Description

This is a library that brings Dear ImGui to Vintage Story

Details

From Dear ImGui git repository:

Dear ImGui is designed to enable fast iterations and to empower programmers to create content creation tools and visualization / debug tools (as opposed to UI for the average end-user). It favors simplicity and productivity toward this goal and lacks certain features commonly found in more high-level libraries.

Wrapper for ImGui.NET which in it self is wrapper for Dear ImGui - graphical user interface library. In order to use this wrapper you just need to add reference on ImGui.NET (1.89.7.1) and the mod dll itself (like with other mods dependencies, both are in this mod's archive), and add your methods for constructing ImGui windows to VSImGuiModSystem.SetUpImGuiWindows event. Another example: github.com/maltiez2/vsmod_configlib/blob/master/configlib/src/GUI/ConfigWindow.cs

Supports also Not actually (working on it, it seems I need to follow this procedure, if somebody will provide this binaries I'll inculde them in mod):

This mod will allow you to make development tools like tfedit or simple throw away debug/visualisation tools for working on your mod. It would not require your mod to depend on this library if you need it only for debugging. Just wrapp all the code you dont want to ship in #if DEBUG #endif . Bulding such tools is as easy as adding logs.


Features

  • Quick and easy small debug tools - you can display and edit in real time any value in any part of your code no matter how deep it is with just a one line (static methods of DebugWindow class from VSImGui namespace)
  • No dependencies required for debug tools - just wrap all the ImGui and VSImGui methods calls you add in '#if DEBUG #endif'
  • Easy to build debug tools - add more sophisticated dev tools specific to your mod to speed up development and ease debugging (for example, Animation Manager library has in-game animation editor in its dev build)
  • Easy and quick to layout GUI with docking and a lot of built-in functionality like color pickers
  • Styles - you can change every color and size and even tile your window with a texture with a simple Style and WindowStyle classes, you can serialize style into json and load it from json

Other info

I also need some help with the development of this library (I will add any contributor to a list of authors, and mention in the description):

Mods that uses this library:


Examples and docs (outdated)

ImGui manual for C++, but .NET methods should have same names and similar arguments: https://pthom.github.io/imgui_manual_online/manual/imgui_manual.html

ImGui wiki: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki

Example of showing demo window: api.ModLoader.GetModSystem<VSImGuiModSystem>().SetUpImGuiWindows += ImGuiNET.ImGui.ShowDemoWindow;

Example of adding debug widget

If you have some field or property in your class (or just some reference type value) you want to display or edit via GUI, you can call a static mehod of a DebugWindow class that will display a widget in a debug window with specified domain as name inside a tab with specified category. Given title serves as this widget id, and calling DebugWindow methods for same domain and title will replace existing widget instead of adding a new one. Some mehod require also an int id, it server same perpouse as title. You can call DebugWindow method in any place of code, any amount of time, but setter and getter delegates will be called once per frame.

private float someValue;
private void SomeMethod()
{
    DebugWindow.FloatSlider("My debug window title", "Some sliders", "a slider", min: 0, max: 1.0f, getter: () => someValue, setter: value => someValue = value);
}

If you want to not add ImGui as dependency you can wrap its mehods with #if DEBUG #endif and leave them only in debug build

private float someValue;
private void SomeMethod()
{
#if DEBUG
    DebugWindow.FloatSlider("My debug window title", "Some sliders", "a slider", min: 0, max: 1.0f, getter: () => someValue, setter: value => someValue = value);
#endif
}
Simple example of a full mod that uses ImGui

To add your own ImGui windows you can add your drawing method to SetUpImGuiWindows event of VSImGuiModSystem. This method will be called once per frame. This method should contain all ImGui methods for drawing windows and widgets. Each frame gui is fully redrawn, so this method servers as layout composer and interface logic at the same time (this is a feature of all immediate mode GUIs).

using ImGuiNET;
using Vintagestory.API.Client;
using Vintagestory.API.Common;
using Vintagestory.API.MathTools;
using VSImGui;

namespace ImGuiExample;
public class ImGuiExampleModSystem : ModSystem
{
    private ICoreClientAPI mApi;

    public override void StartClientSide(ICoreClientAPI api)
    {
        mApi = api;
        api.ModLoader.GetModSystem<VSImGuiModSystem>().SetUpImGuiWindows += Draw;
    }

    private void Draw()
    {
        ImGui.Begin("ImGui example");

        float roll = mApi.World.Player.CameraRoll * GameMath.RAD2DEG;
        ImGui.SliderFloat("Roll", ref roll, -90, 90);
        mApi.World.Player.CameraRoll = roll * GameMath.DEG2RAD;

        ImGui.End();
    }
}

Maltiez thanks

💬 MaltiezAuthor, Mar 2nd at 7:17 PM

Just tested latest version on Ubuntu 20: works fine

💬 MaltiezAuthor, Mar 2nd at 6:36 PM

adres4t

Should work on linux, need more info, logs and such, better in VS discord.

💬 adres4t, Mar 2nd at 6:25 PM

what about linux compatibility? can't join any server with this library on.

 

💬 TerraWarlock, Feb 27th at 4:43 AM

Maltiez

yep you are right i finally fixed it and it works, Thanks.

💬 MaltiezAuthor, Feb 26th at 5:01 AM

Yes. Considering you asked this question, it probably does. You have 0.3.5 version for 1.19.4-rc.1 version of the game, but your game version is probably 1.19.3.

💬 TerraWarlock, Feb 26th at 4:41 AM

says that unable to resolve some mod dependencies???

💬 Dmitryz, Feb 14th at 7:54 AM

Maltiez

I just checked on 19.1.4-rc and with v0.3.5 and the game loads normally! You are the best for resolving this so fast, really appreciate it!

 

💬 MaltiezAuthor, Feb 13th at 10:02 PM

Dmitryz

0.3.5 will hopefully fix mac support

💬 MaltiezAuthor, Feb 13th at 9:12 PM

Dmitryz

Mac... It is kinda not supported, or rather I cant test it on mac and debug cause I dont have mac, and library needs a binary for it. I will try to solve Mac support in a couple of days.

Upd. Ok, found an image of mac for vmware

💬 Dmitryz, Feb 13th at 9:03 PM

I am on a Mac (v19.1.3) and I believe I am facing the 

  • On linux library extracts embedded native cimgui library into /tmp folder, if this folder on your system is marked as "noexec" game will fail to load it and crash

problem.

Is anyone aware of any workarounds? Tried googling how to change the noexec status, but the suggested solutions didn't seem to work, game crashes on startup if I have this mod enabled

💬 MaltiezAuthor, Jan 13th at 12:45 PM

rayray

Make sure that you have the latest versions of both ImGui and Config lib mods, mod manager warning does not matter in this case

💬 rayray, Jan 13th at 11:09 AM

say it needs error say it needs 1.18.8 even though you said for 1.19 and crashes when i press p to change elements on hud for mod
