Thank you! I bought GameMaker (8.1, not that Studio stuff) a long time ago, but it still has the best sprite editor I can find. That with the texture explains everything, I though you had made some fancy gradient in photoshop or something 
Started a prototype integration of dear imgui to relax from exams. It is just a proof of concept for me, no need to compete with lemur or nifty. You can see the wireframe of a simple window with one button in the bottom left corner. It was a great feeling to get it working but a very long way is still in front of me⌠Letâs see how far I can get.
Edit: It is so small you have to click on the picture to see itâŚ

Working on rewriting JMEâs bitmap text support. Yes, thatâs right⌠thatâs how I roll.
Anyway, there is still a lot left to do but I can actually render something now:
The new bitmap font material support proper BM-Font borders as well as pixel-level clipping, etc⌠Coming along nicely so far.
Edit: and note: that particular font Iâm using has 4,4,4,4 padding all around⌠and this new code still renders it properly. Old BitmapText would add extra space to the top and bottom.

Since we havenât been here for a long time, I want to participate even with quite sorry ass video from very early stages of development.
This is from the OpenKeeper project, the Dungeon Keeper 2 remake. We were actually quite far in the development. But we started with kind of hacky & quirky design, basically just to see if 3D game development was possible. Although knowing from the day 1 that this design will never work as the game development progresses. But that didnât stop us from adding features and trying out stuff since it was ridiculously easy. I finally decided this canât continue a while back. Too late, I underestimated the time required for changing the designâŚ
Anyway that is what we have been doing, getting on par with the old feature list with our new design (ES and the sorts). But that also enables us to have cool things from the day 1. Like multiplayer. Largely thanks to @pspeed and his work (hell, we have code with his headers on top, so practically all this is his 
).
So here is a very early multiplayer, I just yesterday managed to switch back on the path finding and simple AI that doesnât find anything meaningful yet to do.

Hold on, hold on. Does this mean we can finally make some listboxes that look like theyâre actually scrolling and not just shifting the contents by one? Awesome work man

Unfortunately, no⌠well, I mean âyesâ⌠but only in the sense that you always could.
BitmapText has an issue where it will only clip the right side of contained text if you are using the clip mode for âwrappingâ. If you are using right justified text (or right to left text) then you are out of luck.
This is different than any sort of general screen space clipping that would be required to make lists boxes work like you describe. For one thing, lists have more than just text in them and for another the clipping Iâm talking about for the new text is in local text space.
Iâve looked at adding general screen space clipping into the scene graph a few times now⌠but there is always something pretty ugly that stops me from adding it.
In the mean time, the only way is with viewports.
Iâm not sure if I understand this right but isnât this a bit of an odd case? Generally everyone uses either left or central alignment unless theyâre using arabic which Iâd figure bitmaptext doesnât support anyway
Well sure but Iâm not entirely convinced this couldnât be done with some creative trickery. Wouldnât work for any custom cases like icons or special allignments but one could cut off button backgrounds by scaling them on the y axis and clipping the text with it.
Even if it wouldnât work for listboxes, it could be used by having a very long text label with a scrollbar - so we can finally fit everything into some predefined window without either cutting text manually or lemur crashing with negative values (
).
I.e. something like this but with row clipping and without any extra trimming work:
Also known as sideways parking a semi by watching from a helicoper and telling the driver what to do via a CB radio made in the 50s.

Itâs not as bad as that. ViewPorts are JMEâs âofficial answerâ to this problem every time I brought it up in the past.
One GUI element (the scroll panel, say) manages the ViewPort and just sticks its child in there. Most everything else âjust worksâ. Lemur will forward GUI events properly, etc. as long as the viewport has been registered with GuiGlobals as a picking root.
Itâs not so onerous. The only issue is if you want multiple windows overlapping with their own viewports⌠but screen space clipping will have that exact same issue.
Scaling wouldnât work because theyâd stretch funny. The backgrounds would have to have their texture coordinates clipped. Basically, everything youâd want to include in the list (background, icons, selector) would have to have some special case added to handle it.
ViewPorts seem more attractive over that, to be honest. I have on my to-do list to add a ScrollPanel to lemur-proto but I havenât had the time. This would fortunately insulate Lemur users from whatever the âbest wayâ is in the future.
What about a shader? Is there any drawback Iâm not aware of? Iâve used a simple shader to simulate scissoring on a geometry level. You can see it at the bottom of the color selector.
By the way, I made good progress integrating ImGui

Not âaâ shader. âEveryâ shader.
âeveryâ shader that you use in your GUI would need to support screenspace clipping⌠and it has all of the drawbacks of viewports or proper scenegraph based screen space clipping.
Very early WIP of morph animation in Monkanim.
Letâs say itâs my first visual result, but it still needs a lot of work.
- the basic gltf morph test model
- pure morph model

very nice.
So this is a feature I have been working on for awhile nowâŚ
Spoxel is all about the custom items and spells so itâs only fitting that you could truely make them custom.

@glh3586 That editor looks really cool, I really like the candle hat!
I started working on a small project I intend to turn into a short tutorial series, pure jme with no addons 
Iâm still working on the shepherd model (the blue rectangle), the target zone and some animations.
