Further GUI requests

For 0.10 we need the NPC dialogue window. It would be beneficial, if it could be finished at the release of 0.09.

For 0.11 we need a fps display (i.e. a small number in a corner of the screen, that shows the current FPS). This feature should be controlled via a command line switch (e.g. --fps). Ogre implements this feature already, but it looks a bit heavyweight. You might want to have a look at it to determine if it is better to come up with a custom implementation or to use the Ogre one.

And yes I believe it makes sense for me to continue working on the GUI windows, as I'm learning more and more about MyGUI. Allthough I would also like to do some other tasks as well (in parallell), just doing GUI can get a bit boring.

You need it in 0.10 but want it for 0.09, confused?? Is this a typo? or?

A simple solution for the FPS counter would be to use a transparent MyGUI window, that should be fairly quick to add.
Is there a console command for toggling it? If not perhaps we should add it?

I would prefer not to add script commands at this time. We will have to introduce a method to make new scripts commands optionals to avoid possible name collisions with scripts in mods. I have some ideas on how to do that. But this is clearly post 1.0 work. A simply command line switch will do for now.

Edit: I think you forgot a few GUI elements on your wiki page. What about the player's journal and GUIs for reading books and scrolls? And the level-up dialogue is missing too.
