Multiple splash screens for itgb.

by Hitesh Patel · in iTorque 2D · 01/05/2010 (12:30 pm) · 2 replies

Hi,

I wanted to have multiple splash screens for my game on the iphone. At the moment it takes 12secs to load my game and it only shows the iTGB splash screen. I wanted to have my customised splash screen to show first and then the iTGB splash screen. How can i go about doing this? Also is possible to show an animated splash screen???

The initial splash is static and can not be changed. Thats shown by the iphone os itself while the application is loading. The image for that is in Default.png, always.

For additional splash screens after that you could use script controlled GUI elements

For this I have a question. I simply used what worked in TGB, but does not here. 

///main.cs in TGB
   $splash = 1;
   exec("~/gui/splash.gui");               
   exec("./gameScripts/splash.cs");  
   

this is what I used in TGB. What do I need to do different in iTGB?
///in spalsh.cs
// Get number of splash screens from splash.ini
function getSplashNumber()
{    
   %nReturn = false;
   
    %file = new FileObject();    
    if (%file.openForRead("./Settings/splash.ini"))
    {    
      while ( !%file.isEOF() )
      {
           $splash = %file.readLine();
      }
     
      %file.close();
      %nReturn = true;
    }
    
    return %nReturn;
}

// Load splash screen
function loadSplash()
{
    // Load game
    if ($splash == 0)
    {
        resetCanvas();
        startGame($defaultScene);
        
    }
   
    // Display splash screen
    else 
    {
        splashGUI.bitmap = "~/data/splash/logo" @ $splash @ ".png";
        canvas.popDialog(splashGUI);
        canvas.pushDialog(splashGUI);
        schedule(3000, 0, checkSplash);
        $splash--;
    }

}

// Check to see if splash screen should be loaded
function checkSplash()
{
   if (splashGUI.done)
      loadSplash();
    else
      schedule(100, 0, checkSplash);
}
