Ah yes, I joined recently, thank you.

 

[sdwvit]

Is it built on electron? Or qt webview? Any way, is there something stopping you for putting this online?

Electron.
Yes the application uses nodeJS so it can't be put online.

thanks, any plans on releasing source code on github?

Is it possible to Added 3 new items to already 6 items on bottom Hero UI. So we can have 9 items?
Thanks for the answer!

No, you can't increase the number of classical items, but you can make a custom item system with frames that can have as many items as you want.

 

[DarkIllidan]

I see with this thing someone can make a entirely new UI. AWESOME work to be honest. Not a Good job but A GREAT JOB well done.

Can I put a new UI look that will have 9 items in place where the normal Inventory was and just don't use the normal Inventory? Put all items that I pick up to that new inventory that will have 9 items. So I can change UI to get that Look? Thank you for answering.

im sorry but this is for which version?

Yes you can make a completely custom inventory UI and put it in the same place and code it well.

Certainly powerful and well made, i just hope people will remain appreciative of the default ui.

Some issues:

• Changing the width and height in the left number boxes is not applied when pressing enter. It somehow changes back to the previous value.
• Where can I change the font? Natives allow specifying the font with a file path or something.
• When I save my json file I have to specify it again and again. Just store the file path.
• No shortcuts for save etc. buttons?
• Allow aligning widgets either at the whole background, other frames or helper lines (like in Gimp).
• Undo shortcut Ctrl+Z does not work for me (German keyboard layout) only the manual click works.
• Code generation needs some options like: one GUI per player with examples how it is shown for only one player or a force, arrays and loops for multiple similar buttons instead of all created manually but this might be hard to achieve.
• Support more properties of frames like

  BlzFrameSetModel                            takes framehandle frame, string modelFile, integer cameraIndex returns nothing

  even without previewing it which will be part of the generated code.
• Allow more event handlers to be generated by code for all the different mouse events etc.
• Isn't there some text input widget like for the chat?
• How can you allow scrollbars in both directions for widgets?
• How can I move a widget to the background or foreground?
• Are contexts and priorities considered? I am not even sure how they are used in JASS.

 

[Spacebuns]

Does this tool let me move the elements of the default UI (portrait, minimap, buttons) around?

@Barade Your suggestions & issues have been noted

1 & 3: No idea why it doesn't work for you. It works normally with me.
2: Changing font native doesn't work with frames generated with code (i.e. it doesn't work)
4: This property is made for only specific frame types that aren't made in the app yet.
5: sOoN. 6: I assume you mean Horizontal Bar not "scrollbar". If you mean you want vertical bar, that isn't natively supported by WC3.
7: Currently the application unfortunately doesn't handle refreshing Element's layers (which element goes above the other), however there's a workaround for this limitation which is Save/Load to refresh the layering. Will be fixed soON.
8: They are of no use for this way of generating frames.

Not yet

I was writing about scroll bars. If you have a text area or something with too much spaces it generates scroll bars just like in the browser. I have no idea how or if Warcraft supports this in any way.

I don't know, but there's a standalone scrollbar frame that can be put on a text area and coded to do the same. (Not in RUID yet)

 

[Spacebuns]

Crossing fingers that we have the ability to manipulate (scale, translation) those elements one day!

 

[Mivel]

this is hardcore

 

[NightKnight]

Is this UI usable only for reforged and can it be used in classic?


If it's Reforged only, any plans on making it for classic as well?

@Crusher Replying to your question in the Bug Report section; The UI is usable by both modes equally.

 

[NightKnight]

Update!! Version 2.5.0 has been released!

 

[NightKnight]

2 quick hotfixes!

Reforged UI Designer v2.6.0 Released!

We've also finally moved into Discord!

 

[Aldeia]

Suggestion
- Add a option to set the element to have a click effect (similar to default wc3 buttons)

1. Options menu item doesn't work.
2. Is it possible that this tool exports codes including trigger into trigger editor of world editor by creating a new trigger in trigger editor? If it is done, your tool could become more automatic and intelligent. I have achieved that functionality in Intuitive Effect and Scenario designers, I am glad to provide you my source code if you need.

It's a shortcut to opening the General Options in the left panel.

soon.

I see it as too much hassle and effort that can be put into other functionalities, as well as that some devs dont use the classic trigger editor, some devs already have premade triggers with older versions of their exported project, etc.

For further discussions and suggestions you're welcome to join the discord for easier communication!

Trying to learn this tool. Any way to get a backdrop to cover the whole 16.9 screen?

Also, it says it's made to be compatible with TriggerHappy's w3ts, but when I export to TypeScript, vs code throws errors saying that the type 'Frame' is undefined. Is there a way to fix that?

Can someone upload 1 example Map for the Inventory/shop i just cant figure it out to work ingame even with the Tutorial. the Tutorial Youtube video leaves questions behind >.<
or more tutorials please ;(

Take my 5-star rating,

is the

call BlzFrameSetTexture( BackdropElementName, udg_StringVariable, 0, true)

Local or does everyone get the same Texture if I use this function?

If not how do I prevent desyncs when using GetLocalPlayer() or does this even desync at all?

I can reference the udg_StringVariable to something else for others but that would change the Texture for them also,
isnt there a way to save BackdropElementName to a variable and change it based on the outcome of GetLocalPlayer(), (I tried to save it as a String, didnt work because its a framehandle?)

set udg_Temp_Player = GetTriggerPlayer()
set udg_Temp_Button = "InvisibleDummyButton"

if GetLocalPlayer() == udg_Temp_Player then

      set udg_Temp_Button = "BackdropElementName"

endif

call BlzFrameSetTexture( udg_Temp_Button, udg_StringVariable, 0, true)

It is global, everyone get the change.

      set udg_Temp_Button = "BackdropElementName"

call BlzFrameSetTexture( udg_Temp_Button, udg_StringVariable, 0, true)

No you don't do any of that. You simply just put the call BlzFrameSetTexture inside the local block, and no it doesn't desync (All of the UI natives don't desync, except for BlzGetFrameByName).
So all you'll need is

if GetLocalPlayer() == udg_Temp_Player then

      call BlzFrameSetTexture( frame, udg_StringVariable, 0, true)

endif

Thank you very much for clarifying it! That's so nice that it can be called locally.

EDIT: Is there also a option to give it Hotkeys or is this function bound to GLUEBUTTONS?

 

[Lt_Hawkeye]

Great tool though it is missing a few features like the slider/scrollbar, group selection.

The zoom option should try to maintain a similar central point when zooming out and in. Right now, the zoom option forces you to scroll back to where you were or even sometimes puts you completely far out from what you were looking at. I also suggest a slower zooming option.

Also not sure if this is a bug, but array information from the side panel would sometimes disappear after saving and opening a UI reforged designer while the array information will remain in the code when exported but not in the tool itself.

A reset camera option would be great as of right now, the zooming option can be clunky.

 

[valkemiere]

can i request custom ui. because i dont understand to manage it

 

[DarkIllidan]

One of the most useful tool in all Warcraft III community xD

 

[HerlySQR]

This tool is very cool and useful, I only wish it has more features to be like various designer programs like I can select more than 1 frame or things like that.

 

[Stormgoddd]

Using v2.6.0. The tool is awesome so far. But there is an annoying bug. The zoom doesnt work when pressing alt+mousewheel. When I spam it at the beginning, I get a small zoom, but nothing besides that works and I cant even zoom back out afterwards. That bug is super annoying, because I can not see the frames as good from so far away.

 

[Tomas Ninja]

cool program, but
Can i make here user interface like this?
