Anyone else having problems adding other info to the Group Window
 
I did some playing. I added myself to the group window. Unfortunately, the group window seems to be hardcoded.

Although there are 5 PAGEs in the file, they are only rendered when you actually add a member to the group. When no one is grouped with you, only one page is rendered. When a person joins you, they fill thast page and the next page is rendered empty. This process continues as you add people to the group.

I have found that this special rendering code prevents the window from being resized correctly. Instead of behaving like a VolumePage and wrapping everything automatically, they seem to have special code that examines the X location of the GroupMember0 PAGE, and realigns all the other GoupMemberX PAGEs so they line up under it is need be.

I'd be inertested to hear what others have experienced. If need be I can try and put something back together so you can see what I'm talking about.

I have already tried the following without luck. I tried converting it to a VolumePage and it crashed the client. I tried renaming myself to GroupMember1 and it crashed the client.

BTW, the grey boxes aren't permanent. When I'm working on some code, I make all my pages grey so I can see where they lay. I was working on this for a minimalistic interface. It is meant to be played with the Normal and Mouseover Opacties set to 0.

If they exposed all of the GroupMember info in DynamicData, we could just scrap this hardcoded window and make our own.

ok well... yeah hardcoding sucks.
I think i have a window that works.. The pages (somehow) have stopped wrapping tho... It's not really tested, but i'm just going to throw it into downloads.. awaiting approval..

what exactly is wrong with what you posted? it seems ok.

Okay, here is what I'm talking about. I am Ntchwai and the other character is the first group member. The empty box is where the next group member will go. TIf this was working correctly, then that empty box would appear under Ntchwai's name. However, all of the GroupMmeber2-9 PAGEs queue off of the GroupMember1's X location.

oh yeah, the wrapping on mine is totally busted too. I dont think the other members queue off groupy1's X.. somebody posted this in my group window thread:

/shrug, just hardcoding being annoying. unless you can get volume page to stop crashing you'll have to x/y everything... or does that not work either?
