Abstracted the GUI code and refactored the GUIChan-specific code into its own module.
* Most of the GUIChan code has been refactored into its own gui/guichan module. However, references to the GuiFont class still persist in the Engine and GuiManager code and these will need further refactoring.
* GuiManager is now an abstract base class which specific implementations (e.g. GUIChan) should subclass.
* The GUIChan GUI code is now a concrete implementation of GuiManager, most of which is in the new GuiChanGuiManager class.
* The GUI code in the Console class has been refactored out of the Console and into the GUIChan module as its own GuiChanConsoleWidget class. The rest of the Console class related to executing commands was left largely unchanged.
* Existing client code may need to downcast the GuiManager pointer received from FIFE::Engine::getGuiManager() to GuiChanGuiManager, since not all functionality is represented in the GuiManager abstract base class. Python client code can use the new GuiChanGuiManager.castTo static method for this purpose.

Usage: ------ Activate the plugin and select an instance. The selected instance will be highlighted, the plugin is set to visible or is updated accordingly. MOUSEWHEEL: - above the offset labels, it allows quick de-/ increasing of values - above dropdowns, it allows to change to the next entry (and apply it, e.g. animation viewer seamlessly plays the next selected animation) Object editing: By selecting a rotation, you can alter the offset of _this_ angle and save it to the object file. The selected instance is just an interface to see your changes - you can't change a single instances offset. Instance editing: Instances can't be edited - you can only type in an id which is set if it is unique. Saving your map also saves this id to your mapfile. Animation editing: ATM it is not possible to alter animations. You can use the animation viewer to check your defined actions though. Buttons: - p = "Play" - S = "Start" - E = "End" - l1 = "one frame left" - r1 = "one frame right User interface: --------------- The object section allows you to inspect: - namespace of the object - object id - blocking flag - static flag - current x/y offset The instance section shows: - instance id - instance rotation The animation viewer shows: - nothing, if a static instance is clicked - all actions of an instance - a control panel to play the animations The purpose of this plugin is to: - edit object xml files - edit the instance id of the selected instance - provide an animation viewer The main purpose is to easily change offsets and save these changes. (extremely helpful for the creation of tiled walls) Limitations: ------------ - only object data is saved - instances on the map are _not_ touched - exception is the instance id, this can be altered via this plugin - animations can't be edited and / or saved About ----- The Object Edit plugin was originally written by the Zero-Projekt team and was contributed to FIFE as an example for the editor plugin system and to encourage other projects within the FIFE community to also contribute their tools to enhance the Editor for all projects cheers, chewie Zero-Projekt team http://en.zero-projekt.net http://fifengine.net
