Error reporting system - thelusiv - 12-06-2005
I hope to incorporate some kind of graphical message/error reporting system into the new VDrift GUI. What do you guys think about how it should be done? there are a few different ways, for instance, in the quakes there is a console for messages and errors. Actually, we already have a message queue system, so we could either improve upon it, or leave it as-is and add something else, like error message dialogs. Thoughts?

I say we use a message queue class. It's already got the ability to store and display messages, I just need to modify so you can make it visible/invisible.

That sounds good. What if I set up a sort of half-screen box that comes down and displays the contents of the message queue when the user presses some key, say the ` key?

If it's going to be a console like thing, maybe we should add another GUI class (or use an existing GUI class).
