Help With TGEA Front-End
by Greg "Bloodaxe" Williamson · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 04/11/2007 (3:37 pm) · 11 replies
Greetings All,
First off...I am a novice coder on a good day. Our coder/programmer went missing, well he met a girl and will be gone for a while. We are a bunch of network engineers, 3D artist and animators who need to keep the motion going forward.
We are starting to use the TGEA and need help getting a front-end like TGE, i.e. start mission, join mission, options, etc.
I think I can get it done if I had a little help...well all I can get.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I can go in and and add missions and do scripting but like I said my c++ coding is not so hot. I am just trying to get a functional front-end like in TGE. I guess point me in the right direction to find the coding...I don't know we are at a loss with out our coder. Any help would be great.
Thanks

It's not very clear what you mean specifically by 'get a functional front end like in TGE'.

I think you mean you want to convert your existing TGE menus, missions and stuff over to TGEA.... is that what you mean? Porting over something you've been working on in TGE into a TGEA version?It's not very clear what you mean specifically by 'get a functional front end like in TGE'.

Well...yes that would work. I am looking for the same interface as on TGE, i.e. start mission, join mission, options, etc.

I might be missing something too....can't you just copy your GUIs over?

It sounds like something that could be done but we do not know how. We are lost with no coder. Do you know of a doc that will tell us how to do this.Thanks

That's where your GUI files are stored, as well as their related graphics. Don't forget to grab the corresponding script files in (yourMod)\client\scripts....for instance, optionsDlg.gui has a corresponding optionsDlg.cs

Go to your mod folder (example, starter.fps)\client\ui\That's where your GUI files are stored, as well as their related graphics. Don't forget to grab the corresponding script files in (yourMod)\client\scripts....for instance, optionsDlg.gui has a corresponding optionsDlg.cs
