NGUI 3 Support / Re: Is NGUI still actively supported?

« on: January 10, 2018, 03:22:56 PM »

It would be nice to know what the plans are for NGUI. I'm waiting to update Unity beyond 2017.1, because that's the newest version that NGUI 3 has been updated for... Maybe an NGUI 4 is in the works?

NGUI 3 Support / Re: Font Maker problems with Unity5

« on: December 10, 2015, 07:43:25 AM »

I think it's as simple as downloading the package from the website then running CMake on it. You just need to have a Mac. I work exclusively on PC.

Actually, it seems it's not that simple. I downloaded the source for freetype-2.6.2 on a Mac and compiled it. The resulting .dylib file is attached. You'll see it's called "libfreetype.6.dylib" -- I've tried renaming it to "FreeType64.dylib" and using it with NGUI, but the Unity editor crashes when I drag a font into Font Maker... You can see if you have any better results with it.

NGUI 3 Support / Best way to set up colored grid of letters?

« on: August 21, 2015, 03:40:49 PM »

I want to create a 10x10 grid of square cells. Each cell contains a letter and background color.

So, I created a GameObject called "Grid" with a UIGrid component attached to it.
I then created a GameObject called "Cell" with 2 children: a UILabel to hold the letter and a UISprite for the background color.
I added 100 of those "Cells" to the "Grid."

Is this the best way to do this with NGUI?
Should the "Grid" or "Cell" have a UIWidget component attached?
Is the UISprite necessary for the background color? Or is there a better way?

Thanks in advance for helping a beginner!
