I've been dreading creating the gui's for my mod because of what I need them to accomplish.
Window1:
  • used for creating/editing items
  • items consist of parts (edge, tip, grip, plate, etc)
  • there is no maximum number of parts(most items likely will fit inside a 16x16x16 cube though)
  • parts can be one of a small set of colors that they can be(around 10ish)
  • each part can be rotated to face one of the 6 cardinal direction
This seems like a complicated interface but people can also load in items from other games, so it's an interface that your really only use for setup, it's not something you will need to use often.

Window2:
  • used to select the item that you want to create
  • used to set items as favorites
  • used to select a set of items for creating at once
This interface will get used more often because it used for adding/removing items to your favorite set and for choosing which items will be in your Full Set.

Radial menu
  • shows all favorite items
  • used to select an item for creation

Items get created with mana by a hotkey, the Set works the same way but includes armor.


What do you guys think of having Window1 and 2 be an actual separate window.
