Problem with GUI Editor

by James Daniel · in Torque Game Builder · 06/11/2007 (7:26 pm) · 2 replies

When creating a splash screen using the GuiFadeinBitmapCtrl I'm not able to set the Bitmap in the GuiBitmapCtrl section. When I press the ... button I get the Open dialog and I can move to the /games/data/images but all of the images are grayed out. My images are either png or bmp files. What gives here?

I'm run the Mac version of Beta 3.

Perhaps .bmp's are unsupported? I only ever use portable network graphics and JPEGs, is your splash screen a .bmp?

Personally, I find the GUI creation system in TGB to be tiresome. Maybe I'm just impatient, but I can get so much more done using scene objects and the like.

The image is a PNG, but I also tried BMP but none of them are selectable.
