Custom UI

...I installed over the old version ...

Unless you installed and cleared the directory i would suggest a clean install. Never install a major release over an old version - it can cause problems.

If you want to check it out, it's probably easiest to get a nightly download for 2.5 and try it out that way. Check the download page under "development (latest) for Nightly Builds.

Can I install 2.4 and 2.5 versions of the game in different directories? Will they work? Or I must choose only one version?

I'll try to reinstall game.

How do you get this custom ui to work, because it always crashes on me. I did this:

Code: [Select]

$ ./ufo +set fs_gamedir uidev
And got this at the end:

Code: [Select]

FS_RemoveFile: remove /home/christian/.ufoai/2.5-dev/uidev/keys.cfg
There are still 1 opened files
Error: Received signal 11.
And all I can see is the loading screen for about 1 second.

As mentioned before, from this point it's probably easier to download a nightly build to view the UI's work in progress (keep in mind the name has been changed from uidev to ui2).

Edit - mod is not available in nightly builds yet. You must get it from GIT and compile yourself.

Ah, okay, "ui2" it is. Was a little bit confused about this "nightly build" thing.

it also exists a gui to switch: ui_push mods

Looks awesome, especially for a touchscreen.

Still work in progress. I wouldn't try to play with this UI yet. There is still a lot that just doesn't work.

[wizardelo]

noticed, even tho it looks awesome
the text is a bit fuggly but that maybe because im on a linux machine.

Did I miss the download link? Or will this be released with the stable 2.5 version? Looks great!

[Crystan]

Its released with the 2.5 GIT version only - afaik it isnt featured in the nightly builds. Oh and you have to activate it through a console command.
