CEGUI doing Multiple ImageSets
Now that I’m getting the hang of using Ogre and CEGUI, I’ve posted a little sample app that shows how to have a layout that uses multiple image sets. Get the source [here]. Includes all the project files and depencies you need to compile with Ogre and Crazy Eddie. 30 MEG!!!

Here is a handy Perl module called [GuidGen] that let’s you create GUIDs (Global Unique Identifiers) in Perl. A GUID is basically a random number that is guaranteed to be unique across the net. It is based on time and your MAC address. A GUID is useful in something like the ‘user agent’ string, hehe.
