Devide CEGUI and OGRE: not both in Engine3D

Kaeru Gaman · Post by **Kaeru Gaman** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 9:07 pm

would it be possible to devide OGRE and CEGUI into two different engines?

... because one may want to use the Gadget3D functions, but on a 2D game,
and with OGRE some functionalities of 2D are extremely different...

... or is CEGUI a funtion of OGRE...?

I second this one.
Alternatively, add a fullscreen 2D GUI.

The lack of such an option was the reason I had to write my own GUI from scratch so I would appreciate this feature.

This would be a great addition!

Yes, I would also appreciate that. Would make some things (2D Programming) much easier. Don't have to waste time on programming GUI...

Edit: but wait... isn't CEGUI using Targa Image Files for the Textures (Alpha Channel!)? How to implement that into the Sprite&Screen Library?

But I also read, that CEGUI is so flexible/modular/whatever, that the Back End also can be chosen freely (Oh, I really feel the bad sentence structure in this one ^^).
