[0.14.13] gui direction does not seem to work

[matjojo]

I'm making a mod, that for the setup-progress needs some gui work, I use a lot of the gui without any problems, but tody I got into a problem that I have not been able to fix for over three hours...

This is my gui-frame:

Code: Select all

gui = playerdata.gui.center.FT_FR_teamsetup.FT_FL_teams_overview
gui.add{type = "frame", name = team.name, caption = team.name, direction = "vertical"}
gui[team.name].add{type = "frame", name = "FT_FR_players_in_team", caption = {"gui.players-in-this-team"}, style = "FT_FR_players_in_team", direction = "vertical"}

code that add's the labels:

Code: Select all

gui.add{type = "label", name = d, caption = d}

where d is a string the the player's name
I took some lines from it to make it readable.
One would expect the "FT_FR_players_in_team" gui-frame to place labels into it with the give direction, vertical. it does this, but only half:
one label in it:

Two labels in it:


it seems to make space for pushing the second one down, but does not actually does that.


anyone any idea?

If you'd want the complete mod, and directions to get in this part, ask, and I'll add them.

Try putting the labels into a flow.

I made it a bit more clear in OP, it's already in a frame, I just made it look like an "outer_frame_style" which is not visible as frame, only as flow with a caption.

I'd rather not add a flow in the frame, as I should not have to do it, I really should not have to do that.

The GUI is getting reworked in 0.15, but until then you'll probably need to use flows in addition to frames.

darn, that kinds sucks, I mean I like the rework, but I already spent months on this, I guess it's never bad to get more experience.
