Hi there, when I made my map I was using the old method of changing the UI using a text file, I see now you can use the editor to change it.
Should I delete my old text file and change it all inside the editor? Also I cannot work out how to change the UI in the editor, when I click on a portion of text to change it I can't edit it. Is this because im using a text file?
The UI editor presents you all the UI layouts in the game in one place, so you don't need to find & extract them in all the MPQ files. Also, it provides you with a tree where you can easily check which frames are contained in another.
The code you use is exactly the same as in the old method. So, the transition mainly consists out of copy + paste. It's just the place where your UI code is is much nicer.
Well, basically, there is no new method. It's the same thing, just in a better working environment.
