Hey GiL,
Is this new system they have coming for GUI's, gonna break the ORK API system for stuff? Have you been seeing the unity blog posts? See the link below... Looks great and more simple but looks like its a breaking type change.. I realize you cant think much about it till it materializes but just wondered about your initial impression.

    GiL has mentioned in the past that ORK will support the new GUI when 4.6 finally comes out; but it will likely take some time to do so.

    The new UI system will be a boon though; I'm sure it'll be infinitely easier to add features like animated cursors, animated 2D UI elements, etc.

    I doubt it'd break ORK right off the bat, as Unity will probably keep the legacy UI for a while.

  • Since the old UI system will still be there, it wont break ORK when it comes out.

    ORK Framework will definitely support the new GUI system, but since I haven't seen much on the scripting part for it, it's hard to tell how long that'll take.
    If it's anything near to NGUI in the scripting part, that will be a pain in the ass to do :D

    [removed] hahahaha nvm sorry for the post.. I don't think it had anything to do with the new GUI

    Really excited about it though, Hopefully it won't be as much of a pain as NGUI

    Is it possible as a Unity Store dev to snag the 4.6 Beta for yourself as to get a head-start, GiL?

    But yeah, since the NGUI dev was on the team for most of the development of it, the 4.6 GUI will be more or less an official unity version of NGUI, with a few differences. (Not that that's actually a bad thing :D)

    Or so I've heard from people testing the new system out on beta builds! Excited to get that functionality into ORK eventually. As much as NGUI can be a pain, the benefits are well worth it over the current unity GUI.

  • Yeah, it's possible to get a 4.6 beta, but as I last checked, it's still in alpha and no beta available yet :)
