Im not sure if im using it right
No matter what i do, i cannot get a image to appear on the button.
I have a regular bitmap control and that displays the image fine, but if i copy the bitmap location in the gui editor to the bitmapbuttoncontrol it still does not display the image.

Just out of curiosity try that with a png image

If that doesn't work (or you are already doing that), then you are probably specifying the wrong folder.

What's the name of your image files? Referencing ngbutton causes the engine to look for the four files ngbutton_n for the normal state, ngbutton_h for the hover state, ngbutton_d for the depressed state, and ngbutton_i for the inactive state. It shouldn't make a difference whether you're using pngs or jpgs.If that doesn't work (or you are already doing that), then you are probably specifying the wrong folder.

In other words, creating and placing a new button (or whatever) bitmap in another app while you are in Gui Editor doesn't work until you restart with any new bitmaps.

Seems obvious now, but one issue I had in getting the button bitmaps working was realizing I needed to make sure all my referenced bitmaps needed to exisit before I start up the game.In other words, creating and placing a new button (or whatever) bitmap in another app while you are in Gui Editor doesn't work until you restart with any new bitmaps.

Or you reset your mod path. No restart needed.
