[HowTo] Adding a new button in the client UI

[astroNOT 144]

Hello,

 

How can i create a new button that will show somewhere on the player's screen, which files stand for button object creation, and which module is the actual UI design ? To respect the patterns already implemented?

 

I assume I would create a button based on the classes in ui.py module. The question is where do I create the actual UI definition to display the button

 

in game? And on click, the lets say icon.tga button would display a message, "Hello world"?

 

Thanks

It depend where you need to add it... 

e.g.
add button in inventory -> uiinventory.py
add button in taskbar -> uitaskbar.py

add button in minimap -> uiminimap.py

etc etc
