OpenGL expertise to help me?

[lodemia]

I need an object for a text entry box for the multiplayer mod.  This is to enter things like server IP address, player name and the like.  Can someone familiar with openGL code that for me (preferably as a mod to the original source).  The part that I don't "get" is how to render.  I'm too lazy to teach myself openGL, but I will if there are no takers.

Thanks -

You don't need to use OpenGL to render text in Glest.. you can use the small GUI api that its already implemented

I couldn't find a way to make a text entry box.  I was able to display text, create buttons, but nowhere could I figure out how to make a text entry box.

That's right, you can not, and is not easy to make (you would have to make it by yourself), but you can use an ini file for the IPs and this other stuff by now, if you get any kind of multiplayer working in Glest rest assured that I will implement the text box functionality for you.

wouldnot be easier to put the new button option into the glest.ini?
