RE: My Questions
A tutorial on how to create a shader that does the same as the default one would be nice.

Other questions:
  • Mesh editor and the world editor seem to automatically convert images to the .gfx format. If I load, let's say a bmp file in code, will that work? Will it also be converted? Or do I have to do that prior to loading by using the converter tool?
  • Is there any way to move the mouse cursor using code?
  • How can I make the cursor stay in place? // Ms.freeze()...
  • Are there (where?) methods to convert text to numbers (Str --> Int/Flt)? // found them, ... Text...()
  • Why aren't the class destructors (of all the gui elements for example) declared virtual???

RE: My Questions
3.: The Window destructor:
Code:
~Window(){del();}
...
Why don't they need to be? What if I extend these classes... the destructor of the base class won't get called!

RE: My Questions
if a method is declared virtual in base class, then you dont need to declare it as virtual in all extended classess, because this is done automatically..

RE: My Questions
How do you enable that files can be dropped on some gui controls? Do you use the App.drop function and process the result based on Gui.ms?
Or is there a way to enable file dropping for a specific gui element?

yes, but you need to have APP_WORK_INbackground.. enabled, so Gui.ms will be set when application is not in focus

RE: My Questions
  • Is it allowed to create tools for this engine and maybe even sell them?

do you have anything specific in mind?

A daytime settings (sun position, color, ray color, fog, light color, dof, hdr settings, etc.) & weather (cloud density, color, global particle effect, fog density multiplier) editor... (basically like the time of day editor in cryengine2 sandbox2, but more advanced and with weather settings)

RE: My Questions
yes, if you want you're free to make such a tool
selling this tool (with this kind of functionality range) can be done after purchasing Personal License (if you don't own a company)

Yes it is, because you can change these and more settings over time.
