GUI not Saving
by Zuero · in Torque Game Engine · 09/25/2008 (3:25 pm) · 6 replies
Ok my very annoying and agrrivating problem is this:
I change the MainMenuGui background to my own and the GuiButtonCtrl that are there which are Start Mission... Join Server... Options... About... Recordings... and Quit! These Gui Buttons disappear after putting in the new background. I have tried to redo this and it doesn't help.
My real problem is this:
Everytime I try to save all those buttons AFTER I remake them by clicking "mainMenuGui.gui" and I close the FPS Starter Kit and reopen it. All the buttons are gone. I have tried to save this many times as it was before clicking "mainMenuGui.gui" and nothing seems to work. No matter how many times I redo this and try to save it, it does not save anything other than the Background I put in.
Can someone tell me how to fix this?

Are you seeing this in Vista?

Load a mission, then F-10, and select the main menu gui, make your changes, and save it. Delete .dso's and restart. Don't try to make changes while the main menu gui is active.
Like I said, dunno if it'll help, but its a suggestion.

Dunno if this'll help, but you can't edit a gui while using it, meaning, if you open the gui editor from the main menu screen, you can't make changes to it. Well, you can, but things get screwy.Load a mission, then F-10, and select the main menu gui, make your changes, and save it. Delete .dso's and restart. Don't try to make changes while the main menu gui is active.

I start torque, start mission, then hit F-10 to bring up the gui editor.
Click the center button (which currently says PlayGui) and select MainMenuGui.
Click the folder (in the top right panel) GuiChunkedBitmapCtrl-MainMenuGui
In the bottom panel, scroll down to Misc\bitmap and click the ...
A window pops up "Open File..."
select the picture you want as your background and click Load
Click apply
Click File\Save GUI
Make sure you save in client\ui
Exit (I just hit the X in the top right corner)
Delete .dso's
Restart Torque. It works for me, using TGE 1.5.2 on a Toshiba Satellite running WinXP.
Someone mentioned Vista in a previous post? Is this a known bug with Vista?
