What is Beta Widget? And when is it planned to be used?
What is Beta Widget? And when is it planned to be used?
Something's been puzzling me for a while now. I've yet to discover what Beta Widget is, but there's something that supposedly comes after that which I'm looking forward to. Can someone tell me in layman's terms what Beta Widget is?
What I'm looking forward to is the proposed structure design GUI.

This is key to bringing WZ GPMs into the 21st century of RTS design serving a diversely rich set of battle strat & tac game play opportunities.
Even if all the old art were upgraded to current standards, WZ's battle game play would remain frozen in a shallow pond circa 1998 without BETA Widget / LUA.

Re: What is Beta Widget? And when is it planned to be used?
Unless someone picks up and finishes it, it isn't going to be used.
It also used some deprecated libs, was difficult to make work with anything but linux /mingw, (a MSVC port of some of those libs would take quite some time to fix).
Thus, it sits and waits for someone to fix all the issues it has.
Just not enough people to fix all the things that need fixing.
We do got allot of people that just talk...and talk...and talk (read that as complain), but do nothing to help, waiting for everything to be given to them on a silver platter, before they even attempt to do whatever their rant was about in the first place. :rolleyes: (and no, I am not talking about anyone in this thread. )

and it ends here.

The first thing that is holding up betawidget now is getting the Qt branch merged, since we would want to rebase betawidget on top of that to get rid of all the annoying extra dependencies. To merge the Qt branch, all we need is for it to build and run properly on Mac and Windows.
Re: What is Beta Widget? And when is it planned to be used?
I hope I understood this correctly:
BetaWidget is abandoned by its developer and uses odd, deprecated libraries.
Can we then upload the source of BetaWidget to SVN/branches/qt, so that someone (maybe me?) can fix its wierd dependencies (replace by modern, active libs) and compile it, ourselves, from source instead of the apparently obsolete version that exists today?

It is already there: See lib/betawidget/bornemix wrote:Can we then upload the source of BetaWidget to SVN/branches/qt, so that someone (maybe me?) can fix its wierd dependencies (replace by modern, active libs) and compile it, ourselves, from source instead of the apparently obsolete version that exists today?

So it's the two iVis libraries that needs to go?
Re: What is Beta Widget? And when is it planned to be used?
Also, please don't forget to commit your project file, sence you changed file extensions from c to cpp... The current revision won't compile as is, as it won't find main.cpp, amongst others...
Also, VC++ 2009, exceptionhandler/dumpinfo.cpp:line 328 wouldn't compile unless an underscore was added to strdup like so:

There is only one ivis library, and it has nothing to do with this.bornemix wrote:So it's the two iVis libraries that needs to go?
What we need help with, is getting the Qt branch working on Mac and Windows. When this is done, we can merge it into trunk, and the biggest obstacle to betawidget is gone.

Just use local patch for now, a major patch from Buginator is heading towards trunk, that including strdup fix among other things.

Sorry, I meant VC++2008. My bad. Also I made the local patch, no problem. Thanks...
The reason for me guessing that iVis was the problem, was the following:
Can you shed some ljus on these errors?

Re: What is Beta Widget? And when is it planned to be used?
That depends on what you're trying to build as I don't have those in trunk... I can't help you with betawidget if it's the case, as I have exactly ZERO knowledge about it...bornemix wrote:Can you shed some ljus on these errors?
