🛠️ Client-Side Scripting & UI

Until now, Eldiron has focused on server-side scripting for all game behavior, entities, and world logic. With the upcoming release, attention shifts to the client side, enabling the creation of fully interactive UI screens — all directly within the map editor.

What’s Next

  • 🧩 Sectors as UI Widgets Create interactive UI screens using sectors in your map. Buttons, panels, menus — all designed visually using the same tools as maps.

  • ⚡ Client-Side Scripting Define what happens when a player clicks a button, interacts with a widget, or opens a UI screen. These scripts run instantly on the client for a smooth, responsive experience.

  • 🔁 Complete Server/Client Architecture UI logic runs on the client, while core game behavior stays securely on the server. This finalizes the split between client and server responsibilities — making the system fast, flexible, and future-proof.

This update lays the foundation for powerful UI creation in Eldiron and completes the core architecture of the engine. The new release is just a few weeks away!

Stay tuned, and thanks for following along!
