mainui_cpp

Main Menu UI for Xash3D FWGS engine, built entirely in C++.

Key features:

• Custom font renderer with multiple backends based on FreeType, stb_truetype and GDI on Windows
• Unicode and l10n support
• Completely self-contained, just clone this repo (with --recursive) and add to your mod
• Complex widget containers system, ability to put widget into containers into container
• Window system as a continuation of containers system
• Client-side menus (needs to be documented)

Including mainui_cpp in your mod

1. Clone this repo: git clone --recursive https://github.com/FWGS/mainui_cpp to your mod source code tree.
2. If you use:
   • CMake: invoke add_subdirectory(mainui_cpp) in your CMakeLists.txt file
   • Waf/WAiFu: invoke ctx.add_subdirectory('mainui_cpp') in your wscript file
   • Visual Studio: if you want to build it from your mod tree, include vs2022/mainui_cpp.vcxproj to your mod solution, or use vs2022/mainui_cpp.sln.
3. Place your built menu.dll/libmenu.so ALONGSIDE your client.dll/client.so.
4. Check that everything is working and happy hacking!

Notes and restrictions

• mainui_cpp doesn't supports original Xash3D anymore. If it's possible, you can switch to Xash3D FWGS, otherwise you're on your own. I will accept patches to enable other Xash3D forks, but I won't support them on my own.
