Changing the cursor.
« on: 22 March 2009, 02:55:38 »
I was wondering if this was at least possible to do in the game?

With the new GUI library in GAE v3 you will be able to. Just a matter of time.

Why would you want to change the cursor anyway? I'd rather get rid of it. The standard cursor is far better than any game cursor possible. You gotta remember that the cursor is just a little image that is updated frequently as the mouse moves on coordinates (x,y). The normal mouse (outside of glest) updates at a high speed, and is much better. And best of all, there is already a patch to get rid of the glest one, leaving the normal mouse behind!

How do you do that?

No i like the cursor i was more or less talking about the move cursor when you click it shows a 3d arrow i wanted to change that , and also i would like to update the cursor over resources and units such as a target for attack and a drill for mining and gathering also a wrench for repairing this is why i have looked at the code , but i didn't want to crash the game i just wanted to know if glest was capable of doing this so is that a yes or a no?

This is not possible without modifying the source and compiling. I don't know of any patch that modifies it either.

Oh. Then for GAE 0.3 can we have just the normal mouse (not the glest one). Two mice are a waste of time  ;D
