No, I think it's because Warzone doesn't support those characters at some level.

I really like the UI, really makes the game look up to date with current games. Very well done. :)

I love ever-enthusiastic folks, they are funny, IMO :D
But nighthawk is currently winning the contest, sorry, DarkCheetah ;)

BTW, Alphaeon last logged in 19, November. Total 2 posts, I think that we should look closer for Interface artists.

Is elio still working with his brilliant interface ideas?

As some of you know EvilGuru is the main developer of Betawidget. Perhaps he could give you a better view on the current situation. Afaik:
  • * According to Buginator the used library for loading SVG Images cannot be compiled under windows. The library is called libsvg-cairo (http://cairographics.org/snapshots/)
    There is an alternative called rsvg which is also easy to use but needs glib :(
    * Betawidget hasn't been integrated into the game yet.
    * Betawidget has a scripting interface for lua. But it's in an early, premature stage.
Further Information:

Using Qt-Toolkit
afaik there was/is also the idea of using the qt toolkit for gui. I saw recent activity on the qt branch and i heard rumours that qt doesn't hit performance.

Hey elio, long time...
As some of you know EvilGuru is the main developer of Betawidget. Perhaps he could give you a better view on the current situation. Afaik:
  • * According to Buginator the used library for loading SVG Images cannot be compiled under windows. The library is called libsvg-cairo (http://cairographics.org/snapshots/)

    * Betawidget hasn't been integrated into the game yet.
    * Betawidget has a scripting interface for lua. But it's in an early, premature stage.
Let me clarify that, it cannot be under windows (MSVC) 'as is'. It would require lots of changes, and I just didn't have the time to do such a thing. :(

For Qt, we can have SVG support with that, so that is a step in the right direction.
We just have to get the build system up and running for all supported platforms. Right now, it only works on linux machines.
It should also be possible to make a much better front end for WZ with Qt, so we could actually have a much better lobby screen...
and it ends here.
