GUI Editor not saving properly

by Ian Wheat · in Torque Game Engine · 12/12/2001 (8:21 am) · 7 replies

Whenever I save my gui and quit the test app then launch it again my gui resets to how it was before I saved.
How is save is just clicking the save button then selecting mainMenuGui.gui and clicking save.

Any ideas as to why it's not saving properly?

I just posted with the same problem. I believe the .gui files in client\ui are read only and the save doesn't generate an error.

I don't think so because I just checked mainMenuGui.gui in fps/client/ui and it's not read only
it is archive but I don't think that would affect it

my saving only stopped working yesterday afternoon

I just tried my copy (the current head) and it worked fine, after I made sure the .gui file was writeable :) If you guys have any other information on how to reproduce the problem, please post.

I made all my .gui files in fps/client/ui writable and archived (that's how they were when I got them except that it was read-only)
and it still doesn't work =/

Thanks to EdGardener in #GarageGames I found out that I have to delete the .gui.dso files before I can edit the gui

the .dso files are the compiled versions of the .gui files

Deleting the .dso solved your problem? that sounds like a bug to me.
