JSON-UI General

[restive crag]

Hm is

"ignored": "#ignor",
"bindings": [{
.....stuff "target_property_name": "#ignor"
}]

gonna make a difference?

[hexed briar]

Ignored property ≠ Ignored binding.

They both work differently.

[restive crag]

Oh well, thanks. I was just about to test it

[hexed briar]

it may be good for optimizing bindings related but it's effectively useless in most part

you can't kill the element with it.

[restive crag]

#1218739439417819156 message

[hexed briar]

Also forgot to mention that one are definitely deprecated as mojang doesn't use them anymore so

it may not work.

[restive crag]

huh?

Hm all useful things are deprecated

[hexed briar]

they don't use #ignored anymore.

so there's no tail of how it works or what it does until someone test it out

so it might probably doesn't work or maybe it does, who knows

[tacit verge]

Their is no animations on that

That’s what im doing pretty much already

[restive crag]

Like you want like a trail?

[tacit verge]

Well, kind of like when a entity gets hurt, it will animate from its old health to its new health. Showing a animation of it falling

[restive crag]

Hmm which data passer do you use? Actionbar or Titles?

[tacit verge]

Button text

[restive crag]

So bindings right? It's quite complicated with bindings(it requires alot of visibility binding).

[hexed briar]

Hmm, i think i kinda done that before

although i kinda can't share because. well, nda

kinda hard to implement too since you'll need a scoreboard or maybe a database to remember your past or old health

then use anims property to do decrease animation thing.

[restive crag]

Lemme guess, from kaioga right?

[hexed briar]

maybe

maybe other studios too

i might probably make another one but this time its public so people can tweak around and alot more optimized

but idk when so,

[restive crag]

please do so 😁

[hexed briar]

probably when i get back to addon.

[restive crag]

Does anyone have hive pack? Please send(asking for a friend)

[hexed briar]

No.

[still sundial]

Can i have some preserved text on actionbar but save the other text?
Like if its "hello mana" it will show only "hello"

I need in my addon subtitle, title and actionbar

All of them

well apparently you still have long_form_dynamic_buttons_panel.

which, is also the source of buttons.

having both collection index buttons and the default buttons, well. that happens.

well if you remove that element then that duplicated buttons should be gone

                }
            }
        ] 
    },

Hey, i'm trying to modify the first into the second - any idea how i'd achieve that? I'd just like to ignore the structure_3d_export_mode option :)

[mental crystal]

Hello everyone, how do I make that the custom image element on my hud_screen.json takes up the whole screen no matter what's the size of your device. I can't do "size": [ "100%", "100%" ] because it based on the size of the images texture because in my phone it took the whole screen but on my desktop it didn't reach the tob of my screen.

[sweet mantle]

Okay, so I asked a question last night, to which I never got a single response. Might as well ask again. I think this is a better time to ask since more people are active at this time.

What does the "factory" property do?

This is my first time learning JSON UI and actually starting to finally understand it. It's not too bad after all.

However, upon trying to learn from other addons, I noticed that some elements containted a "factory" property.

Not type, but property.

What does this do?

[west dawn]

It just generates elements based on some provided infos

so you don't have to reference every item by hand

and can just, well, generate them

[sweet mantle]

Looked at the "Adding HUD Elements" page in the wiki and saw this:

There are plenty of times you'll want to add elements onto this screen, such as pop-up text after completing certain events, a stamina bar showing how much energy the player has, a speedometer showing the player's speed, and much more!

Yeah, but... How?

Pop-up text after a certain event?

But that wouldn't work, would it?

Stamina bar, that may potentially work if you have the proper knowledge.

Speedometer, okay. Now they're just inspiring the impossible to players.

Because there's no way you can "add" a speedometer to the hud.

You would need some kind of new variable which is modified from the player's speed, which in case it's not obvious, there's no binding for that.

Sure, you can "add" hud elements, but they're gonna be almost non-functional. You'll have to modify already-existing UI to get your stuff to work.

[restive crag]

Actually, it's more like POV, like what most players want to add. All you said is possible, and yes I tried them. However we can't just make a section just for players that want to add something specific to HUD Screen.

[sweet mantle]

I mean, yeah. Nothing specific. I'm just saying that JSON UI's functionality is very limited. It's not really possible to "add" a speedometer to the hud. You have to modify other HUD elements to get it to work.

[restive crag]

We and I am aware it's very limited, like speedometer you're talking about it requires modifying entity/render_controller. But it's possible, it's just outside of UI field.

[sweet mantle]

Wait, modifying the render controller?

If you're saying it's outside of the UI field, do you mean that you can't link that stuff together?

[restive crag]

You can link them but it's complicated because it requires additional steps.

But yeah some things is just unlinkable

[sweet mantle]

Alright. How would someone be able to link the render controllers and the UI together?

[restive crag]

You would need to use paperdolls then put a geometry to paper dolls and use render controller to that geometry. That's all I could say, I suggest you learn how both that works.

[sweet mantle]

Uh--

Yeah, this is honestly my first time understanding JSON UI. So far, I know some basics. However, I'm not an absolute master, so I wouldn't know this stuff.

[mental crystal]

Oh I get what you meant. Add a paper doll but make it not affected of toggle hide paper doll, then you make geometry, render controller and animation on resource pack the steps is a bit complicated

The complicated thing for me is the animation. I can't find the exact position of the screen 😦

[restive crag]

That is literally what I am saying, learn how to be master to it first. Like attempt to make simple things first.

[sweet mantle]

I understand. I was just curious.

[restive crag]

?

[mental crystal]

Hello everyone, how do I make that the custom image element on my hud_screen.json takes up the whole screen no matter what's the size of your device. I can't do "size": [ "100%", "100%" ] because it based on the size of the images texture because in my phone it took the whole screen but on my desktop it didn't reach the tob of my screen.

[vital edge]

set it on the bg panel of the screen instead:

  "[email protected]_screen": {
    "$screen_bg_content": "<your stuff>"
  }

example usage:

{
  "namespace": "hud",

  "white_image": {
    "type": "image",
    "texture": "textures/ui/White",
    "size": [ "100%", "100%" ],
    "layer": 100
  },

  "[email protected]_screen": {
    "$screen_bg_content": "hud.white_image"
  }

}

[whole jasper]

If you want the elements to disappear completely, use a factory
Control the #collection_length

[restive crag]

How do I subtract it?

[whole jasper]

"factory": {"control_name": "namespace.your_element"}

"collection_name": "custom_collection_name"

"property_bag": {"#your_binding_name": 0}

"source_property_name": "(#your_binding_name)",
"target_property_name": "#collection_length"

[restive crag]

ik but it's a boolean

[mental crystal]

What if I put bindings on the white_image can I control it that's it visible when there's a string on my hud_title_text_string

[vital edge]

yeah

[mental crystal]

Also if I do have multiple image element, all I need is add a panel then put it inside of controls? It's valid? If yes thanks

[vital edge]

yes

[oblique gust]

Are you able to animate the color of the text?

[hexed briar]

Yes.

[oblique gust]

Why it didn't work on my Play text

[hexed briar]

don't know?

pretty sure the color can be animated since I've done that several times with labels and textures.

well if the text isn't changing then it's likely that your button mostly has too many hardcoded variables.

by hardcoded variables, its either using different color variable strings so, maybe check that out first.

[undone marsh]

Put this in your text element

"anims":["rgb@rgb_anim_first"],

Here is a RGB template

    "rgb_anim_first": {
        "anim_type": "color",
        "duration": 2,
        "next": "rgb@rgb_anim_second",
        "from": [
            1,
            0,
            0,
            1
        ],
        "to": [
            0,
            1,
            0,
            1
        ]
    },
    "rgb_anim_second": {
        "anim_type": "color",
        "duration": 2,
        "next": "rgb@rgb_anim_third",
        "from": [
            0,
            1,
            0,
            1
        ],
        "to": [
            0,
            0,
            1,
            1
        ]
    },
    "rgb_anim_third": {
        "anim_type": "color",
        "duration": 2,
        "next": "rgb@rgb_anim_first",
        "from": [
            0,
            0,
            1,
            1
        ],
        "to": [
            1,
            0,
            0,
            1
        ]
    }

[restive crag]

Can alpha be optional?

[hexed briar]

It's pretty much a common color string.

you can go with only color or not if you want to

[oblique gust]

Ahhh i think the problem is i used rgb

Like [0,1,0]

Thanks so much

[undone marsh]

No Problem

how to move the close button ?

[unique swan]

"offset":" [ 0, 0 ] "```

[violet light]

Yes I know it's offset but what category should I put it in?

[unique swan]

Close button panel

[chilly yacht]

wherever you called the close button

[violet light]

Okay and for the scroll bar I also put an "offset"?

[unique swan]

Put it where the close button is in your file

[violet light]

Do you have an example of a close button?

[chilly yacht]

its literally in ur form

[violet light]

I have to do it thanks to her?

[mental crystal]

That's just a mapping checking if you click back, esc etc. button

[mental crystal]

"npc_screen_close@npc_interact.close_text": {
          "anchor_to": "bottom_left",
          "anchor_from": "bottom_left",
          "offset": [
            20,
            0
          ]
        }```

It looks like this. I just don't know how to do that's in server form

guys I created a page on wiki if anyone's wondering how custom buttons are made:
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/json-ui/custom-buttons.html

[tropic badger]

[oblique gust]

I copied your layout @hexed briar

[tropic badger]

you're done bro

Actually it's half life 2 layout

[hexed briar]

now give me yours

[whole jasper]

Does it use the same mechanism?,
the animation only runs once, and will restart in that state

  "anim_highlight_icon": {
    "anim_type": "flip_book",
    "initial_uv": [ 0, 0 ],
    "frame_count": 9,
    "fps": 12,
    "looping": false,
    "easing": "linear"
  },

[whole jasper]

The explanation of $toggle_view_binding_name here is not quite right, it should give the basis do not rely on templates
$toggle_view_binding_name should be the name of the toggle type element, and at the same time describe the mechanism of source_control_name

[tropic badger]

You can edit on the GitHub if you want, i apologize if I made a mistake

[still sundial]

In jsonUi if i do e.g. 'abacaba' - 'aba' will it turn to 'ac' or 'caba' or what?

like what is the result of string subtraction? I need to display a server form with paper doll but idk how to bind it if i use the body text for other thing

[still sundial]

Got it

but now it says source_control_name is wrong property

I created a background for the title, but when an interface doesn't have a title, the background still appears, but it's buggy.

Is there a way to make it disappear when it doesn't have a title?

The code:

    "header_title": {
        "type": "image",
        "offset": [0, -5],
        "anchor_from": "top_middle",
        "texture": "textures/ui/rounded_textbox",
        "size": ["100%c + 6px", "100%c + 6px"],
        "controls": [{
            "text": {
                "type": "label",
                "text": "#title_text",
                "$title_size": 1.1,
                "anchor_from": "center",
                "offset": [0, -1],
                "font_scale_factor": "$title_size",
                "font_type": "MinecraftTen"
            }
        }]
    },

[whole jasper]

you have to bind it, #visible if length #title_text > 0

[tropic badger]

Hm < and > operator works on strings??

[whole jasper]

I don't know if it works in the binding

[tropic badger]

It's returns string btw if you're confused

[whole jasper]

I don't know, but the way I check whether the string length > 0 is like this,
not ('%.1s' * #title_text = 0)

if empty it is equal to 0

[hexed briar]

well it probably should be, since it's an operator string.

if + or - works, so do those.

it's just how you use it.

[chilly yacht]

anyone know if there is a file location for the "Sale" banner?

im curious if they use nineslicing for it or not

[hexed briar]

Well yesn't.

That is treatment pack, aka a pack that will download automatically once you launch the game or seeing "Loading resource packs" out of nowhere.

It's unfortunately inaccessible without dumping the game's cache folder itself

Also the "sale" thing are kinda separate element iirc.

[chilly yacht]

so im better off nineslicing the box with sale and have the little ribbon as a non ninesliced image

[unique swan]

I've done this before

[hexed briar]

hmm

[unique swan]

I remember there was no sale_banner size, it was just made with nineslice

[chilly yacht]

?

[hexed briar]

reading vanilla codes gave me brainrots

[chilly yacht]

oh LOL just realized that

[unique swan]

  "nineslice_size": [ 16, 8, 14, 5 ],
  "base_size": [ 32, 14 ]
}```

[hexed briar]

there's too many "<numbers>px" on regular size string that doesn't have percentage for some reason

and now idk why is this a thing

why 16px + 2px and not 18px is such a bruh moment.

[undone marsh]

Mojang can't do sh!t 🔥

[hexed briar]

why numbers with px without percentage when you can literally put numbers (without px) and it'll works like the same

I don't even know anymore.

[chilly yacht]

thats the 32x14 image

for banner

[hexed briar]

another one ffs

[chilly yacht]

why not just ["100%", 16]??

[hexed briar]

we don't know

it's vanilla code.

[unique swan]

could you?

[chilly yacht]

i can try

[unique swan]

I tried the old sale_banner and it worked

[chilly yacht]

what was the panel size

oh yeah it does work

OreUI isn’t out yet?

[hexed yacht]

It is... you can modify it with editing mc files

(Not in addons ofc)

[past stirrup]

That doesn’t mean it’s out. Also I don’t recommend changing the game files as they get changed with each release

[hexed yacht]

I don't intend to change the games files, I am rather interested in ore ui cuz of modding purposes

[sudden yoke]

Please please someone help me

[hexed yacht]

Thx! Really useful

[hexed yacht]

One smool question... are json ui vars like #my_text or $my_var accessible across screens?

[hexed briar]

No.

[hexed yacht]

Really?

Ahh shit...

[hexed briar]

well expected i guess

although you can still use referencer with variables from different UI files

with some con - you can't update the same variables across the screens.

How do I make a custom ui file with nothing in it like make pause screen and make it from scratch direct it to go into that ui file instead of pause_screen.json do I have to use ui_common.json to accomplish that

I have searched the wiki put I dont find anything that I coulld put into pause_screen.json to make it run from a different file

sorry im stupid

lol

is this it

[oblique gust]

You cant change the pause screen to another file,but you can add a panel on that pause screen file where the code is on another namespace on another file. You only have to add it on _ui_defs.json to able to find that namespace

//ui/_ui_defs.json
{
  "ui_defs": [
    "path/to/file.json"
  ]
}

[wild mason]

is there a specific documentation for texture_file_system and what each option does and in which situations you use them?

[sudden yoke]

Please help

[last pollen]

so if i have custom file with namespace pause like in pause_screen.json will it use that instead

[oblique gust]

i didn't even mean it like that,but even if you used the same namespace,its just like you're overwriting the original file

[last pollen]

i dont get that to work

[last pollen]

nothing WORKKKS

[fathom bluff]

it will create conflict with the original pause screen and no, doing this will not overwrite the original file

better list your custom ui file in ui_def then put some properties in the original file so that it uses the elements inside your custom pause screen file instead of the build-in element

[cunning bridge]

Hello, how to make an image ignore the safe zone area and fill up the entire screen?

[oblique gust]

Increase the size more than 100%

[mental crystal]

It uses the image size like if the image size is 16x16 the size will be 16x16 in game too, it doesn't fill up the whole screen.

[cunning bridge]

i have size set to 100%

[mental crystal]

I'm lazy to explain just discover it by yourself

[tropic badger]

lmao

[oblique gust]

Lol

If its not ninesliced,then it will just get bigger with its original shape,but if its ninesliced,it will stretch the image to the size of the screen filling it whole

[mental crystal]

Nice someone explained it hahahaha

That's the issue I had before not knowing I really need to use ninesliced on that bad boy

[oblique gust]

Same lol

when i tried to copy hud tip text background

[mental crystal]

But still I'm stupid to use ninesliced

[oblique gust]

Parehas na parehas tayo ah

Hahahahah

[cunning bridge]

@mental crystal @oblique gust what are you talking about? this has nothing to do with my question. The image already fills up the entire screen in pc, but on mobile where i have my safe area changed, it doesn't reach the edges.

[hard patrol]

Hello! What can I use to apply an "overlay texture" to the hunger bar in hud_screen.json? I already use title and actionbar for other UI stuff. Would reading scoreboard texts be an option, even if the scoreboard is hidde, or is there no other way besdies actionbar and title? (Ping when you reply)

[chilly yacht]

well

scoreboards are an option BUT without it being a server you wouldnt be able to have different scoreboards on each players screen

so client sided scoreboards are only possible with servers

so if its a realm or just a world youd have to use preserved text

[hard patrol]

You can add fake players to a scoreboard no?

[hard patrol]

What is this?

[chilly yacht]

yeah

[chilly yacht]

you save the text

you save the text and it only updates when its flagged

[hard patrol]

how?

I was wanting something more like reading scoreboard values to change texture and stuff.

[chilly yacht]

it would have to be the same for everyone

[hexed yacht]

I think there even was a wiki tutorial....
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/json-ui/preserve-title-texts

[sweet mantle]

Lemme tell ya, JSON UI is a lot harder than I thought. Sure, I understand it now, but still, the limitations it has is like trying to make addons back in the early days of Bedrock Edition.

[vital edge]

Scoreboard is possible, but you'd have to display it on the sidebar always. This means you wont be able to use it for other things (unless of course you tinker with it and utilize all available data entryways, you could technically just need to fetch the player name and its value then do conditional rendering, and then hide that particular player only, allowing you to still show the rest of the scoreboard).

But generally speaking, while many things are possible, it's also good to start simple: as such I'd do either title, subtitle or actionbar. Title does not hinder with basic gameplay texts/hints (like when riding a Minecart, or the Jukebox playing music text) and is a good use. As long as your thing doesnt have to continuously send the data just to make one thing visible.

[mental crystal]

Never seen you type this long r4isen

[tropic badger]

Wait ain't descending scoreboard doesn't do sorting meaning you can just get the score of first index? Am I wrong?

[hexed yacht]

Nah

But I think we need a media player element

[hexed briar]

No.

can't expect more of something that is already unsupported.

[hexed yacht]

What do you mean?

[hexed briar]

JSON-UI are more of not officially supported by mojang so

and it's state are pretty much deprecated.

basically, they're not doing or adding anything to json-ui.

if they gonna add another whole new screen, they'll definitely go for ore-ui. which, that's 0% chance of them adding new stuff to json-ui

[mental crystal]

How to make the server form UI not affected by GUI scale?

The scale and offset remains the same no matter what.

[tropic badger]

Make a fixed size?

[mental crystal]

Yes², fixed size and offset

[mental crystal]

Cause I scaled and positioned the button already but after changing the GUI scale the button shrinks down and the offset changes, that's what I'm asking if there's a way to avoid that.

[tropic badger]

The button relies on its parent size maybe try giving it an fixed size

[mental crystal]

Imma send you the UI later, I'm just gonna open my computer

[hexed yacht]

Tbh I don't really have smth against json ui... there isn't really a need to replace it with ore ui in my opinion

I think it might just be better to improve json ui than put all that time into some "new better alternative"

[tropic badger]

Yeah fr turning it into web based sucks. JSON-UI is laggy and all that stuff but replacing it with Web Based is 10x more laggier.

Smh, Mojang only added stuff on JSON-UI for his beloved marketplace..

how to detect if player is looking at a block

[undone marsh]

Can't do it with Json UI

[last pollen]

any commads for it?

[undone marsh]

Either Molang or Scripting

[undone marsh]

Idk I don't know about commands as you can see by my badge

[hexed yacht]

Json ui is public and usable in addons as well. Also having a mix of 2 ui systems is just fucked up...
Another thing is that writing a json ui compiler is sooo simple, we already have one in php and I think the community would have made more

Haven't looked into ore ui that much... does it use js as well?

[tropic badger]

Someone actually made one but stopped since he saw it's getting replaced by Ore-UI, I think his name is Kalmemarq.

Also I think ORE-UI isn't planned to be data-driven, it's messy and don't know where the hell it's going into.

[hexed yacht]

I hope it doesn't use js.. I am absolutly no fan of js scripting

Writing addons in different langs is sooo important, bcz ppl want to feel comfy (js is also just hell).. having for example a wasm based system or an option to use different langs would be really nice

Also just for compiling addons into the needed format from other langs would be so cool

[sudden yoke]

please please help me

[hexed yacht]

Just saying "it doesn't worky.. why not worky?" doesn't help
Explain your problem, show us what you expect and tell us what happens instead.

[hexed yacht]

Weren't there some ore ui files already present in the game files?

[tropic badger]

Bad news it's made with React which is like JS

[hexed yacht]

Ewwww 😵‍💫

[sudden yoke]

i provided my code in which i register my custom gui with visiblity condition but in game after making the inventory code according to condition it is not rendering

[tropic badger]

Yes but similar to shaders it already has files but never been data-driven.

And I don't think they plan to because most servers and marketplace contents(Mojang beloved) is using JSON-UI, they can't just migrate immediately.

[hexed yacht]

Well you chest menu must have this in it ब'

[hexed yacht]

Ye thats what I think as well..
Another thing I love about json ui is that it works so amazing with C++ game modding

[sudden yoke]

yes it have

[tropic badger]

Why modding?

[hexed yacht]

Maybe instead of these complex chars try using a normal string like: hello

[tropic badger]

ye weird symbols confuses the visibility

[hexed yacht]

We made a showcase recently: https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1224113723556237342
This was really easy... json ui works great with C++
I don't think this was possible before?

[sudden yoke]

i tried that also but still not work i use test string

[tropic badger]

It's possible but only fewer people really tried. I saw someone made a JSON-UI java UI mod that works on all bedrock versions.

[tropic badger]

Also please enlighten thy on how you connected them

[oblique gust]

Ang ineettt

[hexed yacht]

Connected what?

[tropic badger]

The C++ thing to toggles

Ehh I'll tell you in dms.. this is smth that isn't liked here

[tropic badger]

Ohh

[oblique gust]

i wanna learn how to make the hud show in condition using molangs,i mean if i will use render controller for it so it works everywhere

[tropic badger]

U use player dolls

[oblique gust]

Is that a question

[tropic badger]

Yes

[oblique gust]

No,i wanna show the hud if the health drops to specific number

Or in actions (anim control)

[tropic badger]

It isn't possible

[oblique gust]

what's the only possible

[tropic badger]

Nothing if you want it to work to all screens

[oblique gust]

what if ill just get the item to show like compass,clock,map

[tropic badger]

Use aux ids

[final grove]

does anybody know any devs that can make json ui

willing to pay

[tropic badger]

Me

[final grove]

how good are you

send me some if you’re work that you’ve done

[tropic badger]

Let's go dm

[hexed briar]

It might be, but remember. Ore-UI are in development for 5 years.

also this

[hexed yacht]

lmao

we don't officially support it.. but addons support it

XD

[hexed briar]

well it does make sense since json-ui was never updated for years now. which, definitely something being deprecated.

json-ui also was supposed to be documented although ore-ui is already in active dev so, not happening.

i assume that this is after "addons" being announced.

[hexed yacht]

I get it that ore ui has some advantages... but I don't quite think that a js/react + web based system is that better

[hexed briar]

well this is modern day for you i guess

most apps nowadays just go with js/react or web based system

even here (discord) uses that.

or windows 11 just go full html on their first startup.

it's everywhere now so, yeah.

[hexed yacht]

ik.. it just eliminates the best feature of json ui..
it being a buildable by other langs.. like this php json ui builder

[hexed briar]

I probably dislike ore-ui either but looking at what mojang direction is, it's pretty safe to say that it's not gonna be good.

[hexed yacht]

why do you think so?

[hexed briar]

we don't even know if ore-ui gonna be "data-driven" or allowing people to modify html to begin with.

shaders also was replaced by render dragon and took nearly 2+ years for deferred to come out.

[hexed yacht]

jup.. I prefer json ui as well cuz it works great with c++

[hexed briar]

there's also a lot of critical bugs that crashes people's games and they mark it as "won't fix"

so idk what else.

[hexed yacht]

lmao, mojang be like

[hexed briar]

even i can't play the game with fancy graphic on due to memory leak since 1.20.10 and they still refuses to fix it.

no wonder why there's alot of 1 star rating.

[hexed yacht]

ehh.. mojang sometimes seems like the most incompetent team of devs possible

there are a shit ton of ppl who develop amazing software and could be really helpful for mojang

[hexed briar]

well mojang uses most open-source stuff afterall.

you can see their github.

[hexed briar]

this is typically more of microsoft studio moments

[hexed yacht]

well true

but mcbe looks like a sinking ship everyday

it just gets worse and worse

[hexed briar]

yeah

although strangely enough, the Ore-UI's death screen uses Json-UI variables and it's texture if you apply texture pack to it.

[hexed yacht]

wtf

this is the worst tech crossover I have ever heard of

[tropic badger]

Mojang fixing a marketplace map in a millisecond they saw a bug but don't fix gameplay issues wow

[hexed yacht]

thats called business

[oblique gust]

Actually, they've been working a hundreds of fixing bugs,even the tiny bit of bug,every detail. Yknow you can just fix all bugs in one version than keep bringing major updates

So it would take long

a never ending work to solve the problems just to give the players a great game experience

why tf am i defending

[oblique gust]

Can u teach me how

[last pollen]

Where is the common_buttons in the minecraft resource pack

[oblique gust]

ui_template_buttons

[last pollen]

Ty!

[mental crystal]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/json-ui/json-ui-documentation.html#item-id-aux-item-id-aux

Maybe you need this.

[mental crystal]

If you use aux id of a compass it acts like a normal item, it faces what's your spawn point, clock, and other things.

[cyan venture]

Hi guys, sorry if I’m interrupting any of you

May I ask how to prevent the player from exiting the server from ui only if he pressed a button?

[mental crystal]

Not possible cause buttons are hardcoded

[cyan venture]

No forget buttons

I meant the player can exit the ui using the back button on his device

[mental crystal]

Wait

[cyan venture]

Yes?

[mental crystal]

"[email protected]_screen": {
    "$screen_content": "server_form.main_screen_content",
    "button_mappings": [
      {
        "from_button_id": "button.menu_exit",
        "to_button_id": "button.menu_exit",
        "mapping_type": "global"
      }
    ]
  }```

[cyan venture]

So what’s that?

[mental crystal]

This will disable closing it when pressing there exit button

Only way now is clicking the x button in the form

[cyan venture]

Oh great

Thank you so much

[mental crystal]

Did it work?

[cyan venture]

Yes it did 😁
Thank you so much Man!!!

I am making this btw

[mental crystal]

I knew that you're making the fnaf

Hahahahahaha

[cyan venture]

How???

[mental crystal]

You could remove the flickering if you want

[cyan venture]

Wait really??

That would be really cool

[mental crystal]

Cause I did that on my old FNAF recreation

[cyan venture]

Oh noice

[mental crystal]

Just add
$screen_animations": []

But remember it affects all server form u made

[cyan venture]

Hey but….

I have already did that

[mental crystal]

Not good?

I know other way but I don't think this is reliable hahahaha

[cyan venture]

I take risks 😈

[mental crystal]

You said, you tried this already, is it not good?

[cyan venture]

Well, If I can achieve a better result I will switch from it

[mental crystal]

Well I use a hud_screen displaying the UI of the camera, and making the server_form render the game behind like removing the grayish overlay when you open UI, also I still have all texture files for UI, the usage, time, hour, death screen, end night etc. I just completely scrap it cause I'm lazy as f*ck

[cyan venture]

Wait

But isn’t the hud screen gets hidden when you open a server form

[mental crystal]

That's what I'm saying I remove that

[cyan venture]

How did you remove it????

[mental crystal]

I just add this here @cyan venture

    "is_showing_menu": true,
    "absorbs_input": true,
    "force_render_below": true,```

[cyan venture]

Damn

That’s impressive tbh

That was my main idea but a friend told me that it’s impossible

[mental crystal]

It's possible you just need to be creative, pushing it to it's limits

[cyan venture]

Well done Man 👏🏼👏🏼

[mental crystal]

Did you try this on PC? Cause I feel like it doesn't scale based on the device size

[cyan venture]

Wait but can you use the gui(hotbar)?

[mental crystal]

No of course hahahaha

[cyan venture]

Yes infact it doesn’t
I’m trying to figure that out

[mental crystal]

Yeah that's the reason I used hud_screen Making the image scale based on the device size.

[cyan venture]

And what did you do with the buttons?

[mental crystal]

I just made the server form bg to blank and buttons to blank, so when I click an button it sets the image to a button animations same as the origin game

Yeah I'm lazy to explain cause I'm tired as f*ck

I did more than that just lazy to explain

I also scrap it cause I'm procrastinating

I can recreate the whole FNAF 1 game in MCBE but I chose not to cause I'm lazy

[cyan venture]

Wait so the button textures is on the hud_screen and the actual pressed buttons on the server form and they somehow magically go well together?

[mental crystal]

Obviously I used a script where if I clicked that button it runs a command changing the image texture in hud screen

[cyan venture]

Oh did you manage to match the buttons with their texture??

Man you are blowing my mind 🤯🤯

[mental crystal]

I did a lot just yeah it's easy to do, hard to explain ( cause I'm bad at explaining )

[cyan venture]

Do you happen to have the actual thing?
I really want to explore the code

[mental crystal]

I don't think I have it anymore cause I scrap it and forgot where I placed that file hahahaha

But I could send you the texture files if you want tho

[cyan venture]

Damn….
Pls if you find it someday just tell me

[cyan venture]

No Thx, I have the textures

[mental crystal]

Btw how did you match up the static thingy on the form, like it was in the original game?

Wait I think I found it but I don't this is the VERY latest version I scrap but it's god I guess....

[cyan venture]

Oh it’s simple
I took it from the game unless
It wasn’t transparent I made it so using a website
Then I made an animation(uv) for it
And here it is

[cyan venture]

I am fine with that
Send it pls

[mental crystal]

Oh okay, I did that too just lazy to experiment

[mental crystal]

Wait file is pretty big it has sound files, fyi it's organized

[cyan venture]

Noice
I am fine with the size

[mental crystal]

Sorry I can only find the RP file

Imma dm you

We stop talking here mods will be angry with us

[cyan venture]

Yeah my bad

[hexed briar]

technically they kinda didn't.

while yes they do fix "hundreds of bugs" although, there's another new hundreds more of bugs in one single update for some reason

[oblique gust]

Can you teach me how to use it,i only added custom panel and inventory item renderer

[last pollen]

Bruh my custom button not working

If I put @common_buttons.light_text_button it says the $pressed button name is not found in ancestor tree

Nevermind it needed $button_text

[oblique gust]

But it doesn't require button text at all

We can leave it empty

[last pollen]

It didnt work without

[hexed briar]

make sure that there's no syntax errors.

iirc button do show up without those variables.

[last pollen]

Oh I suppose there was something else then lol

doesn't in fact require it

[hexed briar]

it should probably be set to default values aka "".

since most of button elements has their own default variables.

if there's no expected variables on your own elements, chances are. it's probably set to default. (if there's no default variables, it should throw content log error)

[last pollen]

How do I add a gap

[hexed briar]

Add a padding.

aka adding another panel element except only property is size.

"example": {
  "type": "panel",
  "size": [ <x>, <y> ]
}```

Padding works best if you have stack panel.

if you don't have a stack panel and using regular panel, offset property is there.

[last pollen]

I have a panel that is the white border thing then controls has a element buttons which is stack panel

[hexed briar]

then it probably should work inside the buttons element

as long you don't set the size with percentage then yeah.

[last pollen]

is it possible to make a change of button to make different sounds

[hexed briar]

Interesting, custom factory element doesn't play nicely with toggleable properties.

No matter what i do with my custom factory, the toggle visibility just does not work or break entirely.

the only thing that doesn't break is to manually using collection index which, well. sadge.

[cyan venture]

Hey guys

You know that the hud scales with the device’s resolution while the server forms doesn’t
So if you make button textures but it’s just activated through title command and the actual buttons(invisible) are on the server form how can you match the buttons with their textures?

[tropic badger]

what are you trying to do??

[tropic badger]

Um where is the main question here???

[cyan venture]

How can you match the buttons(server form) with their textures(title hud)?

[tropic badger]

You mean make the buttons textures base on title?

[cyan venture]

No look

Th server from doesn't scale with the resolution right?

It appears small in some and some not

How can I make it appear the same for every device?

[tropic badger]

#1212105007474679899 message

Use percentaged

[cyan venture]

So I just have to remove the "size": [0, 0] in the main_screen_content and apply 100% in my form.

[hexed briar]

Optimizing some world search system i have.

[tropic badger]

What's the connection between the factories?

[tropic badger]

Exactly

[hexed briar]

Since i kinda know the factory from the past (aka using them too often on hud), i thought i can use it to generate collection index elements infinity and sure it did.

with some minor visual bugs ofc.

so i can now create something without spamming collection index aswell having a capped on how indexs i have.

[hexed briar]

either way i already fixed that by uh using textbox string as alternative toggle.

[tropic badger]

Wait I don't get the previous problem.. what do you mean "toggle visibility"?

[hexed briar]

You can create a toggle that once clicked, some elements will appears. vice versa.

[tropic badger]

you're controlling amount of indices via toggle? Or are you showing elements via toggle?

Are you doing confirm button?

[hexed briar]

not exactly, was trying to do an alternative screens inside screen by using toggle.

basically dialog.

unfortunately like i said, it doesn't work on the factory element.

so it went broke until i manually use collection index spam.

[tropic badger]

Why not just do max length on factories then to #toggle_state * 0 + 1 that adds it to collection index thus resulting showing what is supposed to be showed?

[hexed briar]

Can't do that.

The factory i have is essentially calculating on how much worlds i have by reading the tab world numbers. then using them as maximum length so it can display worlds properly.

Doing that basically will create another elements that it doesn't exist and likely will not work.

or dummy buttons that doesn't do anything.

( even worse can crash the game because it can't fetch something that didn't exist )

Another note here that it's also uses bindings for visibility so uh, nope. doing that also breaks the whole search system aswell

[tropic badger]

Oh damn, if the text edit works for you then I guess

[hexed briar]

Either way, i tried multiple situations that i done the same from the past with complex toggle & operators.

this time it doesn't really work on factories and idk why.

[tropic badger]

Huh? Also what's the use because collection length is already at max world length

Oh wait

[hexed briar]

that's pretty much as far as i can go with factory.

[cyan venture]

Hey guys

Can I get a tester?
I want to test my server form if it's responsive for all devices

[hexed briar]

Your best bet is to mimic the screen resolution if you have a windows.

[cyan venture]

I am on android sadly

[pale gust]

Maybe use %
Does it work??

[hexed briar]

Is it mid-end or?

[cyan venture]

Mine is Tab galaxy S7

[hexed briar]

if you're making stuff on low-end/mid-end device, chances are. it should able to run across many platforms.

also, highly recommended to use percentage on size instead of fixed size (without percentage) since it's basically a dymanic scaling, so it should looks nicer across platforms.

[cyan venture]

And buttons?

I am making a fnaf server form

[hexed briar]

As long your parent element are dynamic scaled, it should be the same as buttons unless you use a fixed size for those

[cyan venture]

How do I place the buttons in any place I want but at the same time make it responsive?

[hexed briar]

If you made these things on a mid-end devices, chances are. it'll be responsive to all devices.

[cyan venture]

I am making it on a tablet

;-;

[hexed briar]

well it's all about the device spec.

looking at your tablet spec, it should definitely be responsive to every devices.

[cyan venture]

Wait really?

:0

[hexed briar]

well your tablet are about mid-range spec.

so it definitely should be responsive.

[cyan venture]

Hey, It doesn’t like how it supposed when I change the gui scale

Does that mean it’s not responsive or it doesn’t matter?

[hexed briar]

well nope

it's more of usable issues now.

[cyan venture]

I see

[hexed briar]

well i guess your best bet is use dynamic scaling size

aka "100%" or something

so it should apply the size the same to your screen resolution, which in return should look the same on every GUI scaling.

[cyan venture]

Then I should remove all of the fixed sizes right?

[hexed briar]

depends yeah.

although it's not easy to set everything as dynamic scaling and expecting it'll looks the same out of the bat.

[oblique gust]

But it has safezones,so 100% could be not enough tho

[hexed briar]

That's the purpose.

[cyan venture]

Damn Well is there a way to combine serverform with hud(I am asking this because hud title automatically works on every device)

[hexed briar]

If you wanna go without safezones, put your root contents via $screen_bg_content instead of $screen_content.

[oblique gust]

Wehh we can still manipulate it by over 200% or something

Ohh

[hexed briar]

This disables safezone entirely, although not recommended.

there's console where you can't see things on edges of the screen, that's what purpose safezone for.

or a phone where notches block your screen.

[cyan venture]

?

[hexed briar]

you can't combine screens into one.

although you can only use one as overlay, but that may be resource intensive dependently.

[cyan venture]

Yeah I want to use it like this

But also attached with buttons somehow

[hexed briar]

it's also kinda buggy since you just interacting things

also pretty sure it doesn't work on other platforms since, well. it doesn't have touch and yeah.

can't interact anything if you don't have touchable screen.

[cyan venture]

No I meant the buttons are on the server forms

And are usable

[hexed briar]

well again, it kinda buggy

you can move at the same time interacting buttons

[cyan venture]

Oh….

[last pollen]

Panels dont go inside stack panels?

[vital edge]

they do

[last pollen]

send me example pls

[undone marsh]

"stack_panel": {
"type": "stack_panel",
"size": [ "100%", "100%" ], // unnecessary unless custom size other than 100%
"controls": [ {
"[email protected]": {} } ] },
"panel": {
"type": "panel",
"size": [ "100%", "100%" ], // unnecessary unless custom size other than 100%
"control": [ {} ] }

[last pollen]

What if I have a panel that controls a stack panel can I add a panel to that

[last pollen]

doesnt go inside

is it because the image moves

[last pollen]

whole panel moves

its got to be panel with contol stack panel

[oblique gust]

Try to use panel instead of stack panel

Stack panel usually put the controlled elements in layer and doesn't overlap to each other

[turbid sphinx]

Is it possible to make something in the UI only show when it is in realms? using some requirement or something

[last pollen]

I think bindings has something

[nimble jungle]

Is #form_text a global binding that doesn't require the collection or do I have to put the collection.
(Cant test right now that's why I'm asking)

[nimble jungle]

nvm figured it out, it is global

[final grove]

anyone know hoe to add coordinates to hud screen text

[oblique gust]

"hoe"?? 🤨

[hard patrol]

How*

[last pollen]

what is the fastest way to reload a ui file

[tropic badger]

PC

[undone marsh]

By leaving and rejoining the world

I wished there was a command like scripts

/reload ui or something like that

[tropic badger]

It would never be because I think it works like any programming language, you need to recompile the assets to make changes

[undone marsh]

There's already one for behaviour packs

[tropic badger]

That's reloading the server

[undone marsh]

iirc it reloads scripts

not servers

[tropic badger]

Scripts is server-sided

[undone marsh]

Oh true

I am dumb

Sever Sided Packs When

[tropic badger]

Ore UI

[last pollen]

what is ore ui

[merry pike]

Can use # at variables ?

[whole jasper]

new ui, using react

[last pollen]

how they done that

how do i do the stack panel where the border extends only when I add buttons to it

[cunning bridge]

this is ridiculous, how don't you see anything wrong with json ui? the json language is terrible for ui. it's insane how did they put up with it for this long, instead tell me what's wrong with ore ui? for performance you can see the already existing ore ui screens like the world creation screen, and for ease of writing, well, it runs on react which is JavaScript ui basically, much neater than the infinite object in object in object nest that json requires you to work with.

[undone marsh]

Ore UI's performance is terrible against Json UI

[mental crystal]

Wait² if Mojang release the ore-ui, can you make your own custom ore-ui too?

[hexed yacht]

Js is also not liked by everyone.. json ui could easily be generated by programms
Json ui is also amazing to work with in modding mcbe with C++

[hexed yacht]

We already can

[mental crystal]

How did you made it? I mean the format is like JSON UI? Etc..

[cunning bridge]

not everyone works with generators

i rather write my code raw directly into the game and it runs without any intermediate steps

[hexed yacht]

The ore ui thingies are online on mojangs gh.. just edit the ire ui game files

Warning, efiting game files is not that great of an idea

[hexed yacht]

Writing json ui yourself isn't bad

It works great

[cunning bridge]

i have written enough json ui to say that i didn't enjoy it, i can't count the amount of commas i had to reload my world for and the sneaky extra brackets that i have to use a json validator to locate

[hexed yacht]

Thats just a skill issue

[cunning bridge]

it is, but why do i have to have this skill when better systems already exist?

[hexed yacht]

Well, the internal json ui design is really good!

I think they prolly use a generator to turn internal ui into json ui

[hexed yacht]

(The C++ code design and structure in the mcbe C++ codebase)

[cunning bridge]

well they could implement that generator in game if json is that great for performance and let us use a higher level language to write ui for it.

[hexed yacht]

I completly agree

[cunning bridge]

json code gets converted to zeros and ones anyway, why starting from there?

[tropic badger]

Not JSON-UI issue. That's on your end for choosing an editor.

[tropic badger]

Also this ^, since ORE-UI is web based, it greatly reduces the performance.

JSON-UI is fine but never been updated. That's why it kinda sucks.

[cunning bridge]

when you can't read or write in a language without a dictionary (an editor), you better off using using another language.

[hexed yacht]

It gets converted into a tree of UiControls that have some data like name, opacity.. etc and a list of uiconponents like text, toggles, buttons, images

[tropic badger]

What? JSON-UI is clearly made from JSON.

A very popular thing

[cunning bridge]

ik, but it sucks to read and write.

good luck finding the missing bracket when your editor doesn't highlight it

[hexed yacht]

Guys, I just came up with a really interesting solution for writing better ui in addons!

[undone marsh]

Just get a better editor!

[tropic badger]

Two things, it's either you don't want to or you don't know. Either way it's pretty subjective, I like JSON-UI tree-like structure, it gives off a idea on what or how related an element is to another.

[undone marsh]

Yep I agree

Js feels cluttered

[tropic badger]

This ^^, if you're pc use vscode, if in mobile use acode.

[undone marsh]

Mobile=Mt Manager

[tropic badger]

Sucks, lacks the ability to write formally on JSON. I personally just use it as an alternative file manager

[undone marsh]

Tells exact line of syntax error and what exact error it is

[hexed yacht]

There is an internal function to parse json ui to uicontrols and components...
I could write a mod that reads ui files in addons, for example with an html based syntax.... and converts these custom ui files to json ui and feeds tgem into the func for parsing it to uicontrols

[cunning bridge]

i am much better at reading json from where i started, but i can get really lost when i pass the 4rd or 5th layer of nesting. i use notepad++ on my pc which has the search tool that helps alot, but when i am trying to make sense of it on mobile, there isn't a great editors for it.

[tropic badger]

please don't talk about what you're seeing and how the game works here

[tropic badger]

Acode, there's plenty of plugins that could be use.

I personally just use Prettier and Ace Linters. That's it and some theme.

[undone marsh]

Mt manager, acode, vscode web

[tropic badger]

How are you getting this?

[hexed yacht]

Why not?

[undone marsh]

Reformat code button

[tropic badger]

Oh bruu, I use 'em to unobfuscate code 🤑

[hexed yacht]

It is public information, everyone can access it

[cunning bridge]

Acode doesn't have access to your Android/data folder does it?

[tropic badger]

Doesn't matter, I have made a unobfuscator by reversing a obfuscator website hehe

[tropic badger]

Yes above Android 11

And Android 11

[undone marsh]

Quick Edit app also works but the worst option of them all

[cunning bridge]

i use an app called "Simple Text Editor" and it has no syntax highlighting options

[tropic badger]

notice you see simple

not to be rude

[cunning bridge]

i figured you would say that, the other options are either paid, worse, or i don't know of

(acode also has ads 😂 seriously?)

[undone marsh]

Just use MT manager

[last pollen]

is it bad if i just use bridge tree editor for json ui lol

its worked fine

[vital edge]

i mean whatever makes you happy

or efficient

or comfortable with

[last pollen]

intresting

[tender flare]

is it possible to set the starting index of a grid? something like collection_index for single items

[oblique gust]

Can u show english ver

[oblique gust]

Thanks,thats very cool,we can access buttons faster now,not just opening another ui for list of maps and create world button

[hexed yacht]

Did anyone of you play around with ore-ui already?

[oblique gust]

i dont understand the ore ui code

[hexed briar]

eh, no.

Acode is also open-source, just compile yourself or maybe join their own telegram for a pre-compiled version of it. Pretty much the same principle as aseprite.

[hexed briar]

Also i have to disagree with this. comparing a nearly decade and decent UI framework to some html-react based UI that somehow costs performance is definitely not great.

I also find it enjoyable to modify and write json-ui over the past few years and it's pretty safe to say that it's pretty simple and got what i probably wanted for.

[hexed yacht]

I really agree, json ui has potential..!

[still sundial]

Only for already Ore ui screens right?

[hexed yacht]

Jup...

I wish ore ui would be more accessible

I think even ppl from this community would help redesign already existing json ui to ore ui

[hexed briar]

go go gadget converting vanilla settings into console-style

[languid arrow]

Does anyone know why this is happening to me?

[jolly rock]

Help, this dont work"source_property_name": "('textures/' + ( #hud_title_text_string - 'imagen'))" but this work, why? "source_property_name": "('textures/' + #hud_title_text_string)"

[tender flare]

is it possible to set the starting index of a grid? something like collection_index for single items

[whole jasper]

if it is combined with a scripting API it will be very functional,
but if it is only a json ui resource pack, binding is very difficult,
especially for those who are still very novice like me,
and the reason is to only use the resource pack so that the achievement remains active

[whole jasper]

How do you make the percentage?

[tropic badger]

He adds '%' ig

[hexed briar]

well bindings for value exists i suppose.

    "$toggle_group_forced_index": 2,
    "$tab_content": "play.common_navigation_tab_content"
  },```

Pretty sure this is just toggle with mapped buttons to toggle left and right with physical keys (keyboard) or each side of trigger buttons. (controller) with radio group (something that is casually used by dropdowns)

[oblique gust]

I dont understand how that works,i also cant find where $default_tab came from. So i removed it but it doesn't show

If its just toggles,how did it automatically disables if i clicked another one

[whole jasper]

This is different from yours which has a separate percentage, this is directly tied to the language in the text next to it

[hexed briar]

well basically i unbinded it.

so it's just a lang and percentage separately lmao

[whole jasper]

How to do it?

[hexed briar]

tl;dr - i rewrote nearly everything including buttons, sliders, dropdown and another things from the scratch.

[whole jasper]

that sounds very complicated

[hexed briar]

Well, kinda simple tbh. the bind version are basically a combination of lang text and value.

you can grab the text via lang, and about the value, it's separate bindings. from it and mostly there on tts (text to speech) string.

if there's no binding for the corresponding slider value, well. i also do hardcoded slider aswell in some parts. but probably unused anyways because most of slider has its own value bindings.

[whole jasper]

"$slider_tts_text_value": "#glint_strength_text_value",

So it displays a percentage value when displayed in a label?

[hexed briar]

Yeah

It's kinda self-explanatory enough since it's tts string.

so, tts gonna read it out loud.

Although note here that it's mostly hardcoded for the game.

[tropic badger]

Hm does anyone know why adding custom fonts doesn't work?

[undone marsh]

Have you added your custom font to "font_metadata.json"

[tropic badger]

Yes and added it to my label but it never worked

Do you guys add some extra things?

[undone marsh]

"font_type": "your font name"

[tropic badger]

Haven't work, do you have example pack?

Or wait nvm

I have

[hexed briar]

You may likely need to restart the game before applying custom fonts.

minecraft does not load custom font when applying it without restarting so

[oblique gust]

Finally learned it

It uses names and index,the button content is for contents inside the button,while the contents needs to exist and make bindings to visible it if the toggle state in a certain source control name is checked

[oblique gust]

--
Is there a hardcode to cover a screen ignoring the safe zone

[whole jasper]

use $screen_bg_content

[oblique gust]

thanks

[mental crystal]

You know dingsel? Check his website you could check how he did that

[mental crystal]

Sorry can't you understand what your saying.... What you just gonna do is whenever the form have that title, the font is different, the size of the title is different like that?

[weary wind]

It’s bad, bro

[mortal monolith]

"($text_name = '§bGames')"?

ohh

[weary wind]

It’s just that he was missing the target of the $text_name

[mortal monolith]

nice

[weary wind]

Try the code that passes you to see if that works in theory it should work

Haha sometimes for not putting shadow. It can break everything.

[weary wind]

Do you remember that it took 2 weeks to realize my mistake lol

[mortal monolith]

yep

[weary wind]

Hahaha xd

The $text_name I imagine stores the #title_text, right?

Okey

See if it works

[weary wind]

Pon MinecraftTen

Use MinecraftTen

[mortal monolith]

xd

[weary wind]

Use MinecraftTen and font_type

Mmmm

[weary wind]

Coool

[oblique gust]

server form

Thanks

[weary wind]

Using server Forms is easy

[oblique gust]

You're right

[weary wind]

Using the interactive npc is a roll

[oblique gust]

Its basic yet useful

Indeed

it has many ui,such as editing

Too much to handle

[weary wind]

They could try xd

[mental crystal]

Umm anyone knows if it's possible to have circle server form buttons, like the GTA V weapon wheel

[mental crystal]

Like this... Hahahaha

[tropic badger]

They've use textures sadly

[mental crystal]

It's just offset and textures it not entirely circle, and also they just add an option where you could drag the hotbar

There's and selection wheel in json UI, do anyone know how to use that?

[mental crystal]

If someone knows just ping me
