Gui help

by Jason Pfaff · in General Discussion · 07/27/2006 (9:50 am) · 7 replies

I am trying to go through the getting started tutorial. When I start changing my scorecounter GUI I get everything set up right then I save that Gui as the playGui.gui, but for some reason it never really saves it. When I go back into the scene it is nowhere to be found as if I never did it. Any help would be great!! Thanks

Make sure the name is correct and you save it in the right folder. I also when make changes with GUI sometime it dont recompile when start the engine, so you have to go and delete the dso for it to recompile.

Jason, I had this same problem, and I hope I can tell you the solution:.

The default save folder is incorrect for the playGui. You have to find where it saves it too,
and move it into the correct folder.

My TGE, has a hard time remebering the last folder I was in as well, and sometimes when Im not
thinking about it, can misplace something.

If unsure just do a right click and search in your torque directory for you playgui file and I bet
you will find a whole bunch of the ones you already saved.

Im almost positive that is the problem here. Im interested to hear back wether it was or not.

Hmmm I just tried doing that and it still does not want to work.


Hey I have a couple more questions maybe you guys can help with?

1st: I have been doing the tutorial and I have got everything set up with a start button on the splash screen and when I push start it will try to load but it just hangs on loading objects and it won't take me into the scene.

2nd: When I am in the mission editor I used to press F11 and I could change between modes but for some reason it won't work anymore.

Any help is great!!!! Thanks again.

Have you change anything in the code? The path for playGUI is starter.fps\client\ui. i know there some problem with the tutorial. Sound like you have some script wrong. Look at folder where you make changes to the scripts (cs) and see if they are compile. Which ever script (cs) that does not have dso file there is a problem with that script. If you like you can zip up your project and send it to me. I will take look at. I just try a clean install and make change to playGUI, there was no problem with the changes show up. If you give me more detail about what you doing we should be able to fix it.
