And what does that mean?. Is it no different that helral`s method of rearranging parts of the GUI around or..?

@EternalWraith: Go

Because its better. and not buggy

I'm testing some bank signature now, all it seems is to add a signature into the bank file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Bank version="1">
    <Section name="String">
        <Key name="Intro">
            <Value string="This NOT is a test"/>
        </Key>
    </Section>
    <Signature value="92DAE3793E2DA72F09F02B4350AE0AA52FD126C1"/>
</Bank>

You can ask him if his method could modify inventory's size, or remove minimap buttons, or change the layout of the command buttons.

Dialog template can do something, but it is limited. It just allow you to create a existed template.

Its so happen that I did a post about Signature in battle.net half days ago

That's why we need you :P

One question: does this allow one to create ui buttons linked to unit abilities that do not suffer from the key-pressed-event-delay? I.e. can I make ui items that work with normal hotkeys?

So, basically, this new function lets you "customize" your own UI without having to use dialog boxes, or am I understanding it wrong? :S

PS: Renee2islga, where's that avatar from? it's familiar, but I don't know why xD.

Mouse tracking has been tested and worked perfectly with precision of 1.0

Well I didn't see this post before. Im a chinese, and Im not good at english, so browsing the forum will take some effort. There is someone (sixen?) who recommended this forum to me before, but due to network issues I've never been here.

But I think modify UI is not a undocumented change, right?

Basically you can, with the new CItemAbil class, but it may not as flexible as you would image.

Yes, it literally allows you to modify the UI files of this game. You can even create new temlates that doesn't exist in the game.

As for my avatar. It must be a wrong impression. My avatar comes from nowhere, it's me, one of my friend painted this for me. Only if you have been to my own forum bbs.islga.org before. It is unlikely, cause my forum is a Chinese forum.

Yeah documented but it is not achieved through normal means (i.e. we force the editor to launch and finds out how it work). Just post there for now.

Sixen is the admin of sc2mapster. We always welcome you here :)

i have some questions...

the custom ui stuff.. is it possible now to create an always-open hero inventory, like wc3 style?

it was not posible before, so i hope it is now..

the other question is, about that bank file.. anyone knows how exactly it works? i mean if you theoretically could change some values in a bank file, and change the signature value to the correct one, would that work? or does it really knows when the file has been edited manually?

would be easy to recreate some banks and get the correct signature i think..

@PatchOne: Go

At this point, im not sure if you can do a always-open hero inventory or not, it still needs more tests.

Its mid-night in China, so I should go to sleep. Good luck you guys.

@progammer: Go

Ok

Can you swap custom UI layouts midgame? If so that would be too awesome.

Then I must have seen someone similar in an anime or something. Dunno. Whatever, if you're like in that picture, you're awesome xDDD (I'm saving the picture until I find the one I mistook you with).

Thanks a lot for the UI answer. At last I'm going to be able to build my own real UI.

And welcome to SC2Mapster ;).
