[Fixed] label zindex issue when overlaying on textures

Title: Label zindex issue when overlaying on textures
Reproduction Rate: 100%
Blocker? No
Details: When overlaying a label on a texture, the text is always behind the texture despite the draw order. Labels drawn after the texture should show on top of the texture. This just started happening with the latest round of patches.
Steps to Reproduce: Draw a texture and two labels. The two labels should be drawn in the same space as the texture. Draw one label before and one label after the texture draw. The label drawn before is correctly behind the texture. The label drawn after the texture though is also behind the texture.

Code:

local tex = nil
local client_width = 0
local client_height = 0
function ShroudOnStart()
    tex = ShroudLoadTexture("window-background.png", true)
    client_width = ShroudGetScreenX()
    client_height = ShroudGetScreenY()
end
function ShroudOnConsoleInput(type, src, msg) end
function ShroudOnGUI()
    ShroudGUILabel(client_width/2 - 50 , client_height/2 - 100, 200, 50, "<size=20>test of behind text</size>")
    ShroudDrawTexture(client_width/2 - 50 , client_height/2 - 100, 200, 200, tex)
    ShroudGUILabel(client_width/2 - 50 , client_height/2 + 50, 200, 50, "<size=20>test of in-front text</size>")
end
function ShroudOnUpdate()
    ShroudGUIText( client_width/2 - 50 , client_height/2 + 50, 250, 100, "<color=red>HOWDY DUDE</color>", 32)
    ShroudGUIText( client_width/2 - 40 , client_height/2 + 50, 250, 100, "<color=yellow>HOWDY DUDE</color>", 32)
end

 

just a note that in the new QA version this is still an issue. also of note is that the new ShroudGUIText() function doesnt really have a way to control zindex either when mixing with the existing gui functions. it draws on top of the ShroudGUILabel() text but under the ShroudDrawTexture(). it does appear to draw in proper sequence within onupdate so maybe if all the gui functions become onupdate functions then its a non-issue.

im excited for the new GUI functions just want to make sure we can sequence all the draw types so we can have proper zindexing and also want to ensure the old calls work as they did. as of right now any mod that overlayed text on images for a background have the image on top of the text.

NOTE: i updated the sample code and image i provided to include some testing with the new ShroudGUIText call.

 

this appears to be resolved with the latest QA build. thank you!
