBorCon ;-)

Yep. Brian, in any case thanks for your constructive summary

RMA seems not to understand (or it is not its priority) the importance 
of visuals

 - That is not correct. The visual design is prioritized exactly where 
 it needs to be: When the architecture is settling. It would be *crazy* 
 to start doing skin work now, as styles are changing all the time. 
 I once fell into that trap on a project and spent 6 months redesigning 
 the same skin and in the end, we got nowhere.

Is the way of how styles are being drawn compatible with Carl's GUI. 
I definitely request scroller being progress + arrow button based, 
as I have goose bumps looking into the recen one, which has to come 
from different planet probably :-)

I mean - Carl's scrollbar was nearly perfect, is there any easy way 
I could port it?

You mean Car'ls scrollbar in R2? Because the R3 version is one big 
draw block, AFAIR.

I definitely request scroller being progress + arrow button based

 - I suppose you mean slider instead of progress? Anyhow, I'm not 
 sure that's likely to happen, as a slider is not the same thing as 
 a scrollbar and there would be too much code needed to write both 
 so they fit together.

no, taken from Carl's gui. How the hell scrollbar can be 16pixels, 
whereas progress is 22 pixels? It look like Mac OS-9 relic of the 
past, and is completly off with the rest of the design? I want to 
have it fixed, before I go mad :-)
