Serversided UI/GUI Theme

[Ben_Sherman]

Hi there,

I've got a very good question here that I've been googling for some time now. Is it possible and if so how would you go with doing your own custom UI / GUI theme server sides, meaning not installing one on your computer.

I know there is a resource called SDT_GUI by Skyline.(laserlaser), is there any other way to do it or am I just wrong?

The user interface will never be on server side. It's always made in the client side with the possibility of being edited by the server side. If you want a custom UI then you are looking for dxDraw based GUI's. These are the functions you will need to use for getting done a dxDraw basic based GUI.

DxDrawRectangle

DxDrawText

OnClientRender

OnClientCursorClick

OnClientCursorMove

Use CEF, much easier, faster and more possibilities. A tutorial can be found here.

Faster development, but performance sucks.

I wouldn't use CEF for everything, it's all right for panels like login/registration, rules / help window etc.. but not for something that would actually get updated in onClientRender like hud elements etc..

I have CEF stuff already, and just loading html files crashes 50% of the population on my server for some reason. Anyhow all of these are great recommendations, however, aren't really answering my question.

Like I've made so many custom UI's with woth dx and regular GUI, the problem is it's clunky and very annoying to do. I'm talking about actual UI themes. I was googling a bit last night and apparently owl gaming just released a patched the other day with custom UI framework.

I'm talking about custom GUIs like this

or this video first 10 seconds as an example

Now I'm not saying I wanna copy owl or anything like that, I mainly wanna know how so that I can make my own unique UI
