Hey ArathHunter,

the new GUI is completely different and incompatible with the old skins, you will need to recreate them!
But the new GUI offers more editing options!
You can already find documentation about it on the CEGUI site:

https://www.cegui.org.uk/wiki/index.p...gory:Tutorials

And some already made skins:

For now the new GUI is using the TaharezLook skin.

Well... that's a bit discouraging. I'll have to take a look more into those links when I can do it properly. Hopefully it won't be too hard. Thanks for the help Roby.

Oh, the GUI and banners looks so good!

A suggestion would to have a cursor, like a blinking cursor position so we know where we're typing. Even a "|" would do, just to identify the location. Swallow the keys pressed, as I noticed in the video some keys are triggering actions creating the button bleep sound. May be hard to as I already notice that it does swallow anyway.

In regards to functions (I assume for custom scripts):

- GUI_DrawText(int id, string gui_id, string Text, float PositionX, float PositionY, float Size, array Color4)
Drawing text to the screens of players.

- GUI_DrawShape(int id, string gui_id, string shape, float PositionX, float PositionY, float SizeX, float SizeY, array Color4)
Draw a shape, defined by "shape", rectangle, circle, etc...

- GUI_SetPosition(int id, string gui_id, float PositionX, float PositionY)
Edits an elements position, uses the gui_id.

- GUI_Remove(int id, string gui_id)
Removes an element from a client's display.

- GUI_SetSize(int id, string gui_id, float SizeX, float SizeY)
Edits an elements size, uses the gui_id. If it's a text, ignores SizeY.

- GUI_Color4(int r[255], int g[255], int b[255], int a[255])
Creating a color to work with the drawing of objects.

- GUI_ChatVisibility(int id, bool Visible)
Toggling the visibility of the chatbox, maybe a server wants to hide the chatbox in certain situations?

Few suggestions, would be nice to get some implementation in the script for drawing elements
