Custom GUI #142

Now that custom dialog windows and so forth can be created, is it worth converting any of our features over to have a gui interface?

I am not sure of the degree of flexibility of this particular system. But it would integrate the economy system more seamlessly if we could adopt this feature.

AFAIK it mainly applies to controls in custom blocks.. which would be of limited use to us, but you never know.

ok let me break down what we have to work with: 1: line art/line drawing as used in laser drill, shipyard and nanite mode 2: custom text on screen as used by TextAPI 3: we have modapi access to key scancodes we can use to allocate hotkeys 4: mission window 5: LCD text and custom editor boxes 6: Mission HUD 7: Custom player toolbar HUD coloring and positioning 8: no access to the right click drag item qty/value editor that i know of.. can you check that ? If we go old school, but a little newer than our command line interface we could build a keyboard menu API eg: Trade menu: Press < > to select items, / to confirm.
