guigraphctrl..does it exist?

#1 I never noticed that the netGraph toggle didn't work in TGEa until now, but the Ctrl does appear to be there, even though nothing seems to make use of it anymore:

"~/engine/source/gui/editor/guiGraphCtrl.h"
"~/engine/source/gui/editor/guiGraphCtrl.cpp"

#2 ... and a quick test shows that the netGraph GUI from TGE 1.5.2 works in TGEa 1.8.1, so yeah it exists.

#3 How might i get the netgraph from 1.5.2 ?

Does GG allow us to Download older version ?


Thanks for the pointer

#4 I think that TGEa owners can get TGE now at no charge, hmm, not sure how that works but you would have to ask I would think.

#5 Ah hell, it's just a script file for one little gui:
These are the needed Profiles and the NetGraphGUI itself

#7 NetGraphGui.gui was found in the common/ui directory. I don't suppose it really matters where you place it, just so long as it get's exec'd. The keybind for it still exists in your default.bind.cs.

#8 Thanks very much

I will try it out and see what i can get it to do

#9 Is it just me, or are the necessary functions missing that make it work - post #6?

I can see them when I try editing that post but for some reason they don't show up - might be something to do with the recent site update today.

EDIT: ah, it was the latest set of changes to the website that caused it -- all fixed now!
